Eco Wheel Cleaner or regular Wheel Cleaner for Sealed Wheels Maintenance Washes

[LSX Maestro]

So I'll have the wheels on my C7Z/ZL1/427 etc. sealed with likely H2O GG or a competitors touchless silica spray. Anyways, I'm wondering about picking up Eco Wheel Cleaner.  Reason being, in a video Adam shows how the Wheel Cleaner eats off protection (Sealant/Wax) when used as a paint decon, and I'm guessing it will do the same thing on wheels. I would want something that would help out with dirt/grime but not strip the sealant off.  Also, current Wheel Cleaner's scent is unpleasant.  Win-win by switching to eWC (Preserve Sealants + Better smell)? 

 

Anyone have any experience?

Im curious about this too. Im probably going to buy a bottle of the new eco wheel cleaner this weekend just to try it out

The Eco Wheel Cleaner is a gentler wheel cleaner that doesn't have the iron dissolving ability of the regular wheel cleaner.  For regular maintenance, it's a great product.  It reminds me of the old "Green Wheel Cleaner." If you're on top of regular washes and such, the wheels shouldn't get too horrible to the point they need to be decontaminated but a few times a year.  And when you do, you'll want to add some protection back on.

 

That being said, the regular wheel cleaner will NOT take a coating off.

I only know of one wheel cleaner that says it does not effect sealants/wax. Mods, please remove if wrong but its by dodo juice. 

 

Eco WC 'could weaken' sealants as I was told in the thread below.

So looks like I'll have to do a cycle...

 

Wheel Cleaner + Seal

Car Shampoo until build up gets bad

I use the eco wheel cleaner and also have the touchless silica sealant. It does remove the protection over time, fairly quickly I would say.

I use wash & wax in a spray bottle for wheels.  It cleans the wheels and adds a bit of protection every wash.

How much do you dilute the wash & wax? Does it remove/lift grime better if stronger/less dilution? I need to start doing this. Right now I just waterless wash on the wheels.

I dilute it a 2 oz to 2 gallons.  When I mix up a bucket for cleaning the truck I fill/refill my 32 oz. spray bottle before beginning the wash.
