    I would not use this consistantly on the same cc wheels as a go to wheel cleaner, but it does work if you cut it 50/50 with water and let it dwell for literally ten seconds (count it out) and spray off. this is after spraying counting to ten, spraying off. I know the back of the wheels are still dirty I only had a few minutes to play around with it when I first got it.

    Before:

    Other thing about acid is that you have to neutralize afterwards by using lots of water “throughoutâ€, if you use a strong acid it’s best to neutralize with a neutralizing agent or using alkaline.

    Warning to not mix other chemicals with an acid unless you know what you are doing! DO NOT MIX TSP WITH ANY ACID!! Other thing watch out cleaning with an acid on a driveway, the acid will etch concrete; there is a way round this by keeping the concrete wet with lots of water.

    Remember... add the acid to the water, not water to acid!

    If Poorboys Spray and Rinse doesn`t do the trick (which isn`t very often) I use this stuff: TM113 Sterling Wheel Brightener. I get it from my neighbor who run the local Acura service department. They use this on used cars that have neglected wheels. It works very well. I think it`s around $20/gallon.

    You will need to agitate to get those results.





    I acutally just finished up my gallon of EO...or rather am very close. I ordered Wheel Magic`s Spoke Wheel Cleaner last night because I didn`t think the EO was strong enough. I still get dust left over when done on bad wheels.



    I have used the 50/50 mix on most vehicles I`ve done with no ill effects. I will follow with car wash soap, then dry and wax.

    I get it all of the time at Walmart. A2Z right?



    I haven`t used it in years but Chemical Guys made a potent one I used to love. It eat the rubber washers on the sprayer though so you had to rinse the sprayer out after every use.

    I have heard people using decon systems where step`A (the soil remover) is used just to clean as much as possible off and then step B (the acid) to really clean up.` After the Acid step give the wheels a quick clean up with car wash to get the acid off and then done.


    `


    Never tried it myself but those who have liked the results.
