[Review] GTechniq W2

[Matt@Vivid]

I wanted to post just a short little review of this new all-in-one cleaner that I've been using from GTechniq. I love this stuff, it's so versatile, it's really cheap, and it flat out WORKS.


From the GTechniq website:


"Use the below chart to determine the best dilution strength for your needs.


Engine bays 1:1
Grease 2:1
Wax stripping 5:1
Hoods 5:1
Paint oxidation 5:1
Heel marks 5:1
Grills 5:1
Carpet 7:1
Counters 10:1
Vinyl 10:1
Fiberglass 10:1
Air conditioners 10:1
Driveways 10:1
Tools 10:1
Smoke films 10:1
Alloy wheels 10:1
Cloth furniture 10:1
Leather 10:1
Walls 20:1
Stainless steel 20:1
Outdoor furniture 20:1
Chrome 20:1
Steam cleaning 50:1
Window cleaner 120:1"


So you can see that even though it comes in a 100mL bottle, it'll last you a while at these dilutions.


I've used it with success on cloth, leather, and plastics with great success. I really like this for interior cleaning especially.


So, when I was outside today doing my other review, I noticed the threads on my steering wheel were pretty dingy from the oils on my hands. I decided to take a few shots of me cleaning them up with W2 for you guys. This was a 10:1 dilution, by the way.

Anyway, that's just one example of this very capable and cost effective cleaner. I'd recommend you give it a shot.

Sounds like it is pretty versatile - where are some places to get it and do you have any pics of the container it comes in?

Unfortunately, most of the stuff I used you won't find in many stores. You really have to order most of your better detailing supplies these days. It's readily available at autopia-carcare.com, as well as autogeek.net (they're actually the same company).

Here's an actual product link with a picture. It's just a tiny little bottle because it's so concentrated.
