Darren's Note: I discovered this specific product a short time ago and have now been using it with great success and satisfaction for use in car engine detailing, wheel cleaning, tire side-wall cleaning, and a host of other uses.
I love the fact that it contains no caustic chemicals that are harmful to me or the environment but still incredibly effective. Since I use this mostly to clean my wheels and car engine, I love combining it with the 1-gallon pump sprayer below to deliver large amounts of the chemical that will be needed to effectively clean my car engine and car wheels.
