  • CITRUS POWERED CLEANING ACTION: This Chemical Guys tire cleaner uses natural citrus solvents to break down brake dust, road tar, and oily wheel buildup without aggressive acids that can etch delicate painted, polished, or anodized wheel finishes
  • PRO STICKY WHEEL GEL (CLD10516): A heavy-duty citrus-powered rim cleaner gel formula that clings to vertical wheel faces longer than spray wheel cleaners, giving the formula time to break down brake dust and road grime
  • DEEP CLEAN ACROSS WHEEL FINISHES: Use this wheel cleaner spray on painted wheels, polished aluminum, chrome trim, anodized finishes, polished stainless steel, motorcycle wheels, ATV wheels, and OEM factory finishes
  • 16 FL OZ TRIGGER SPRAY BOTTLE: This rim cleaner spray is sized for weekly wheel maintenance on daily drivers, weekend show prep, mobile detailing rigs, and detail shops handling multiple sets of wheels on a busy weekend day

Description

Tackle the worst brake dust and road grime on the wheel face with Sticky Citrus Wheel Cleaner Gel, a Wheel and Rim Cleaner. Sticky Citrus Gel is a heavy-duty citrus-powered, non-acid formula with a thicker gel consistency that clings to vertical surfaces for deep cleaning and wheel cleaning. Where thin spray cleaners run off before they can work, the gel holds in place across the wheel face, spokes, lug nuts, barrel, and rims for extended contact time on stubborn buildup. Natural citrus solvents break down brake dust, road tar, oily film, and general grime without the aggressive acids found in old- school wheel cleaners. That means you can use this non-acid wheel cleaner on painted wheels as an aluminum wheel cleaner and chrome wheel cleaner. Safely works on anodized finishes, stainless steel, motorcycle wheels, ATV wheels, and OEM factory finishes without worrying about etching or staining delicate finishes. Application is simple: spray onto rinsed wheels, let the gel cling and dwell for a minute, agitate with a soft wheel brush or detail brush, and rinse. For best results, pair with Two Face Color Changing Wheel Cleaner to react with bonded iron and brake dust for a complete wheel care workflow.

I usually HATE wheel cleaners - they simply don't work, BUT...
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Style: Sticky Citrus Only
This stuff is the best wheel cleaner that i've used, and I've tried them ALL. I like to sparay a bit of degreaser/All Puprose Cleaner first then apply the Citrus wheel cleaner as well (you use much less product this way). It does the job; sticks to the wheel and creates a nice lather and actually cleans. Great to have in the detail kit... ... show more

Great product

Great quality at a great price. The smell is amazing. Leaves clean shine. Very durable. Can’t say enough about this company.

Best wheel cleaner so far
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Style: Sticky Citrus Only
This product works really well for cleaning brake dust off rims.

Good product - but not fantastic... it's a cleaner like many
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 2) Style: 2 Pack
I have 4 cars and all of them have been well maintained since day one, so ours needs on product are pretty standard - we don't get the wheels heavily soiled with mud or brake dust as we wash them every week or two. This CG Sticky Gel is exactly that: a sticky gel that you spray on the wheels, let it sit for a few seconds, and you'll need to scrub it later with a brush. It does a very good job (for our needs) of getting that mildly rough dirt out (it's a cleaner obviously) but later I have to finish the job with CG Diablo solution and brush and rinse.. What I don't like at all is because it is sticky, it doesn't spray. It will come out as a single shot of product. CG bottle and sprayer have been, at least to me, horrible so I don't expect much of them. They only make the job harder to work on. Will I buy it again? Probably, although I'm inclining on trying other products for that first step. ... show more

How much would you spend on a detailer?
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Style: Sticky Citrus Only
Brake dust is toxic, corrosive, and very hard to remove. If left on a surface too long, it will become permanently embedded. I have the worst combination: aftermarket brake pads, painted aluminum wheels, and city/coast driving. My wheels get far dirtier, much faster than most drivers, and there are only a few options to remove the buildup correctly, without damaging what’s underneath. It is a total B chore to clean, so I wanted something convenient to just spray and wipe. The first time I used this, I had a disgusting greyish brown layer on my wheels, and I had to use a lot of product. When trying to clean difficult areas, I couldn’t get the debris off with the spray alone, because friction from a microfiber towel is needed to lift off the material. If you clean regularly, you really don’t need much. My bottle arrived leaking, but thankfully, it was contained in the vacuum wrapped plastic. Hasn’t leaked since. It projects from the nozzle in a focused stream so it’s hard to cover a large area. Maybe they did this on purpose? If there was a large spray pattern, the liquid solution would just bead up anyway, and the nozzle wouldn’t last as long. The best method I’ve found is to apply it to a microfiber towel, pat it on the surface to soak, then gently wipe off the layers a little at a time. Could be in the instructions, idk. I’ve admittedly used shop rags with it and the clear coat covering the aluminum is still there, for now. Great lubricity, and no streaks on black. The wheels stay clean looking for about a week, even when it rains. It’s worth the price. Eventually I want a similar performer that foams. ... show more

Super sticky and effective
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Style: Sticky Citrus Only
This is a really gooey sprayed. I'm surprised how well it sprays and it does stick to the surface well. Great for deep clean of your wheels. My only complaint is it didn't go very far. I used 2/3 the bottle on one cleaning. That may have been my fault misapplying. But I thought the goal was to spray all surfaces and let it stick ans sit while doing its magic. So I need better instructions on application or this should be used only for an occasional deep cleaning. But it is a great product. ... show more

You're paying for the brand name, Chemical Guys.
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Style: Sticky Citrus Only
I've experimented with Chemical Guys products over the years, and I really haven't been too impressed with them. Such is the case with this item. At this point I believe your just paying for the brand, Chemical Guys. I have Method MR317, painted wheels, and I was looking for a cleaner that would not be harsh or abrasive to the painted surface. Chemical Guys advertised this product to work with my wheels. Here's what I found: 1. The product is definitely not abrasive, and it appears to not harm my painted finish (I've only used the product twice, time will tell). 2. The spray bottle was smaller than I expected for what I paid, and the actual sprayer does not work correctly. There are two options, one for a stream and the other for a wide angle spray. The wide angle spray does not work correctly, and I only have the option to stream, which does not distribute the product evenly. 3. This product definitely does NOT provide any deep cleaning. To be honest I don't know if it provides any better cleaning that just regular soap and water. Yes, it smells nice, like oranges, but I don't care about great smelling wheel cleaner. I just want it to clean the wheels and not harm the finish. I don't believe you get good value for what you pay for here. I believe soap and water work more effectively on painted wheels. The spray bottle is small, and does not function correctly. I will probably go back to my old faithful, which is Simple Green. I can buy a gallon of concentrated Simple Green for half of what I paid for this product, and I can make at least 10 20oz. bottle of Simple Green cleaner out of that concentrated gallon. I do not recommend this product. ... show more

Excellent stuff

This stuff does a great job adhering to the wheels and with a little elbow grease removes all brake dust. Great product.
