Title: G101 neat?
Post by: Lee GLS on September 16, 2012, 08:45:37 pm
Right I've got some g101 to try, but does anyone know if I should (or if bosh does?) dilute it now rather than using it neat from the sprayer?

Oh God don't say Bosh watered the stuff down as well as charging four times the price  :o

My guess is that the reason it is squirted directly on the brush is because it was neat - could stain the glass if sprayed on to soak maybe?

That's what I'm worried about, and as bosh used it neat, I wondered if he may water it down a little, to cover him self so as not to stain the lass.

gold did a good post on it, he has actually used the stuff in a big way, if left to soak it can become sticky but he did use it neat when needed and I would imagine if you are using a flow straight away it will be fine

is this really what Bosh uses ??

Autosmart G101 is a highly concentrated multi-purpose cleaner, and should thus always be diluted to an appropriate strength before use. For general cleaning duties it should be diluted 30:1 (water:product), while for more intensive degreasing duties it should be diluted 8:1 (water:product). Autosmart G101 may also be used for wheel cleaning and synthetic sealant removal duties; in such cases it should be diluted 5:1 (water:product) and spot tested before use. In all cases, an appropriately diluted solution should be sprayed directly onto the surface to be cleaned and then agitated thoroughly with suitable detailing brushes before being fully rinsed off. Ensure that you never allow Autosmart G101 to dry out fully before it is rinsed off, otherwise permanent staining may occur.


Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.....

go look at his 5 litre container on ebay, then google the description on the container ;) there is loads of other checks I did as well, but word for word they are one in the same item, I could be wrong of course :-\ up to you to take your chances

It's certainly the stuff I used on a building cladding clean.

so despite claims that it does not stain like TFR - it can ??

i'll get some as it looks a little more potent than virosol altho i can leave that on to soak with no worries if it
dries on.

cheers
 for the info chaps

I don't let any hard surface cleaner dry on glass, especially any that contain sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) which according to the spec sheet supplied by Bosh, Magica One Go does.

If G101 is the same, then the same applies.

 same here, also even if applying diluted to cladding and flat surfaces always apply from base upwards, if you apply from top then you have a chance of getting run marks that can be very difficult to remove

I would say that Bosh diluted it down 8:1 and sold it that way....

Coz if you then put it on neat.... It is the recommended diluted rate of G101 and therefore he will be covering himself.... Also it means he makes more profit too...
