the only thing I don't like about Sonax stuff compared to P21S gel is that it seems to me the Sonax nozzle is much more focused which means I have to use a lot more whereas with the P21S gel it offers a wide angle spray so I don't hav to use too much at all and the P21S spreads out easier around the wheel when agitated. Having said that, the Sonax is much more powerful so I really only use it for heavily "soiled" wheels and use P21S gel for most cleaning.
@germankid93 thats strange because of the sonax bottles ive used, they offer a pretty wide spray pattern. 99% of the time i do not use the spray bottles it comes in though. i use kwazar dual action sprayers instead.
@billhasher that's exactly what I did with it. I just put it in a different spray bottle. but yeah for some reason the Sonax bottle I got shot almost like a straight stream with no spray at all which was fairly annoying, but not too hard to fix.
@billhasher Diablo is fantatic, my car doesnt have performance pads and the dust is really light, diablo works fantastic.............but wont with baked on brake dust......please try the AG Custom!!!! :)
if you let it sit just for 3-5min...no agitation, you should be able to wash it off with a "jet mode" ona regular garden hose and be completely fine! ALSO i do recommend rinsing the wheel more! Sonax has been know to discolor wheels because extra product was not rinsed off!
@Roush20115XR i have tried this, but have found that it depends on the car and how clean/dirty the wheels are. over the winter i worked on a bmw with pretty dirty wheels. i coated them with sonax and let it dwell, then powerwashed the wheels. they did not come out totally clean, so i had to reclean them with brushes. only time i will do no agitation is if the wheels are pretty clean already, and in that case, im usually not using sonax for relatively clean wheels.
havent tried that yet, but i plan to at some point. with using just a garden hose i probably wouldnt recommend doing it, but i have heard from reputable sources that simply blasting everything off with a presure washer works well. i will try it sometime soon and post a video.
Good review! I just bought that same cleaner after watching your video but my rims seem to be a bit too clean to use it at the moment. In a few weeks they need that treatment.

I love the way you work; very quickly, efficiently...and you definitely know your way around those Denvers.
Have you tried this product without agitating with brushes? I've heard a lot of people don't.

Great video. When you applied the wax before the winter did you take the rims off the car or did you apply it while they were on?

@DetailDream yes, i removed my wheels during my winter prep and sealed them inside and out with collinite 845.
