Review on πŸ”§ Griot's Garage Heavy Duty Wheel Cleaner 35oz - Ultimate Solution for Cleaning by William Stewart

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Great cleaner that needs a better sprayer

I've tried several rim cleaners over the years and this is my favorite. I have a BMW car and they have been known to spit massive amounts of brake dust. Whenever I wash my car, I use it on my wheels. I apply it fairly liberally, wait a few minutes, brush the rims with a Griot Wheel Cleaner (also great) and rinse off. There have only been a handful of occasions when I have had to step back over a stubborn patch of mud. It effortlessly leaves consistently clean wheels. Plus, the residue easily washes out of my driveway. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because of the atomizer. First of all, it's ridiculously tall, which makes it very difficult to find a shelf that's tall enough among all my other car care products. But that's really just a side issue. The big problem is that the atomizer makes the product come out in a very thin stream. Yes, this makes it easier to aim at the steering wheel, but it would be nice to expand the detection range a bit.

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • No effectiveness
