CAR GUYS Wheel Cleaner | Effective Rim and Tire Cleaner | Safe & Versatile Brake Dust Remover for Alloy, Chrome, Aluminum Rims, White Wall Tires, and More! | 18 Oz

I bought my car about 5 years and 113,000 miles ago. When I received it, it was detailed to the nines. I'm the kind of guy that uses a car, takes care of the maintenance, but only washes it when it rains for the most part. I had noticed the wheels had gotten a bit dingy over time. I bent one rim for the third time and found it easier to just buy a use done for $150 than pay $160 just to repair an already beaten rim. It arrived and it was shiny! The other three were woefully inadequate compared with this one. I had to do something because it now looked really weird having one nice, shiny rim and three trashy looking ones. I did the online review thing and found one review that rated this one highly. It wasn't the first. It wasn't the second. It was the third, but the pricing was in my budget (about $16 on Amazon). I bought it, tried it out on my bent rim to make sure it wouldn't do any damage. Worked OK, but I did a quick and dirty. The weekend came around, and I did a proper cleaning. The first wheel came out just good. By the time I hit the second, I realized that I could go for a second application and put some elbow grease behind the microfiber towel. Holy crap! This thing looked almost brand new! The only thing is since I neglected the cleaning for so long, some brake dust and maybe metal shaving are now permanently embedded in the clear coat. From a distance, they look great. The bottle I bought handled all four wheels front and back with some to spare. I am VERY pleased with this purchase. These Tire Guys have my vote.In the images:1) Detail of the crud embedded on the dirty wheel2) Same area from the first detail3) New shiny wheel installed on the left, same condition as image 1, 'dirty' wheel on the left4) New shiny wheel on the left, dingy on the rightPut an hour in your driveway into this (with the wheels off the car is much easier), and you'll be pleased with the results.

I tried the wheel cleaner and the results were great. Brake dust came off quickly and the rims look new. Follow the directions and let the spray stand on the rim for 10 minutes then use a brush to remove the brake dust. The spray does 90% of the work. Hope you are as pleased with this product as I am!

Works ok. For the price however, Sonax is the way to go; for about 2 bucks more you get a product that requires absolutely NO EFFORT to remove brake dust. This product doesn't even clean the tires that well. I scrubbed for a few minutes and they looked more brown for some reason afterwards. Did ok on brake dust.The only positive for this product was the smell. It did not have the harsh smell most cleaners have, it was actually pleasant to use.And i'd also like to mention, this company will hound you every day in your email to leave them a review. This is excessive and frankly quite rude. Well, here's your review you wanted.**UPDATE** The company contacted me and made things right. Great customer service. I hope that the product will continue to be improved. As a result, I am restoring two stars to my original rating. It is well deserved.

My '95 Miata M Edition is equipped with factory 15" BBS "basketweave" wheels. Other wheel cleaners get them "sorta" clean, but brake dust and dirt linger in the cracks and crevices. In addition most acidic cleaners can leave a white residue on the clearcoated aluminum outer rims that needs to be polished out. The result? It takes the better part of an HOUR just to get the wheels clean... and that's on a car that gets driven three or four days per week and lives in the garage otherwise.Enter Car Guys. Yes, this stuff is spendy. And no, it's not perfect (more on that later). But it Just. Plain. Works.Application is easy. Car Guys has a thick gel consistency that stays where you spray it. Just spray the wheel with the cleaner, let it sit five minutes and agitate with a soft brush (I use a long wheel brush for the inside face of the spokes and a big soft handled brush for the wheel face). Rinse thoroughly. For stubborn stains or heavy buildup agitate the offending area again and rinse. To stop any water spots I blast the wheels with compressed air after washing to dry them off.Since Car Guys is a gel, it really sticks to the wheels. That leads to the main challenge, which is getting it ALL off the wheels. You can't just hit the wheels with a low-pressure stream of water and expect it to come off easily. A high -pressure nozzle on a garden hose just about does it, but a pressure washer does a better job.My wheels look better than they have since I've owned my car. It takes less time to get them looking good. And getting every bit of dirt and brake dust off means that subsequent cleanings are quicker and they look better between cleanings. That makes Car Guys a winner in my book.The pictures attached are of my 26-year-old wheels after cleaning today. They really do look that good!Update... I bought this stuff back in May. It gets used every two weeks on my Miata (my daily driver has easy-to-clean wheels so I save the good stuff for the BBS wheels). I'm just now ordering another bottle. When the manufacturer says you don't need a lot they really mean it. A little goes a long way, and it still does a great job on my wheels without attacking or otherwise damaging either the painted or clearcoated sections. Great stuff!

This product is amazing. These white spots have been on my rims for months and they weren't going away in the carwash. Just follow the instructions and make sure to scrub really well. I’m very pleased with the results!

Works well, but the spray bottle is hot garbage. I got less than 1/8 through the bottle on its first use when the nozzle clogged up and would no longer spray. I'll be using another brand from now on.

Had a small problem with the spray nozzle and let me tell you I have never had such good customer service immediate responses. Asked to see if I could get a new nozzle and they’re shipping me a whole new bottle. What more can you ask for BTW, the product is excellent it removed stuff off my polished aluminum wheels that other cleaners would not touch!

I have tried every wheel and tire cleaner on the market and by far this one works the best!
