About this deal

We used Clean Wheels on Jaguar Magazine’s XJS. A great car, true, but one with utterly filthy alloys! A) Not in the slightest. While it’s certainly true that improper use of poor quality AWCs has the potential to cause damage, they have also been proven to be ultra-effective at ridding wheels of all forms of dirt and grime. Our own Clean Wheels spray is pre-mixed to optimum strength, easy to use, and is suitable for use on most wheels. Based on our testing, we believe Turtle Wax T-18 wheel cleaner is your best bet for removing any debris, but you should use Meguiar’s G180132 ultimate wheel cleaner for painted wheels and Chemical Guys Diablo Gel for chrome or polished metal. Does WD-40 clean alloy wheels? A) While Clean Wheels is pre-mixed and therefore requires no dilution before use, its acid base means that you should still be wary about using it in really hot weather or immediately after you’ve driven your car. This is because the liquid that forms an essential element in all cleaning solutions is liable to evaporate in hot weather or when applied to a wheel that’s hot to the touch, and this in turn serves to concentrate the remaining acid, increasing the likelihood of it damaging your wheels.

Much like the Halfordscleaner, the CarPlan product uses alkaline action to get your wheels shining, but you need to get a bit more hands-on, because it doesn’t melt away the dirt quite as easily. Perhaps the bigger issue with this cleaner is that it feels a bit too dry. So we added some water (even though the instructions don’t specifyto do so),which made the process easier and more effective. It's not the best cleaner here, but it's still effective enough and good value.a>

The Halfords cleaner doesn’t have the ultimate cleaning power of our favourites, but it’s not far off.We had to get in there and agitate the cleaner in a few awkward recesses to get the best results, and you might even need to repeat the clean on very grubby tyres,butthe alkaline formula is safe on hands and all wheel typesand is kinder to a wheel's underlying metal if it's exposed at all. data-src="https://cdn.media.amplience.net/i/washford/haluk-car-cleaning-spot1-step3-process-winter21-1382x867" One feature of Adam’s Polishes that stood out is the odor, which was much stronger than the other wheel cleaners we tested. It smells very strongly of artificial cherry – not a terrible smell but something some consumers may find unpleasant. A word of warning: As it reacts to the mineral deposits, the acid will neutralize and release toxic gasses right into your face. You want to be using this product in a well-ventilated area with full protection equipment - gloves, eyewear, and a respirator.

For those that are getting into car detailing, the allure is always to go for the cheaper priced products. Acid wheel cleaners fall into this category. They’re extremely cost effective to make, and therefore this gets passed onto the consumer. If you ever found yourself to be in this situation, then the best course of action would be to rinse it thoroughly and also counteract the low pH by using a pH neutral shampoo on the wheel. This should raise the pH of the area, thereby limit the damage caused. What are the alternatives to acid wheels cleaners? Some wheel cleaners can damage the look and finish of your wheels. If you have chrome, painted, or polished-metal wheels, be sure to use a wheel cleaner that’s pH-balanced and acid-free. How do you remove heavy brake dust from rims?
