Went to checkers / Advanced today looking for a product to degrease / clean my engine bay - sales rep said try simple green so for $4.95 bottle i did
it comes in a "windex" type spray bottle, and is green with a minty spell - but it's still a cleaner
sprayed it on my car, let it sit for 10 minutes, and simply washed it off with a water hose, loooooks clean!!!!
simply amazing results i'm impressed 5/5

lol^ i would imagine that would be pretty cool to do.....
i remember when we used to run over pop cans and get them to come up the wheel and end up sticking behind the tire so that they would make a loud noise like a dirtbike lol

Ditto on pics. I swear I'd heard the opposite on this product...that it didn't work for S* but I must've been mistaken it sounds awesome

Do you think it would have looked good without scrubbing? My buddy has a car with those spoke hubcaps that are a pain in the ass to clean...If you can just spray it on, let it sit and rinse it off he'd definately be interested

i didn't have to scrub persay, i just used the scrub brush that came with my mr. clean kit, and LIGHTLY brushed it around, no elbow grease at all, if you had a strong waterhose and could jet it i'm sure that would work just as well on the rims

I'll go with cloud on that one...as soon as you spray it on you can see the grease run off. a nice light scrub wouldn't hurt though
