Well I received my bottle of Product D today. I put an ounce or so into about 20 ounces of water in a spray bottle. I played around with it while I was grilling some burgers tonight. So far it looks to be a nice all around cleaner. I have to check on some products we have at home, but it has a very familiar smell. I just can't place it yet.
Anyway, back to the testing.. I tried it on various surfaces and it worked well on everything I used it on. I used it on glass, plastic, vinyl and paint. It wasn't quite strong enough on the paint as I did a spot on my hood that had some water spots from today's rain and it left one spot on the small area I did. Hopefully it's not etched in there as I just polished the front of the car. I also used it on a couple spots on my chrome rims that had some brake dust staining. It was very light staining, but regular washing didn't remove it. But this stuff got it off pretty easy with a little light rubbing. I used it on the plastic part that goes over the radiator area on my wife's SUV which was very dirty, and it cleaned it up very easily. I also tried it on a couple areas of chrome on my convertible that is still a bit dirty from last year and it cleaned up to a nice shine.
I really want to do a stronger bottle of it and see what more it can do. One specific thing I want to test is rust staining. Our SUV is starting to rust on the bottom of the hatch, and as a result the plastic piece on the top of the bumper has some rust staining on it that washing didn't touch. I sprayed this stuff and let it sit for a few minutes and then rubbed it with a MF and it started to remove it. I think with a stronger mix it might make easy work of the stains.
Anyway, I just wanted to give a few quick first impressions.
