dark1234, was it the past weekend that you used it? Under covered porch I presume?
Could you please update if there's any rust stain on the floor after a few more days. Cuz mine is brushed/stamp concrete and the stain are mainly on the uncovered portion - no roof above. Oh...and the stain wasn't right where I washed the wheels but they're at those places where it didn't drained properly and pools of water accumulate. No stain whatsoever right beneath the porch where I was doing the washing. Also I only noticed it after a couple of days of rain & shine. I'm still uncertain whether it's the Sonax or the IronX that caused the stain (or both) as I was using both at the time. oh....and a question: is your pebble wash floor stained/coated or not?
Anyway, nice bleeding effect. I'm surprised it worked that well without even touching the wheels with a brush. I guess the PW helps a lot, will try it out next time around. Nice review

Nope no covered porch , under the sun but on last st the weather is ok not too hot , the sonax when was was diluted with water so no problem stain . My pepble floor is normal , maybe coated by dirt ( I power wash it annually )
I think yours could be either cement reaction or iron x
Bought the Xtreme Wheel Cleaner too.. I so kiasi and only spray it on wet sponge to scrub and wipe.. very alkaline feel, like Chorox.. my Pekingese were sniffing about to check out the strange odor.. didn't even get the purple effect..
The spray is not cheap le.. despite after 30% .. never spent so much money on a single detailing product before.. 500ml only, retail RM84 !!!
Any chemist here? why it turn purple le?
Sad part is.. after washing.. discover this.. and my heart sank.. like Titanic 3D..

astroboy, it's suppose to be sprayed on, leave to dwell so that it'll react with any presence of iron (turned deep red) and then only you brush/aggitate or rinse off. Yeah....it sure has a very strong smell of ammonia.
I'm not a chemist but from my readings of other forums I got this info:
"the reaction of iron in ammonical solution with thioglycollic acid in presence of citric acid to form iron thioglycolate which is pale pink to deep reddish purple in color."
Whoaaa....and the thread looks like it's still 80% ~ 90%. Hopefully it's just a shallow one and didn't go all the way through the rubber....did it?
yikes! I thought no acid? I only have specific spots to clean.. so will try it again in the coming weekend. The object penetrated my tyre.. sent it for internal patch this morning. RM25 + balancing RM5..
RM30
Even though it's acidic, but it should be safe. Or else Sonax would be in very big trouble already. You just made me curious.....I'll try to get a reading with my pH paper later if got the time.

If you were taught rinseless washing first you'd be asking questions like: why are you wasting so much water, and how do you get around the whole car quickly without waterspots.
