Default Disapointed of P21s Gel Wheel Cleaner...

I've tryed P21s Gel Wheel Cleaner for couple a days ago...

I spray it on my rims and waited 20 minutes before i spray it of with clean water.
The Gel Wheel Cleaner have big troble with removing some dirt.
one spot i easily removed with my finger though...

actually it seems Amazing Roll Off do the job equal or better than P21S...

My rims is not very dirty, so i think is little weird that P21s dont remove all the dirt.

Maybe i just do it the wrong way...?

I have tried many wheel Cleaners that is stronger then P21s...

Is it someone her which have experience the same thing, or is it just me?

Acidic wheel cleaners are spray on - rinse off, the acid does the cleaning

P21S Wheel Cleaner 100% acid free-methodology; spray on, allow to dwell, agitate and then rinse off.

The only (non-acid) wheel cleaner I've used that's come even close to it's cleaning ability is Menz [but I must say the P21S Red blows everything else away]

But instead of use P21s Gel Wheel Cleaner and wait long time before removing it, is it not better to use 2 minutes to wash the rims with water/soap/sponge and save alot of time and money?

As togwt says its not a spray on rinse off product, It does need to be worked in with a brush for the best results.

Clean your wheels with P21S gel wheel cleaner. Spray it on, let it dwell, agitate with a soft brush, rinse. Dry your wheels. Then seal them with a polymer sealant. Then just use soap and water to clean them (will be easy).
