Walking through a local store I found this stuff on the shelf. Usually I just pass on by most OTC things but I was intrigued by this one for some reason. After seeing it available on ACC I figured id give it a shot.

(copied from ACC)
Safe for all wheel finishes and the environment!

Dissolves stubborn surface grime and brake dust.

Safe for all wheel types.

Free of hydrofluoric and sulfuric acids.



Eco Touch Wheel Cleaner gives you a brilliant shine on your chrome, alloy, and aluminum wheels without toxins. Many wheel cleaners use powerful ingredients that can damage delicate wheel surfaces and the environment. Eco Touch Wheel Cleaner is free of harsh acids and glycol-ethers. Instead this powerful cleaner uses a combination of biodegradable surfactants, polishing agents, and pH adjusted citrus oil stored in a 100% recyclable bottle. Eco Touch Wheel Cleaner removes brake dust, tar, and greasy residue quickly and safely. Keep your wheels and your planet clean!

24 oz.

Reading the label I noticed that the directions don`t call for the use of a hose or any extra water to rinse. So I like the idea already for those touch up cleanings without having to pull out the hose. Just spray on, let sit for 30 seconds, agitate, and wipe off with a microfiber. Which is exactly what I did. I used a couple brushes and a microfiber along with the cleaner.

And the afters. All I did was simply wipe it away with a microfiber. The results speak for themselves

Im not sure how well this stuff will work on really nasty wheels but in the case of a quick maintenance clean up I really like this stuff. Especially since it doesn`t call for being rinsed away

Nice, thanks. I do these garage touch-ups most of the time, which is why I don`t like Full Effect and so many others. The smell alone would drive me out. This looks promising, and might work better than my typical 1:20 Simple Green.

Thanks for your review. It looks like a great product to use when doing a rinseless or waterless wash.

Thanks for the review. I hear Target is stocking this now. May have to try a bottle. Do you have any protectant on your wheels?

I should of added I did have a coat of poorboys wheel sealant on it. I did have similar results with an uncoated wheel though

Great Review. I have very little posted about the Eco Touch Products. The few reviews on their products have been very good though. The wheel product would be great for winters or garage washes.
