A new way to get perfectly clean wheels

Cleaning a complex shaped wheel is very dificult. I found the best way to do that is take the wheel off the car, spray it with something strong, brush it down and rinse it off, and do it again, until now. This new product is sprayed on a wheel, watch it turn purple as it removes dirt and oxidation, rinse it off with a hose, and be amaised, The wheel looks deep cleaned and you just had to spray it on. and rinse it off. It will make your wheels look clean as new, like magic.

Amazing Product

Works Amazing!!! There aren't enough words to describe how well it worked for me. I have a 2016 BMW X5 with (Aluminum I think) rims. I haven't done a great job maintaining them, and tried to use a rotary brush on a drill with soap, but there was apparently brake dust stains on the rims, and the brush wasn't doing anything at all. I sprayed the rims (dry) with this product, let them sit for 3 minutes, then I washed them with a hose. I had to run the rotary brush (but any brush would have worked) to get some of the remnants off. There was absolutely NOTHING left behind. The rims look brand new. It was unbelievable. I debated buying the other Meguiars products, but I wasn't sure which one to choose because I'm not absolutely certain what my rims are made of (if there's ... MoreWorks Amazing!!!

I debated buying the other Meguiars products, but I wasn't sure which one to choose because I'm not absolutely certain what my rims are made of (if there's a clearcoat over aluminum or what). This product says safe on all rims, so I went with it. I honestly didn't expect it to work that well, and figured it might take *some* of the stains out. Literally removed ALL stains (and obviously any actual dust). Anyone that gives this a rating below a 5 must not be able to read instructions or something.

Cleans well & does the job.

Works as it should, cleans the wheels quite well. I applied the solution as directed on the back of the back waited the time suggested and saw the chemical reaction where the solution turns a purple colour. 3 of the wheels I did let sit with no agitation with a soft brush and 1 wheel I brushed. The 3 were quite clean with a few spots, the 1 wheel with the soft scrub was better as there were some baked on dust from months of driving. Its no miracle cleaner you can't just spray on and thats that, I do recommend a soft scrub but with out that you will still get a great looking set of cleaned wheels that a shiny just be prepared for a few spot here and there. For the price not a bad job at all. Will continue to use.

Cleans well, but,,,,,,

Decent cleaner, but has a bad odor. Overall did a nice job, but did not remove rust discoloration on my factory alloy wheels. Also, it didn't cut through grease on inside of wheels, had to use Dawn dish soap for that. Overall, wheels looked much better when done, it did get into the crevices and scratches to clean up nicely, but I plan to try another brand next time to compare results.

Currently the best, by a small margin

... for wheels that you care about.Cheaper cleaners can be quite effective too (without iron removal), but also harsh and more likely to cause damage. In the popular premium range (Megs, Bowdens, Autoglym etc), Megs is slightly ahead IMO: it's a larger bottle; is safe and effective; and is available everywhere. Super pricey though - best wait for a sale. It's ph-balanced (hence won't degrade painted alloys if washed off promptly and thoroughly) and has the red-bleeding chemical which removes iron fallout, and hence does a complete clean. My wheels feel smooth to the touch after using this.For cheaper wheels/cars, the "home brand" non-premium cleaners are fine, and are about a third of the price.

I sometimes use those for a first clean on super dirty wheels, to save cost.Nb. the occasionally propagated idea that you can spray-on, wait and rinse off is for people who are as stupid as they are lazy. EVERY wheel cleaner needs agitation to work properly.In fact, if you're doing it properly - (i.e. pre-rinsing, applying, agitating, and waiting a bit), then you don't actually need a lot of product. enough to coat the surface is enough to do the job. Spraying more on is a waste of your money - and your time - as you have to work longer to rinse it all off. If wheels are really grimy, an second or 3rd application is a far more effective approach.Nb. my owners manual says that I should wax my wheels on occasion!... Keep that in mind.If the value-brands come out with a red-bleeding type cleaner, I would switch to them.Anyway, this is my current go-to, for vehicles that I care about.

