Not only that, but it contains formaldehyde, along with chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer. Be careful. Wear all proper protection gear if you choose to use this wheel cleaner. I was initially excited and thought it would be a good one to have. Please everyone be wary of your health and take precautions when dealing with not only this, but all chemicals!

Happy Detailing!
 
Why is it always the state of California that does the Cancer tests? At any rate I will have to try these two. I really need a good waterless wash because you can't wash your car in your driveway in Germany. It's against the law.

And what's nice about a professionally run forum is when a can of worms is opened, we get to the bottom of any issues or concerns brought up.

Since this thread announcing two new products has brought up some questions, I'll contact Meguiar's and ask them to read through everyone's comments and try to shed some light on some of the topics and concerns brought up.

One thing for sure, Meguiar's has been providing all segments of the car industry quality products as long and longer than most around and they're also very good at doing their homework and if there are ingredients in a product that are required to enable the end-user to do a job effectively I'm sure there are also the appropriate safety instructions and warnings to go with the product.

So we'll use the posts in this thread as an opportunity to let the manufacturer do some educating...

The truth of the matter is that we should all be using the correct protection when working with "any" chemical as "any" could and do pose personal danger when not used properly.

Well guys, it's looks like you've basically sorted out the whole pH aspect of this. We clearly state that this product is not recommended for use on polished aluminum, anodized or powdercoated surfaces. As has been pointed out, this is essentially a bulk, concentrated packaging of our Hot Rims All Wheel & Tire Cleaner. We do recommend diluting this product 2:1 with water, further stretching the economy of the product.
 
My wheels are called "alloy" which is part aluminum. Guess this won't work for me.
 
Thanks Nick, they are factory wheels and go to a Mercedes 2012 ML350. Here is the description: "19-inch twin 5-spoke wheels
The standard 19-inch alloy wheels feature five twin spokes and a luminous silver finish. They're fitted with beefy 255/50R19 all-season tires for an optimal year-round balance of surefooted handling and a quiet ride". So, I don't really know if these are considered clear coated or not.

I bought D115 to mainly do a review on it and make it go up against UWW+ (like in its own review). I still have a ton of UWW+ so now I have a ton of WW. Should last me a while. :props:

I'm looking forward in sharing my thoughts on them.

I didn't get it. It's something I don't need at the moment as I still have lots of polishes to use up. In addition, my bill was already piling up and I don't have the luxury of spending a lot at the moment. :(

Nice, but a bit expensive for the rinseless.

We kind of got sidetracked on the wheel cleaner in this thread, I'm looking forward to some reviews on the new rinseless wash and wax...that price point is way out there compared to the DG rinseless (with AW) and the ONRWW.

In trying to determine where that pricepoint is, I'm a little miffed by the directions for this product, which seem to be (on the label) for waterless only with a 4:1 dilution. They do also mention 20:1 but it's unclear if that is the minimum waterless dilution or whether that is supposed to be the rinseless dilution (at over 6 oz/gal that would make the TW rinseless look economical).

The AG product page says 2 oz/5 gal, which would make it go further than most rinseless, including its brother, D114 Rinse Free Express Wash.
 
Got my gallon of D143 with D143 spray bottle and foaming spray trigger. Can't wait to try it out. Going to dilute it 2 to 1 the first time around.

As per the meguiars forum it's really made to be a waterless and not a rinseless.
