Default G101 vs.....

alot of people have recommended autosmart G101 for engine bay, wheel arch cleaning etc.

its about £20 for 5 litres. i was wondering how this differs from normal APC (the domestic kind) i have used tescos own brand APC will pretty good results, but then i see the stuff the guys use at the polish car wash, is that just really strong TFR. makes an easy job of my wheels, they do what takes me 30 mins in about 2 mins

will be restocking my valeting shelve soon so seeing what i should get

i got some bilberry wheel cleaner a while back and didn't find it vastly different to other stuff i had used previously.....so a bit cynical now i guess

I use Megs APC but only because I have lots of it...

Tesco Daisy is the stuff to use as well! Gets good reviews!

Cover the arch lining in Aerospace 101 or Bare Bones

I have always used G101 for SO many different things with it diluted to suit. Bodywork, Wheels, trim, seats, carpets..........Its superb and wouldnt use anything else.

Valet-Pro Dragons Breath is great for Wheels, similar to Iron-X but you get more and its cheaper

i've just ordered some dragons breath this week to see how it goes, i'm glad someone else has used it as the iron-x is quite a bit more expensive and went through a small bottle fast.

I get my G101 free from work, so regularly use that or some standard APC from asda etc that's at home. Personally I find that there is fook all difference between the two, they both do exactly the same job, smell the same, look the same, probably is the same
