Could use more fingers! Good product and price

full disclosure: 62 years old You can count on the fingers of one hand how many times I've ever cleaned a wheel. Even if I lost a few fingers. Bought this to clean a wheel on my race car that gets pretty dirty. The price was also an issue. Spray on while stirring with a 2 inch brush, leave on for a few minutes. The color changed and I was a bright purple color all over. Disconnected from hose three times due to other product reviews on iron removal. My wheels need a few cleanings but then I…

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • working speed

Expensive but worth it!

Although more expensive than the alternative I usually use like Black Magic No Scrub, this product works very well. I definitely recommend this for luxury vehicles as they tend to have more aggressive brake dust. Still, it would be nice if Meguiar's allowed you to refill the bottle instead of capping it after you first close it. As a mobile business owner I would really appreciate if I could keep the bottles when I order them as they already have the correct labels. Otherwise a great rim…

Pros
  • Best in Niche
Cons
  • Only available in Black

Very impressed the first time

Bought a 2013 Volvo C30 6 months ago from a very reputable dealer, car in excellent condition. Time spent on detailing (restoration of plastic fairings and headlights, regular waxing, etc.). Until this week I hadn't even noticed how clean or dirty the wheels were (dirty!). Used 4x4 from Meguiar and wow! I am impressed. The wheels and brake drums gleam, a detail not noticed by the ordinary eye until they are clean. My car sits next to my wife's 2018 Subaru, has a lot fewer miles than a Volvo…

The best rim cleaner, but use sparingly

First, it works. It works well. I used it on my 2017 VW GTI wheels which have been maintained since they were new. But they attracted a lot of brake dust and accumulated wax over time. The only thing is that I would use it differently. I used half a bottle on four wheels for a cleaning. Sprayed, left for a while. I then used a brush to stir up the dirt on the surface. I then hosed down the cleaner. Next time I'll apply a slightly lighter finish and spread it out lightly with a brush before…

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Clean

Good but not the best.

If your wheels are cleaned fairly regularly and you don't let the brake dust harden too much after weeks of riding, this product will easily loosen anything on the wheel and lift it off with the hose, no cleaning required. But I've used other brands of similar products to dissolve "color change" brake dust and this one is pretty weak in comparison, probably because it's diluted to give you more product in the bottle than the competition. . So if your wheels get really dirty you might be looking

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • old

very impressed best in tire and rim care

I've been using a PVD coated aluminum rim cleaner for a few years but with my new car and its black rims I was looking for something different. As a fan of Meguiar's products, after doing some research I decided on the Ultimate All Wheel Cleaner. The bottle is larger than expected (32 oz) but fits comfortably in your hand and allows you to fire a powerful jet. I applied it fairly generously (4-6 sprays each time) on dry bikes and let it sit for a few minutes. I cheated a little by using a soft…

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Some little things
