Bilberry Replacement?

Hi guys,

Been using a litre bottle of bilberry for a few months now. Thinking about buying some more but would like a few ideas of other brands. Wheels being cleaned are in good condition & Bilberry is being used at 1 : 10 dilution

Feel free to post up with alternatives.

Thanks

I haven't used the Bilberry but can recommend Autobrite Very Cherry and Espuma Revolution.

Both work well at a similar concentration to the Bilberry

I have been using Bilberry and loved it, but have run out and ordered some Very Cherry as it worked out cheaper and the reviews on here were just as good.

I haven't used Bilberry, but Autobrite Very Cherry is close to unbeatable.

I've just started using Espuma Revolution as I'd run out of Bilberry - can't fault it and it's a strong dilution at 10:1 (I normally used Bilberry at about 5/6:1). I used some yesterday on the Audi's wheels that hadn't been touched this year and the dust ran straight off - impressive.

Another Autobrite Very Cherry fan here, used it at 10:1 on my daily drivers wheels which havent been cleaned for months, and was amazed at the results, shifted all the brake dust, staining and rust spots from the alloys. I was expecting to have to mix up a 4:1 bottle for those wheels, they were that dirty, but there was no need - very very good!
even thinking of knocking up a 15+:1 bottle for my weekend car as I never allow the wheels to get too dirty on that!

Thanks lads,

looks like the vote is fairly evenly balanced between the bilberry, very cherry & the Espuma revolution.

Might try the very cherry just for a change as I have been well impressed with the Bilberry.
