Sonus vs. Z1

I decided to try a couple of Sonus products.......wheel cleaner and glass cleaner after having used Z1 products for the past year or so. I found both
to be superior to Z1. The wheel cleaner got all of the grime off in one shot.....not so with Z1. The glass cleaner left a shine that I didn't notice with Z1. I like!

I have used both as well and agree that they are excellent. The Wheel Cleaner can even be diluted to over 30% with H20 and still be very effective. (Saves you money, too.)

The glass cleaner is nice, too. I still like Einzett, but Sonus is a good one. Good deal, too.

Slightly off-topic, but ...

Can most wheel cleaners be used without stripping Zaino off the wheels?

If you apply the cleaner full strength on a dry wheel, let soak for a minute or two and then scrub off, yes....you will severly degrade your Zaino.

If you wet your wheels first and squirt the cleaner and wipe/agitate and rinse right away then you will find that the Zaino will last quite a while. And the cleaner will still be very effective.

I still REALLY like Einzett Glass cleaner, it's just getting hard to find now that the distributor (Mman Corp.) has pulled the major Internet accounts.
