one of those pump sprayers filled up will be enough for about 4 cars... the products themselves last for ages - both have lasted me about 10 months... and the results are superb... i used it on my car the other day and the dirt just fell off before i washed it

g101 is a good degreaser and safe to use on bodywork etc just water it down a bit.

Id water g101 down a lot has a vey high caustic content. But is a superb degreaser.

Tardis is good, watch your plastic trims though or they will be whiter than a white thing!

Bilt-Hamber Surfex!

100:1 and still does the job    :smiley:

Or you can also try AutoGlym CleanAll, which can be used EVERYWHERE on the car (like G101).

I also like G202, which can be diluted 200:1  :huh:

Bit more up the price range is Megs Super Degreaser.

I have all the above and depending on what I am using it for stick with Surfex or CleanAll.
