Silicone Remover

It`s cheap, too.

I use it the same way I used to use TAW. Spray the entire car down with it, let it dwell, then agitate the parts that need it. Even on the thickest dried on wax, no more than five seconds with an ultra soft tooth brush is needed for complete removal. Most visible dried on wax won`t even require any agitation. Mix it 1:1 for this use.

So you don`t use it as a typical wash per say (pour several ounces in a wash bucket and wash the car) instead you use it almost as an APC?

NXT is pretty agresive, it also cleans well. I use it as a foam presoak w/ cannon + PW. It usually helps break down bug-jerky and break dust.

You can get HI-Temp at Top of the Line.

You *can* use it as a regular wash, but for really nasty stuff it`s best used as a pre-spray. As a soap bucket type wash, it`s still very strong.... strongest out there. A bucket full of prep wash and an extremely gentle BHB will strip off LSP in a hurry.

NXT has a PH level of 9-based on my testing with pool test strips. Kit Car wash was very mild.

What`s the difference in CG`s Wash&Clear and their Wash&Gloss?

**agpatel** · 07-11-2009, 02:51 PM

Wash&Gloss has glossing agents to gloss up the finish after washing and clear does not have any glossing agents and is just a car soap.

IME, the best cleaning wash is 1Z Exclusiv Glanz-Shampoo.

The least Aggressive I have tried is probably the cheap Zym0l stuff.

I think I have all of the CG shampoos and I love them. (Al, PM me if you want some samples.)

I`d also like to try the Meguiar`s Detailer line of shampoos but I haven`t gotten around to it yet. I have a few gallons of CG shampoos so if anyone wants to trade some samples let me know.

does the bug and tar wash foam like a normal car wash?

Hey guys, I`d like some Optimum samples if you can spare any. I`m in SF bay area. Just got some CG stuff but wanna try some other stuff

Ive got a couple questions regarding High Temp Prep Wash:

1)Can I use this in a foam cannon? If so what ratio?

2)Could I use this on wheels to take off old sealant?

Thanks

1. I dunno. I`ve never tried it in the cannon. Hmmm.. something new to try!

I`ve used it in a bucket several times, but I always mix stuff in the bucket to have zero foam. Makes it easier to get good flow through the BHB that way.

2. Definitely. It`ll make quick work out of old sealant, brake dust, whatever type of nasty is on your wheels, it`s gonna take it off. It`s not *quite* as major league as an acid based wheel cleaner, but it`s still strong.
