Wheel Cleaner?

[wu56Shoozz]

What do you detailers use for cleaning the wheels - I've used the last of mine and on the market for some more, but not an acid type (If possible) so let me know what you use please??

I rarely use a wheel cleaner, generally just a mitt and car shampoo does the job. That said, Sonus Rim Bright is good stuff.

Give it a spray, agitate using a soft detailing brush then rinse if the wheels are really dirty. Then a final wipe with a wash mitt. Job done.

I've been using it for about five years I found power washing it off best

yes, just water then wheel sealant and tyre shine

Mostly as above but this if they're particularly bad

I use the Autoglym stuff )non-acid) which is pretty good, for old wheels I have to revert back to something tougher and acid related like wonder wheels, at least for the initial wash., once cleaned and sealed most of the time soapy water does the trick, no cleaners needed.

I used to use this Sonax stuff but it smells that badly I stopped. I now just clean them with the same stuff I clean the rest of the car with, which seems to work for me.

I have nearly a full bottle of Sonax if you want it John?

+1 You can dilute as required and works really well.

Jesus, Wonder Wheels is like spraying sulphuric acid on them

I've always used Bilberry, as above. Most of the detailers use it.

Yeah I find that WW can exacerbate any scrapes where the wheel has been kerbed - it gets in under the paint and corrodes the alloy.

I use this stuff - its cheap and it works OK

A lot of folks dont get on with Bilberry but its a bit of an Emperors Clothes product - 'how dare you criticise it' etc.

Pretty well all of the red bleeding effect cleaners smell of rotten eggs as that's the aroma of the active ingredient, though the Kenotek Wheel Cleaner Ultra isn't bad at all with its pleasant pineapple fragrance. Its good value too at £14.99 for 1 Litre.

I'd always recommend sealing the wheels once clean so a wash over with your normal shampoo and old sponge/mitt/brushes will do the job. I have used Race Glaze Nano Wheel Sealant for about 4 years, lasts well, goes on/off easily and at 9.99 for 250ml is good value - my bottle is still half full.

What I did today, put some Megs shampoo in a spray bottle with some hot water

Spray on , clean with a wheel fibre brush and then spray of with a pressure washer
