Wheel cleaner... - Tom - 04-11-2014
Want to clean the inside of my wheels so i can seal them and hopefully keep them clean, what do we reccomend to remove 10 years of burnt brake dust off the wheel?!
RE: Wheel cleaner... - John1.4 - 04-11-2014
i would say i'll lend you some of mine, but i think i'd catch some hell if work knew i had it tbh
i used to use this though... spray on, leave 5 mins, wash off, give a scrub if you like but not really needed

I've used the AG Clean Wheels, it does the job but it's not the best out there.
Iron X fallout remover is decent but Wonder Wheels HOT is £4 in morrisons atm, I'd go for that if I were you. And it bleeds which is always novel

Wonder Wheels is acidic so not for regular heavy use. For a major clean it's great though. I fancy trying the Bilt & Hamber stuff though:

Clean them with WW, seal them & they won't need regular heavy cleans, a sealed wheel cleans so easily. I barely touch mine after sealing them 4 months agp, pressure washer washes any dirt off!
RE: Wheel cleaner... - Tom - 04-11-2014
Yeah i just want something for a big clean before i seal them. Then hopefully they wont require much to keep clean after that.
RE: Wheel cleaner... - 1616six - 04-11-2014
In that case Wonder wheels at £4 is the best bet

We use some auto smart stuff at work and its pretty decent. Gets most of the brake dust off that has been on there for years
RE: Wheel cleaner... - Jiffy - 05-11-2014
Aye, the Smart wheels stuff is very good. It's also ace at removing dried up vegetable oil too! If you spill a little when filling up then it makes a right mess and dirt sticks to it. Just spray on some smartwheels (10:1 ratio will do fine) and pressure wash off.

Smart wheels is the daddy tbh. 3 to 1 regular use or use neat to clean up years of ming. Our mini wheels were never cleaned on the back in 4 years, this brought them up a treat
