I am not one to use wheel cleaners very often as I have first hand knowledge of what the incorrect product can and will do to clear coated wheels. I have a 1993 Corvette with clear coated wheel damage that occurred before my ownership as well as a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a similar story. I also tend not to let the wheels get to bad either.
However, since Ryan was good enough to send me a bottle I thought I would try it. Let me just say my Jeep wheels have NEVER looked as good. I usually just wash with regular car wash soap mix using a detail brush and Turbo stick combo but this weekend I hosed them off, sprayed the wheel cleaner and let it sit and dwell until it started to change color. It took a good while before it started to turn purple. I mean like go get a beer and come back in 5 minutes good while. Maybe the wheels weren’t that dirty to make it activate? Once it was purplish I turbo sticked and agitated the wheels with the brush then rinsed off. Most if not all of the nooks and crannies of these snowflake wheels came cleaner than I have ever seen. The product pretty much stayed where it was sprayed and my only concern is I used nearly half the bottle on these 4 wheels. This is another great product and I think it will stay in my arsenal of cleaning products
