View Full Version : Locally available wheel cleaners (acid free)?
Are there any locally available wheel cleaners other than A2Z? I`m pretty happy with A2Z`s performance on my car`s heavy brake dust, but I`m concerned that it`s too harsh.
I`ve thought about trying some of the online specialty cleaners (e.g., P21S), but I`m having a hard time justifying the shipping cost for a product of which I use so much.

After your first cleaning throw a sealant on there and never use a wheel cleaner again. I just use my wheel mit and wash water after I`ve done the rest of the car.

Will a diluted APC work? Castrol Super Clean? I`m not sure if its acidic though.

My local BMW dealer stocks BMW branded wheel cleaner, which I understand is re-labeled P21S. Not that it`s cheap, but it is available locally.

Harley dealerships sell S100 wheel cleaner, its about 9 bucks and acid free.
CSC and A2Z are acid-free, they are alkaline cleaners. I prefer acids actually, alklaines don`t play nice with polished aluminum.

P21S Wheel Gel is a Guru favorite and it is very gentle on wheels. I use this and A2Z exclusively with great results.

Michelin`s new product can be found at Autozones. It`s very mild.
