Just like you, I see this Facebook reels where they show these amazing products that turn a 2 hour job into spray and wash off and its new. I’ve tried a couple, with various results, rarely great.
***WARNING*** this is an acid of sorts, and if you manage to get this product on your skin (especially splashed on your face) It WILL burn and you’ll rush to the shower.
It is designed to be a mix of this product and water. 15 – 1. I did not follow these rules. It if quite corrosive.
USE WITH CAUTION!

I rolled the dice, and wow, I’m impressed.
My 96 Impala has factory alum wheels, and after 30 ish years of brake dust/grime/etc They dont look great. Typical soap and water and a pressure washer would get SOME of the ick off, but still a LOT of it really baked on there.
The before(s).. This was cleaned agressively with soap and water and a pressure washer.
The After(s) – This was just a spray, let it sit for 10 mins, and spray it off! I’m really impressed. There is clearly some etching from years of abuse , but wow, almost ZERO workm, and they look really good. I’m sure another treatment it could be damn near perfect.
