I’m headed off to Hershey (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rocking nana.gif) tomorrow morning and one of my projected purchases is P21S wheel cleaner gel. I’ve used this on all of the cars for several years and have been very satisfied; and while it is a bit on the $$ side, it only seems to take a little bit to do the job. I’ve also thought about switching to the Griot’s wheel cleaner since it is a bit cheaper. Has anyone tried both products so they could give me a comparison?
Thanks, Harvey |

Sorry...I've heard the griot's is decent but haven't tried it yet.
....but I'll be heading up in the 914 tomorrow from Berwyn (provided I find a new heater flapper box between now and then as the bell part on one of mine somehow just broke off). |

Harvey, I haven't used Griot's, but I agree P21 is awesome stuff. When I bought my Harley the wheels were kinda dull and yellow'd. I used P21 and they looked as new.
I'm interested to hear some comparisons. |

Harvey I have both, and I have used both, want to buy some Griots.
Stick with the P21s, safe for alloy wheels and it works. readily available and it doesn't cost as much as the other. CCLINWHEELSARECLEAN |

They call it a gel, but it is just a thicker spray. Won't run off the surface as quickly as their standard product.
Thanks for the information guys. Harvey |
