Super Clean on Gunked Wheels (1 Viewer)

Tried it out after seeing some Youtube videos from that detailer guy in Dallas that sounds like Ray Romano. I bought the foaming version at O'Reilly's and below are the results. Not bad as the foam does most of the work, needing some agitation to finish it up.

My only complaint is that there is no spray function on nozzle and just shoots straight using a lot of solution for the job.

A little aluminum brightener will get you similar results. Around $13 a gallon. Goes a long way.

Thanks @NC LX , I'll look for some of that aluminum brightener for the barrels of the wheel that need a good scrubbing.

IMO there is no subsitute for good old fashioned elbow grease, but being old and decrepit has my elbow grease on short supply. I now use these for tires along with a spritz or two of Bleche Wite.

Chuck the drill brush in the drill and spin the dirt away.

I am not a fan of acidic chemicals on coated aluminum wheels. The chemicals get under the corners of the clear coat and corrode the aluminum underneath. I ruined a set of wheels with purple power many years ago. Now I just scrub my wheels by hand with a microfiber cloth and Dawn dish soap / water. If they are really gunked, I'll use diluted Simple Green. If the clear coat is already compromised, I would think about just scuffing and re-painting them with VHT wheel paint.

Bleche White strips the oils from the superficial surface of the tire causing accelerated age. This hasn't stopped me from using it because it also does a fantastic job of cleaning tires. However, I have reduced using Bleche White to every other time I wash my car instead of every time.
