no I think it works vey well, and I only use the s100 (repacked p21) from harley davidson for 9 bucks a bottle. It definitely is a lot better than simple green. Did you read the instructions? You need to let it sit for a while if you really want to see how great it works.......

I think its the best wheel cleaner ive used by a long shot, and my bro and pops agree.

Personally I let it sit, and then spray more on while cleaning them.

yeah I let it sit for almos 20 minutes in my garage. Simple green is a lot cheaper and it does the same.

What he said
gel version is good for very soiled wheels but you have to give it time to work in the wheel.

you dont have to let it sit over night! (I dont think you should either)

I normally spray it one before i start washing my car, and by the time im ready to rinse, everything that it came in contact with is clean. ITs not a bad idea to use a soft wheel brush on it just before too.

Ive used a lot of different cleaners and P21S was by far the best, and so far no strange discoloration on the wheels or anything like that.

If you wan to get a better deal buy the 5L jugs, rounds off being cheaper than buying the smaller ones.

It's EFF ING AMAZING. I just used it for the first time last week, only let them sit for 20 minutes, it removed all but the most caked-on asphalt-cemented bits. A quick wipe with the included sponge removed it all but the asphalt, gotta clay those off. I was amazed, except the 16oz bottle gel is about 75% done after 4 wheels. Maybe I used too much? I gel'ed the hell outta 'em. Good thing I bought the gallon refil jug.
