Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner and various brushes were used to clean up this mess.

Would be interesting to see a side by side comparison with P21S Gel under the same conditions. I have used both and always seem to come back to P21S. How do they compare in your experience?

Scrubbing?

I have found that the Sonax isn't as good on the OEM GTS wheels as it is on the regular ZCP wheels unless you do some scrubbing.

I've used both. Neither are great on the GTS wheels. I think the finish they use is more porous and the dust sticks to it much easier requiring more work to remove.

I have the Swissvax stuff that I need to get on there. But even so, just feeling the finishes of the two different wheels will tell you that they are not the same.
