WTB Megs Wheel Brightener

Hi-

I need just enough of the strong stuff to get my winter wheels clean and ready. I don't know how much to deep clean 4 wheels? I don't need a gallon size.



Thanks,
Steve

Man a full gallon is only 15.00 and should be diluted 4:1.
Go here and get the sample bottle. Comes with a sprayer and a full bottle of WB.

Thanks, I though it was 35$, I guess I did not shop around for prices very well.

Dilluted 4:1, will that really clean, or just be equilant to something like hot rims. I am looking to clean all the salt and brake dust from my winter setup. Also, clean my summer tires for storage. What happens if I use it straight, bad for coated rims or tires?

diluted 4:1 it has more than enough cleaning power in my experience, and i would probably never use it straight...

I use it 4:1 and it makes Hot Rims or anyother store-bought cleaner look like babyoil!

I have used full strength before on a 850 BMW that gets only cleaned once a month. Strong but milder than alot of stuff I've seen at dealerships!

I also agree that 4:1 is enough for most jobs. I always agitate with a brush though and some german cars take a couple applications. But all in all, I can't see why anybody would ever need stronger than 4:1. I also don't see how you could do without Wheel Brightner considering the price/product value you get out of a gallon. I clean A LOT of wheels and a gallon lasts me a LONG time!
