So I got this in the mail today and had some time to kill, and wanted to do a quick review of this product :inspector:

Got the product, and a dilution measurement bottle :D

Will be testing on on exterior, so I diluted 10 parts water to 1 part product as instructed (2.5oz of product to 25.5oz of water to be exact)

And where ready to go! (luke-warm filtered tap water)

Here is the family work truck, everyone uses it so it gets its abuse. The wheel/tire is not filthy, but still dirty.

Using as directed, i thoroughly rinsed the area with water before use.

Using a foaming trigger, (which kept falling off the bottle >_<) It went on easy and the cling to the tire & wheel well was great. Used Mothers tire & wheel brushes for agitation.

After rinsing with the hose here, quite a bit of browing & built up dirt/grime/brake dust came off with ease. Here is the finished look.

Product Conclusion: For an APC, it worked well above my expectations. I've tried quite a few different all-purpose-cleaners and this is by far one of the best. I have yet to try it on interior, but i'm sure it'll preform well; adding to this thread on interior use later on. I'll be using this for quite awhile now, for 8.99 and a 10/20 to 1 dilution ratio its very cost effective. The scent is not overpowering, just a nice citrus smell of course. Hands down, it does what it says. Works great.

:thanks Hope you enjoyed the review!
 
brushes on the ground face down, comeon!
nice review though, I'd like to see it updated with interior work as well :D
I recently pickedup allclean+ and have very high expectations for it, hoping to replace apc+ with it
 
Awesome. I'll be getting some in my next AG order. Did you buy the dilution bottle from AG as well?
 
Nice write up. I just got a bottle and need to mix some up.
 
Bought some when it first came out and at a dilution rate of 10 to 1 for outside surfaces, for the price you can't go wrong. As soon as I sprayed it on the tires it started working to break down all the grime and contamination, excellent product. I still use diablo wheel gel to clean the rims and wheels.:dblthumb2:

can you compare it on tires to mothers foaming wheel and tire cleaner?
 
Mothers foaming tire & wheel cleaner would be very gentle compared to this stuff. Its an all-wheel cleaner so it has a very mild cleaning ability.
 
I'm not interesting in wheel cleaning, that's easy at least we're talking customers and their neglect, I mean about breaking down and removing the grime that builds up on the tires / in them / the spent dressing, mothers foaming is incredible, but if allclean+ can match at an extremely reduced cost..

I would like to know how the GC All Clean stacks up against OPC.
Several months back,I picked up 5-Gallons of OPC and I'm getting low.
Will probley order another (5) gallons of OPC but would like to see more reviews of the CG All Clean used on interiors as well because I've used OPC at dilution ratio's on many interior details and for me it works extremely well.
Wondering how this new CG product stacks against OPC (exterior & interior)?
 
I use a combo of Meguiars All wheel cleaner (purple bottle), a tire brush & microfiber scrubber sponge. Never had an issue cleaning tires & leaves them squeaky clean ready for some Pinnacle Tire Onyx :)

I got the dilution bottle from the Dollar General believe it or not, great bottles for $1 a piece. The sprayer on them suck though so have extras handy.

I don't detail a ton of cars, so for the exterior(paint, wheels, tires, plastic, etc..), P21S TAW it is for me! :dblthumb2:
