    Re: best wheel cleaner you have used

    if you are doing your own car-I would use P21S Gel (Gold Box) to clean them up and then switch to car wash soap and water. If you keep them clean, it will be all you ever need. If you let them go, you will need wheel cleaner.

    If you are doing other peoples cars that have been abused, Sonax FE and P21S should get you there. Also a good tar remover is key as wheel cleaners genreally don`t remove tar.

    Re: best wheel cleaner you have used

    I really like Sonax FE, although Autoglym CWC, P21S Gel, and Meguiar`s Wheel Brightener all have a place in my aresonal.

    As a "not wheel cleaner" Optimum Power Clean is pretty good as well.

    I just used CarPro`s Iron X Paste on really stubborn, late 1990`s BMW M3 wheels that had serious amounts of baked on brake dust... That stuff is ROCKSTAR good.

    I`ve had good luck with AG CWC paired with Iron-X. But once the wheels have been properly cleaned and protected I can use regular car soap and save money.

    Re: best wheel cleaner you have used

    I currently use Muc-Off Wheel Cleaner on most wheels, and then Sonax or Iron X on really bad wheels. I would get rid of Soanx if I could get AG CWC easily since it`s awesome.

    As for Brown Royal, I can`t figure out why people like it. I could get better results with just soap and water(which is what I use on well maintained wheels). I really can`t understand the hype on this product. It`s junk IMO.

    How long did you let the Iron X sit? I tried some on some newer BMW wheels, and it didn`t work all that great, but I only let it sit for about 5 minutes.

    I would say about 5 minutes, I used a older, soft tooth brush to agitate the solution and it worked amazingly well.

    I`ll give the brush a try. I used an old wash mitt and it didn`t do much. I was a little disappointed and rushed for time so I didn`t play around with any other tools. thanks!

    Spray & rinse is the one poorboys product that doesnt work as advertised. Ive tried it several different times, with poor results each time.
