Owning a Porsche, BMW and Volvo Polestar has been a challenge for a OCD afflicted owner. Brake dust seems ot be in European car manufacturers DNA. Ceramic coating is ineffective, you are in a battle to constantly get as much off as possible with the least amount of contact with the wheels ot prevent scratching and damage, I have used SONAX products for a decade and found them to be effective and as described. Now let's get this out of the way, this stuff STINKS. If stink level was the parameter to effectiveness there is a reason why your wheels get clean. After spraying on I usually leave on for 5 minutes until it has turned completely purple and will rinse and use very little agitation to get the wheels very clean. The G89 M3 has these very complicated wheels that if I did not have the SONAX I would spend 2 hours on wheels alone. The Porsche wheels are a little better and the Volvo wheels are just a nightmare because there is little room for your hand. Again the SONAX helps with that by spraying in the small gap between wheel and caliper.

I bought this on a whim. Admittedly I was quite skeptical and did not take before pictures to compare. I wished I had because the differences were quite drastic. I just expected this to be a cleaner spray like what you’d use to clean the dining table. Instead it really is a no-scrub cleaning solution. The key is to follow the directions. The directions says you should apply to dry wheels, not wet ones. I think a lot of people who complain about its effectiveness didn’t read or follow the directions. I was expecting to spray and then scrub with a brush but after spraying and waiting 5 min, I literally just rinsed it with a hose and most of the debris came off. It’s NOT just a spray cleaner. It has some sort of chemical reaction that dissolves iron and other dirt. The instructions says it turns purple when it comes in contact with iron and it really does. On the brake rotors and pad where there are lots of iron filings, it turned purple immediately. On the aluminum alloy rims, it only turned purple on dirt stains I had a few obvious stain splotches on my wheels and after spraying them, they turned a deep purple. After 5 min I rinsed it away and they were gone without any scrubbing! The only small issue I see with this is that the bottle is quite small. It is much smaller than your normal spray cleaners. I used this on both my cars and it’s was 2/3 done. I probably have a total of 3-4 car applications in total. For about $16 it’s a bit pricey, but at least it works. Better being pricey and working, than being pricey and does nothing!

I have used this product for several years now, and it works well. Best to spray on and let it sit for five minutes or so so that the chemical process can do its thing. Generally rinses off clean, but some wiping is inevitably needed for a completely clean look. It's a bit pricy, and the bottle goes pretty quickly, especially if you have more than one car.

This is by far the best wheel cleaner I've ever used. I've used both Meguiar's, Mother's and Chemical Guys. They all worked decently, I tend to prefer the Meguiar's Hot Rims over the rest; however it doesn't come close to how well this works. With 4 piston brembo calipers and hawk hps pads, my Evo's brakes spew out a TON of dust onto my wheels. It's a constant battle to keep them somewhat clean. If I let it sit on there too long and gather more road gunk, it was impossible to get off with Meguiar's (or anything else) alone, and would require scrubbing (sometimes with a harsh/dangerously hard bristled) brush. Not anymore! This cuts through caked on rims even after a couple months of horrible neglect. You might need to use two passes with it, depending how hard caked the gunk is. My advise is: -First spray the wheels with my meguiars soap and pressure wash them to get off as much as possible before applying this. -If you have a light cleaning (usually less then a couple weeks for my car), then you can get by with spraying two rims at a time. If you're going to have to scrub some of the gunked on mess it's probably best to do one rim at a time. Spray your rim(s) generously getting in your inner rim if possible, your lug nuts, etc. -The liquid will come out kind of greenish and then turn an orangish/redish as it breaks down brake dust. It has a very strong (like cat urine) odor that you just have to get used to. -Let it sit on there for a couple of minutes (usually don't want more then 5). You don't want it to dry on the rim, although having accidentally done this - it washed off no problem. -If it's a light cleaning you can probably get by with just pressure washing it clean at this point, although to make sure you get all parts of the rims I usually go over it with Griot's Garage 15704 Micro Fiber Wheel Wand, (Pack of 2). If the caked on mess requires harder scrubbing I'd recommend something like autogeek's "speed master wheel brush". This bottle usually last about 16 individual wheel cleanings. It makes it the most expensive option out there, but by far the best and safest! It is acid free and ph balanced, and is specifically designed to be safe on all rims. I use this on BBS, Enkei, and WedsSports rims that cost over 1000-1500/per, all the time. I have no worry that this can in any way danger them. A lot of other products out there can be a hit or miss, and especially if you have refinished rims it can be very risky. My BBS are refinished and so far this has not worn it off or damaged them whatsoever. If you're looking for a bit cheaper solution, there's Sonax 230500 Yellow Wheel Cleaner to use as a refill. You can also checkout autogeek, depending on their sales, coupon codes, and shipping situation - you can usually find a better deal there.
