Review: Wolfgang Über Wheel Cleaner

Wolfgang Uber Wheel Cleaner


I was first going to use this cleaner on one of our newer cars, but both those cars have less than 20k miles and the wheels really haven’t seen much abuse. So I decided to use it on my 2001 Acura TL, since getting the newer car the TL has been on the back burner when it comes to cleaning and upkeep. The wheels have not been cleaned properly in 4 to 5 years (minimum) and the barrels never. Car with over 171k miles has seen everything was heavy rain in Florida for 10 years to 2 solid winters of snow and salt here in West Virginia.


I cleaned the wheels couple of weeks ago with Blackfire Waterless, so there was not much brake dust none the less the wheels are still dirty. To clean the wheels I used coupe of carrand brushes, dried with my wheel towels, and applied one coat of Wolfgang Deep Gloss Liquid Seal.


First the before shots, the face of the wheels weren’t too bad just some dust, and junk. The barrels on the other hand are awful, they have never been cleaned.




After the wheels cooled, working one at a time I sprayed the face and the barrels and let it sit for about a minute; cleaned the barrels first then the face of the wheel.

15seconds after spraying

One minute after

After some serious agitation its purple!!!!!



Now that the wheels are clean I dried the wheels and applied one coat of WG Deep Gloss Liquid Seal.






Final Thoughts: I have only used a handful of wheel cleaners and this one is by far the best I have tried. I was surprised how easily it broke up the brake dust in the barrel and that white junk I had on my calipers. My next invest should be a Daytona brush. I was a true believer in another wheel cleaner that was acid based, but with this being non-acid I will be using this 3 to 4 times a year. Also a note on the scent, I’ll be honest I expected it to be a lot worse, I was expecting it to smell similar to iron x. But luckily it didn’t, the smell wasn’t strong and much more tolerable than TRIX or X.
Enjoy and feel free to ask questions

Nice review!

I like the way the product sat and didn`t appear to just run off like so many we see. Another striking characteristic is the tell-tale purple, very similar to Carpro`s Iron-X.

The wheels came out great!

Wolfgang Uber does a really nice job of safely cleaning brake dust from the wheels. It really is a gentle formula that is safe for all wheel finishes while aggressively attacking brake dust and dissolving it.

It`s truly an amazing product. Does exactly as advertised. I have about 1.5 gallons left of it so it might be a while.
