Default Mintex Redbox for a few months now

about 90 dollars for front and rear from APR. Brake squeal for the first month, now quite. Performance about the same as stock, and no dust.

Default P21S sucks. Sticks way too much. Get Simple Green and you'll be amazed by the difference...

Besides Simple Green costs only 3.00 at your local auto store compared to the 8.00+ you'll pay + shipping for the P21S.

Wanna say spray on, hose off? This is the true product. Cuts through the grim even on the inside of the rim.

And yes, I used to think P21S was awesome until I forced myself to try other stuff.

Default The big deal about P21S is that it doesn't damage the clearcoat on the wheels

like most other cleaners to. 2.5 years of use (about once per week) and the finish is still good...except for a couple of rock nicks,etc.

This was not the case with other wheel cleaners I've used. Though I haven't used Simple Green on the wheels yet, but I'm willing to go to the extra effort and expense to keep my wheels in good condition.
