This product is not yet available from Chemical guys, but here it is! It's a super thick wheel gel cleaner -- and by thick I mean it's like syrup!

AMAZING product, it's pricey at almost $60 a gallon, but if you have track pads or just wheels that get filthy, it's worth it! I cut it 1:1 with water and it still clings like crazy! Spray it on, let it dwell for 10-15 minutes and agitate with your favorite brush. (I recommend the SwissVax Wheel Brush reviewed earlier) And then rinse off!

And I failed to mention it smells like bubble gum. It's delicious. I want to drink it.

It's just a heavy duty wheel cleaner. It's made to "suspend" or cling to the wheels without drying or running off. Longer dwell time = less time scrubbing with it. I just dilute it with an equal part of water, spray it on, let it dwell for 10 minutes, agitate it a little bit with my Swissvax Wheel Brush and then rinse clean! It's a fantastic product. I'm hoping the other beta testers love it as much as I do and it can go live on the site next week.

mmm bubble gum scented wheel cleaner. I want. My wheels always seem to look dirty. Especially the inside, that's ugly... How long would you say a gallon would last the average joe, using it once a weekish, diluted 1/2 with water?

Months, if not a year. You REALLY don't need to use much product. Doing several cars a week I use maybe half a gallon a month. If that.

It should be up on the site Monday or Tuesday!

Neat. This spring I want to buy a bunch of detail stuff because I'm sick of Autozone stuff. This will most likely be included!

Good! Let me know what you need -- I'll recommend what I can. The vendor I linked to is one that I use for a LOT of things.

Probably the major stuff like wash/clay/wax/wheel cleaning/mf towels etc. Interior protectant/tire shine and whatnot I don't mind going cheap.

I want to take it to a detail shop to let the pros do a serious thrashing to get the swirls and scratches out before I get a paint job, then I can maintain it until then.

Live on the site! It's fairly pricey, and it looks like they've changed the label... but if you read the dilutio ratio, it says 6:1!!! GREAT value.

Just ordered another gallon -- stocking up while I was putting an order through. This stuff is fantastic!
