Does anyone use Professional Line

[kelvin12382003]

Hi

Long story short, as I often wash my cars, all below products consume very quickly. Therefore, I would like to change to Professional Line (Cheaper BIG SIZE)

Here is my list using Consumer Line:

1. Meguiar's® Gold Class™ Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner
2. Hot Rims® All Wheel Cleaner
3. Meguiar’s® NXT Generation® Speed Detailer (For Claying)
4. Meguiar’s Quik Out™ Carpet Stain Remover

Could anyone tell me what I need to get for professional line (above 1-4)?

Best regards

Kelvin

Hiya
I have had a look as to what there is (this is bearing in mind we have slightly less choice over here in the UK)

1. Meguiar's Shampoo Plus - D11101 - 1 gal. (3726 ml)
2. Meguiar's Wheel Brightener - D14001 - 1 gal. (3726 ml)
3. Meguiar's Last Touch Spray Detailer - D15501 - 1 gal. (3726 ml)
4. Meguiar’s Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner - D10219 - 19 oz. Foam

You will also need some spray bottles some are for dilution. The Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner is only 19oz so check which is more advantageous to you on amount or cost.

Hope this Helps (would also like it if someone could check and correct anything i have said or chosen, as i have found the Pro line products that match the Consumer as closely as possible.

Although I don't have first hand experience with the Wheel Brightener, I'm not sure it would be considered safe for all wheels, so just be careful. I think it can be diluted for different strengths, if I remember correctly. I'm sure someone will chime in with the facts. Just wanted to let the original poster know to proceed with caution with the Wheel Brightener.

D14001 Wheel Brightener


Christian did a really good job of giving you alternatives in the Pro Line, but as TXShine pointed out there is some acid in the Wheel Brightener and you need to make sure of the material the wheels are made out of or the coating on them and use the correct dilution level when you use this product.

Basically you don't want to use wheel cleaners with acid in them on,

Polished Aluminum or any bare aluminum finish
Anodized aluminum
Bare Magnesium

If you're working on chrome wheels or Factory Clear Coated wheels, then you'll be safe as long as you use the correct dilution level, which is 4:1

Re: Does anyone use Professional Line

Wheel Brightener has one dilution level and that is so it doesn't eat through the finish on the wheels it is safe on. It is like Hot Rims All Wheel Cleaner on steroids. I would only use it on the same type of wheels that AWC is safe for (can't remember the list). I wouldn't use it on aluminum or aftermarket wheels. I'm not sure about chrome.
