Review: Britemax Grime Out Degreaser
This is a review of Britemax’s Degreaser. It is a concentrated non-acid formula that can be diluted to be used as a Wheel Cleaner, Wax Stripper, Interior Cleaner or use full strength as a degreaser on engine bays or heavily soiled wheels.
The test vehicle is my wifes 2013 Nissan Jetta. I decided to test out Britemax degreasing powers on the wheels and the engine.
This is the before picture.
This is after three minutes dwell time.
This is after rinsing. Not bad, but needs some more love.
I gave it another shot of Britemax Grime Out spray and a quick brushing and rinse and it was all clean.
At the same time I used Meguiar’s D108 Super Degreaser, diluted at 10:1 (my standby) and the wheels came out the same. Both needed a second application and brushing to be considered clean.
Next I used Britemax Grime Out Degreaser on my engine bay.
Before
After
The engine bay looked good after applying Britemax Grime Out Degreaser and just rinsing, no brushing necessary. I ran the engine for 5 minutes to make sure everything was dry and functioning correctly.
Conclusion: Britemax Grease Out Degreaser is a good product and works as labeled. The smell was pleasant. I did notice the Britemax product appeared to remove iron deposits better than Meguiar’s Super Degreaser. After spraying the Britemax degreaser on the wheels there was a brownish red runoff on my driveway, whereas with the Meguiar’s product there was not any color runoff. Nowhere does the manufacturer claim iron removal, but they do mention the removal of brake dust. The Britemax gallon cost is $26.99 opposed to Meguiar’s at $19.99 (current sale $16.99). Even with the price variance taken into the equation Britemax Grease Out could be of use in your detailing arsenal due to its ability to be used similar to an APC at higher dilutions.
