Autoglym Custom Wheel Cleaner, 500ml

Here's a weird thing about the visual impression a car generates: clean wheels can make all the difference between your car looking pristine or scruffy. If you're hoping for the former, you need to try this Custom Wheel Cleaner. Absolutely perfect for all alloy wheels [don't forget the disclaimer! Try a small amount on the inner rim of one wheel first...] this powerful cleaning agent eats into brake and road dust, grime and dirt, helping to dissolve caked-in residue and lifting it away from the wheel surface.Best applied with a small, stuff wheel brush [supplied in the kit] and then left to soak in, experience suggests that the best way to apply this is as a first step, before washing the rest of a car. This allows the active ingredients to get to work on the dried-on brake dust more readily. Leave for 5-10 minutes [i.e. the time it will take you to work round all four wheels of your car] then rinse of with clean water [*gentle* hose pressure - you won't want to jet-blast the dirt across paintwork...] and check to ensure nothing was missed.For best results, once the wheels are clean to your satisfaction, seal them with Autoglym Wheel Protector, https://www.amazon.co.uk/Autoglym-Wheel-Protector-300ml/dp/B00VKB3V3Q/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1465117744&sr=8-3&keywords=autoglym+wheel, which basically provides a protective film over the lacquer of your wheels. This is remarkably effective at stopping future break dust build-up, making future use of this cleaner easier, quicker and more effective.Plus Points1. Extremely effective - really very good at lifting away the brake dust and grime from alloy wheels.2. This is a complete kit - supplied with all you will need.3. Parnered with Autoglym Wheel Protector spray, will give you long-lasting protection for your expensive alloys..Minus Points1. It is a little expensive2. The supplied brushes are useful, but no good at getting behind spokes or to the inner rim surface. Use a dedicated wheel brush for best results.

Doea a great job done once tyres still looking good after two weeks . Make sure your tyres and brush cleaned first .

Tired of my alloys looking only slightly cleaner after a jetwash and scrub, decided to give this product a go as AutoGlym was recommended by our local dealer for our car.It's pretty easy to use if you have your own spray/jetwash. Simply spray what you can first, apply the spray to you wheel -FROM THE BOTTOM UP- as per the instruction on the bottle, leave it for a little bit, 'coax' off any stains with the provided paint-esque brush and spray again. I have to say it's cleaned up better than it's been in the 2 plus years I've had the car, and even removed some quite stubborn brake disc dust stains with relative ease. Also, it seems to have left a 'shine' on my alloys...noice!Loses 1 star as it is on the expensive side and with you having to do each wheel individually it can be a bit of a pain and pretty time consuming if you had no jetwash of your own and had to use the local garages' spray, you'll definitely annoy quite a few people!

Really good product works well on stubborn staining

I have some wonderful, painted alloy wheels, but they are so fiddly to clean. Too many nooks and cranny’s! This stuff, def helped loosened the brake dust, and made it easier to wash it off.I like this as its alkaline and not acidic, so doesn’t long term, eat away at the wheel emblem in the middle. The last lot i bought from another manufacturer, started to turn my VW emblem white. I was told it was the acid, acting on the aluminium disc. This stuff has never done that. May not be the cheapest, but it works well. Just bought more, as this doesn’t damage the alloys, but you have to add a bit of elbow grease, but wheels look smart after the effort.

Can’t beat Autoglm products, does the job really well on removing brake dust and easy to use.

Love this product, hubby uses it on the car windows, I use it on windows/glass in the home - perfect!

Have used in painted, diamond cut, and wheel trims - effective yet not abrasive in my experience. Spray is quite direct though, a mister would have been better as the bottle doesn’t seem to last that long. Hence 4 rather than 5 stars.