Do not use this product

I bought this wheel cleaner to use on my BMW's VMR V703 (M3 CSL) rims. I normally don't have a problem manually cleaning my wheels, but thanks to the previous owner's lack of care for these rims, brake dust has built up in the recesses and what normally would come off easily now requires further action. Scrubbing does remove the deposits, but I wanted to avoid scratching the surface so I looked for something to chemically break down the deposits and found Meguiar's Ultimate Wheel Cleaner. I used the product as directed, no pre-rinse, sprayed from bottom to top and had the product rinsed off within 3 minutes. After using this product on one wheel, it now has some phat streaks, it's lost it's deep colour and shine so the clear coat is damaged and after all that the ... MoreI bought this wheel cleaner to use on my BMW's VMR V703 (M3 CSL) rims.

After using this product on one wheel, it now has some phat streaks, it's lost it's deep colour and shine so the clear coat is damaged and after all that the product still didn't remove the brake dust deposits anyway. I washed the wheel twice by hand after that with normal wash soap but unfortunately the damage is irreversible. I cleaned the three other wheels by hand with normal wash soap and they all look great. Having been lucky enough to only expose one wheel to this product I immediately binned it. I wouldn't use it again on my wheels and wouldn't want anyone else to pick it up and use it on their wheels. I can't think of any reason why I'd recommend using this to anybody. Whether you care about your car or not, even when used as directed it causes serious damage to the surface of the rim. This product does a very bad job, you're better off spending the time to clean your wheels manually with normal wash soap which is what I will continue to do from now on. I don't want to see this happen to anyone else's wheels.

It works. Very well. It works very well.

It cleans the wheels. All of them. It's an all wheel cleaner. If you have a wheel, and you put it on there, it will certainly clean it, I tell you what. Kudos, Maguire's, your product lives up to its name.On a more serious note, this works incredibly well as a prep spray on the wheels and tires if you let it sit for a few minutes and then apply a foaming tire cleaner on top of it. It will take care of the decontamination and iron removal, as well as a good amount of the actual cleaning process, and get everything loosened up enough to where a polymer or surfactant-based product (along with agitation using a wheel brush) will be able to take it to a very nice, clean shine. Unless your wheels are absolutely filthy and have never been cleaned before, it will most ... MoreIt cleans the wheels. All of them. It's an all wheel cleaner.

Unless your wheels are absolutely filthy and have never been cleaned before, it will most likely get the whole process done in one fell swoop. If they are that dirty, it will still only take two times through the regimen, which is much better than I can say for most products and techniques. A+ stuff: it performs just as well or better than many products at a much higher price point.

This product is quite amazing, BUT...

... but NOT when used as directed.When following the products directions 3 issues arise. 1) You end up using way, way, too much of the product to achieve only average results. 2) It doesn't allow (or mention) the fact that you get to take advantage of the great suds-ability of the product. 3) You're likely to end up with spotty results because the product only works exactly where it was applied directly.All of these things are alleviated by: 1) LIGHTLY spraying the product around the surface of the wheel hitting the dirtiest areas 2) Use a wheel brush to distribute the product evenly at that point 3) Allow the product to work for the recommended time and then LIGHTLY spritz the wheels with water to activate the bubbles 4) Use a scrub brush to distribute the ... More... but NOT when used as directed.When following the products directions 3 issues arise. 1) You end up using way, way, too much of the product to achieve only average results. 2) It doesn't allow (or mention) the fact that you get to take advantage of the great suds-ability of the product. 3) You're likely to end up with spotty results because the product only works exactly where it was applied directly.All of these things are alleviated by: 1) LIGHTLY spraying the product around the surface of the wheel hitting the dirtiest areas 2) Use a wheel brush to distribute the product evenly at that point 3) Allow the product to work for the recommended time and then LIGHTLY spritz the wheels with water to activate the bubbles 4) Use a scrub brush to distribute the product evenly across the rest of the wheel 5) Then rinse and dry as you normally would.If you do that this product is gold. it still does all of the work all you're using the brush for is to distribute the product more evenly without wasting half of it or just ending up with spotty results.

Works as advertised!

I love the foam and the spray paternal that came with the bottle. It made any brake dust easy to clean with a wheel brush. Quite easy to follow the instructions for the best results. However, the ever lasting smell of a harsh chemical was there for 2 days. The product’s chemical spray smell was an unpleasant and disgusting. I would advise to utilize this product in an open door..
