    Wel my order came from CMA and the first thing I tried was the wheel cleaner. I own a new Ford Expedition and this thing produces brake dust like there is no tomarrow. I can clean them and they will have a layer of dust from one day of driving. If I go a week the front wheels are black.

    The last time I cleaned the rims was a week ago so they were black. I followed the direction and wet the wheels with water. I sprayed the cleaner on the rim and tire, let it sit for 20 seconds and the took a brush to agitate the cleaner. After scrubbing with the brush for about 30 seconds I rinsed of the rim and tire and there was still brake dust on the rim and there was a strange white ring around the side wall of the tire. The white lettering was also not very white. I had to do a second application to remove all the break dust. I used EF Hi Intensity on the tires and the white letters were now nice and white At almost $9 a bottle I would have a hard time recommending this product if you have a car that produces alot of brake dust. I will be going back to using EF Hi intensity as my tire and wheel cleaner.

    It has been a week since I applied the Black Fire tire gel dressing and with all the rain we have had the tire still have a nice satin black shine to them. This product I really like. Next time I will order the EF version of it becaus it is alittle cheaper per ounce.

    I`m never a fan of wheel cleaners. Either I use EFHI dilluted or P21s. But for the most part I use car wash soap and water. Since you have so much break dust you should try Wheel Wax. I can`t say enough good things. It will cut down on the amount of dust and make clean up a breeze. Just use car wash soap and water.
