The carpet cleaner is ridiculous. My full time massage therapist spilled a bottle of oil which turned the green carpet black. I went over it for 10 minutes with the hot steam shampooer and kirby shampoo. You couldn't tell. I diluted this stuff 20x and within 10 seconds the carpet looked new with no scrubbing. I couldn't believe it. I am still at work but will shoot some pics on Tuesday when I bring a camera.

Okay here is my review of Flash : Brown Royal Wheel cleaner.

I did this quickly and didn't scrub at all based on what the man in the video claims. And I have to say overall I was pretty impressed.



Here is my mixture 1:2.5 (1:3 recommended on the jug)



Now the rims that I have on my schwarz car dont match (getting weaves this weekend...don't judge) so I get to try out 2 different types. Plus my silver e30 is up on jack stands and had a rim off it handy to do a test.

So first up is the chrome bottlecap that has not been cleaned in at least a year. These have been on this car since day 1 and I doubt ever given a good cleaning.

Before:



After:



^Again note that is with NO SCRUBBING. Just spray, wait 2 min, then hose off.

Before:



After:



^ Those are actually different sides of the car to show the before after, but trust me when I say they are a lot cleaner.

Finally the silver bottlecap. Before:



After is in the videos.

Silver Bottlecap Video:



All that being said, this should really be used with an agitator brush to get the best results. I was shocked to say the least because I spent 1 hour cleaning one of the other silver bottlecaps with a scouring pad and simple green and got no where near as good of a finish as this. Depending on how bad your rims are, change the dilution ratio, the stuff is pretty strong and shouldn't need much to get your rims clean.

Not that it matters to a lot of people, but this didn't leave a nasty smell or anything. I expected it to smell like death or something close, but while using it, I was pleasantly surprised it didn't.

Overall A+ from me. I have been looking for something like this for a while (not been looking that hard) so thanks to 5toes for making this fall on my lap.

Love this stuff. I dilute 1:8 ish and it takes bugs right off... used it for that purpose on an rv, after I scrubbed an RV

[5Toes]

Ill post pics next time I use it... which should be soon

[Gerta]

Andrew, I ordered a small amount of this stuff ... If I like it I will order more. Do you know if they still are offering the R3V discount?

[eu teo]

yes they do i just placed another order two weeks ago:)

[5Toes]

No clue guys. However... it is so cheap no discount isnt like terrible or anything

[Gerta]

Ordered ... I'll let you know my experiences using this for cleaning my weaves and the how the carpet stuff works out.

[5Toes]

I have only used the carpet stuff once, it worked fairly good

However, that one time I was using it wrong. Forgot to vacuum the carpet before scrubbing it, lol
