I saw the tags on the bottles today at WalMart for the first time. It says it changed the formula to make the chemicals cling longer to the wheel. That can only improve results I bet.
I have a bottle and will try it soon if the weather gets better here in Georgia. It has snowed twice today!
That is good to know. I bought a bottle over the weekend and ripped off the display tag without reading it figuring it was a $0.50 rebate or something. Now I want to give it a try.

How does this product compare to P21S gel wheel cleaner? I currently use this and love it, but it can`t be bought OTC. Is this A2Z comparable?

NEW-
Quote:
Acid free
Dissolves brake dust
Spray on, hose off
Also works on tires
WARNING: Do not use on non-factory painted wheels, motorcycle wheels, and some anodized wheels.EOQ
It would seem that it is no longer as acidic, they used to state-
Quote: Be sure wheel surface is cool, or cool with water. Spray cleaner on and allow to soak for 15-30 seconds, depending on density of dust and grime. Then, just hose of. EOQ
BlackSunshine- P21S is considered one of the `best` wheel cleaner and its 100% acid-free (all I will use for wheels)

Anyone ever compare this to megs hot wheels? When i used to use an acid cleaner that was the best one i found.

Couldn`t you just buy S100 wheel cleaner at a Harley store? wouldn`t that be the same?

I don`t usually use wheel cleaners that often (just soap) but when I do I will ONLY use A2Z.
Was the old formula acid fee? The main reason I don`t use wheels cleaners that often is b/c of the acid. I just assumed they all contained it. This is great news, I hope it works as well!

I suppose, but there isn`t a Harley dealership in my hometown anyways... plus the S100 wheel cleaner only comes in a pretty small size. I go through the stuff really fast on the Z06 with its brake pads that shed like a chihuahua :rolleyes:

Yeah, the S100 wheel cleaner is the same as the P21S GEL wheel cleaner (P21S offers wheel cleaners in Gel form and liquid form, the Gel is better IMO). The local Harley place here charges either $9.95 or $10.95, can not remember. Either way it is still cheap seeing that the P21S gel cleaner is about $17 before those ever annoying shipping charges.

L33 - Do you mean Meguiar`s Hot Rims Wheel Cleaner?
I`ve found that it performs about the same as A2Z. BTW a number of Meguiar`s products are on sale at Pep Boys this week including NXT. Some EO products free also (including A2Z) if you buy the 32 oz. Wax-As-U-Dry. Just happened to notice this in the flyer.

The size really is not all that small at 500mL, that is equal to 16.9oz. Most other companies like Pinnacle and 4*, who make really great wheel cleaners, cost $5 more before the shipping and come in smaller 16oz. bottles. BTW a little of these cleaners goes a long way on well kept wheels, you should need no more than 3 or 4 squirts per wheel.

" BTW a little of these cleaners goes a long way on well kept wheels, you should need no more than 3 or 4 squirts per wheel."
Very true. If you use Poor Boys Wheel Sealant even more so.
BlackSunShine, you should try the PB wheel sealant on the Z06. I know this will work since it works well on my friends 3 and 5 series Bimmers which also "shed like a chihuahua".

I used some of the new A2Z last weekend. IMHO it works better than than the old formula. And it seems to work well on the tires, too.
BTW, BMW dealers sell BMW branded wheel cleaner in the Parts Dept. AFAIK, it is P21S wheel cleaner. But it is expensive.
