I received my new bottle of Amazing Roll Off from UPS yesterday. I wanted it specifically for my wheels wells and my engine bay. It is a little cold here in ohio so for this review I only used it on the wheel wells. The engine bay will need to wait until the weekend.
As you can see in the before pics I live in Rural Ohio (AKA: Amish Country). So my vehicles can get very messy in a short period of time. I was hoping Amazing Roll Off would help me to clean everything easier and still get a nice shine.

Conclusion:
This product work just like it says. I sprayed it on to the dirt and it's almost like it melted away. It also left a slight shine. Not bad for a spray on cleaner. I would recommend this to anyone wanting an easier way to clean their wheel wells without any elbow grease. I hope to update this post soon as to how well it helps to repel dirt and the ease of future cleanup.
 
Looks like it did a great job. Did you do any scrubbing or just spray and rinse off?
 
Looks much cleaner, although it does look like it needs to be followed up with a dressing.
 
did u dilute it so you dont waste it? lol. 4:1 i guess is a tough enough recipe. i have a 32oz bottle and a gallon i havent used yet. my detailing is pretty much over for this year in north ohio

Nothing quite as enjoyable as cleaning recycled oats off yer wheel wells and rockers. :eek:

I have a bottle I have not used yet. I think the instructions say wet surface, then apply. It is nice to hear it works even diluted.

yah, especially on engines, if the engine isnt that bad, use around 10:1, if its bad, then tray 4 or 5:1...

You are correct, so don't dilute more than what you need at the time.

The water activation thing was what turned me away from the product after a couple of gallons of it.
My first use on an engine compartment was at a 50/50 mix and since it seemed to work fine, I decided that ratio was what I would use for everything.
Mixed up 16 oz. of water with 16 oz, of Roll-Off for future use.
Second use was no where near as effective.
After trying it a few more times on various things, I decided the diluted mixture was nowhere near as effective when not used right away.
After that, I just mixed it as needed.
It was more of a nuisance to have to mix it for each job than I felt it was worth. It seemed like a waste to have to either use it up when it was no longer needed or throw away what was left.
I went back to my Meguiar's APC and don't have to concern myself with mixing a batch for each job. I just have a couple of bottles mixed, one at 4:1, one at 10:1 for different cleaning jobs. Practical or lazy, it works for me. :)
 
ARO is very quick and easy to use on wheel wells and especially on engines. :props:
 
Great product, but a bit pricy for regular use. I use Roll Off now for stubborn items. APC for daily use.
 
I learned about water activation the hard way; I thought you could dilute it a bit since I was about halfway through my bottle and it really cut its cleaning ability. Its a great product though, very easy to use and works without any if's, and's, or but's.
