Overall


EASE OF USE


It sprayed on quickly and didn’t smell as harsh as some of the other products but seemed not to stick to the wheel very well.

EFFECTIVENESS


The final results weren’t as impressive as some of the other products we tested but after four minutes’ development time (the guide is 3-5) most of the dirt rinsed away, and a brush got rid of most of the rest. Tougher deposits also required a scrub with a sponge.

VALUE FOR MONEY


Good value for money, but because the solution appeared to slide from the wheel when applied, there’s a risk of waste by applying more than you should.
