Green Wheel Cleaner Help

[boltsfan]

Is it safe to spray on and wipe off with MF towel (not spray off with water)?

 

My new Audi Q5 has terrible brake dust on all 4 wheels after driving only a few miles. I would like to be able to wipe down wheels when I get home every day (after they have cooled). I have been using the DS for this but bought the GWC the other day for this purpose. Just got the shipment and read the bottle and am now thinking I should not spray on and wipe off.

 

I beleive the stock wheels are cast aluminum.

 

Thanks!

Green Wheel Cleaner is for your major cleanings, using water, when you plan to use a brush and really get them clean. For 'in between' cleanup I'd recommend using waterless wash and a towel.

 

If you haven't yet I'd recommend taking a look at this chapter of our instructional DVD:

The GWC is stronger than APC, and both should be rinsed after use.

 

Maybe Waterless Car Wash is what you need? It's spray and wipe. The DS will work, but WCW is designed for this.

Another thought, a cheap microfiber dipped in car wash solution to clean them, and another one to dry with.

 

 

Darn, Dylan beat me too it!

How about if I dilute with water (50\50)?

I would think you would still need to rinse due to the strength of the Cleaners. I normally use GWC 50/50 to clean my tires, as they don't get too dirty between washes.

I think you would be fine with DS, but get some cheap MF's for this job.

 

Have you waxed your wheels? MSW or Americana would allow the brake dust to be removed easier.

It simply isn't a spray on wipe off product... you need either detail spray or waterless wash for that function to safely clean your wheels without water.

 

If you're going to use GWC you need to use water to rinse them.

WCW or DS!

Buy some Porterfield R4S pads. The produce much less dust and have a nice bite to them when they get hot.

I'd probably listen to Dylan and take what he has to say to heart. He's the smartest man alive (right next to Mr. Pitale). Dylan has never steered me wrong and I usually do exactly what he says and it turns out how I want it!

 

After all these are the guys who make the product and play with it for months before its released.

Got it... thanks guys.

According to the Adams video the Green Wheel Cleaner is not suggested for use on billet polished alum. wheels. My question is I have a Camaro with GM polished alum wheels, is it safe to use on GWC on these?

[Team Adam's]

Yes, the factory wheels are not polished aluminum... they're a painted finish, clear coated just like the rest of your car, they just call them "polished".

 

Treat them like you would any other painted part of your car and you'll be fine and when they get really soiled clean them with GWC.
