    I too use Brown Royal too for bulk. They are nice people and they don`t try to just re-package and sell you a dozen different things. They tell you flat out you can dilute to different ratios to use it to clean various things (carpets, engine, etc). Its good stuff, but I have used it at a 1:5 or 1:6 on wheels and to pull out a few oil stains on my drive way. They recommend a 1:8 for light regular cleaning. I mentioned r3vlimited forums and got a 10% discount.

    Received my Brown Royal from Flash on Friday and I will say that I`m impressed with it, but not blown away. My first impression is that it works a bit better than EO A2Z, plus it`s cheaper, so I think that it`s something that will remain in my arsenal. It`s not a miracle product that will work without a little agitation, but what is? That said, I tried it last night on the dirty wheels on my wife`s BMW which had been Opti-Coated. It immediately turned from brown to black. Sprayed it with the water hose 30 seconds later and the brake dust was completely gone. I`ve never seen this happen before. Since the Opti-Coat was applied the wheels have only been cleaned with ONR and a sponge which worked surprisingly well. Now I see why!

    Your saying acidic cleaners require less agitation? I know the BR advertises non-acid, but I`m sure its probably some kind of alkaline or something.

    BR is alkaline, and no, you still need to scrub most acidic cleaners.



    That said, many times(probably due to amount of exposure) I have little luck with HF cleaners.
