Strength:

it foams

Weakness:

everything

this product absolutely did nothing on my factory aluminum wheels, it foamed up thats it, i definately had to wipe down after this, as it did nothing when i hosed it off, it looked the same as if i put nothing on the wheels, thats why i had to wipe of the brake dust on the wheels.

Strength:

Honestly, there are none.

Weakness:

Everything! It doesn't take hardly any dirt off.......brake dust, FORGET IT! i wash my car every week and this stuff still couldn't clean my rims. A complete waste.

Are you serious? This stuff is completely useless. I have used many wheel cleaners over the years, most have been bad, but i really do think that this is the worst. PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PRODUCT.

I have used your product and it dissolves the grime on the wheels but, why does it not take any thing off the wheels. Do you have a product that will dissolve and take off the grime. If so please e-mail me the product list of those that will work thanks.

Strength:

None

Weakness:

DO NOT use this stuff if you have alloy wheels with a clear coat.

This stuff will create a whitish residue on alloy wheels. I have read that the residue is actually chemicals in the cleaner starting to eat away at the clear coat and will eventually make it peel off. I luckily noticed this after the first time I used it so I did not do any damage, I use ot on my moms plastic hub caps on her van just so I can get rid of it. Any brake dust or caked on mud needs to be scrubbed off even when its been soaked with the cleaner, its completely worthless to me. What can it do??????

Strength:

It makes made my factory rims shiny and it makes my new aftermarket rims even shinier.

Weakness:

It works great for normally dirty rims, but it doesnt do much for extrememly dirty rims. My factory rims had baked on brake dust from years of accumulation. I had to get some castrol rim cleaner (which stains rims if you leave it on for longer than 2 minutes) and a wire brush to clean them. but then the turtle wax wheel cleaner KEPT them clean after that.

Its a nice wheel cleaner for a generally well kept car. it makes them nice and shiny like new.

Strength:

Good product if your tires are not especially dirty - i.e., you wash your car every week.

Weakness:

My tires were especially dirty with mud stains and this product did not take it off without scrubbing. Sort of defeats the purpose of having a spray on cleaner.

Good for maintaining tire cleanliness but not for cleaning really grubby tires.

after wasting time with firestone tire b/s. I put expensive micheline tires on. $500 my rims were dirty, I used this garbage, it didn't get the brake dust off, but it turned my new tires brown, the brown doesn't come off, on top of that, I look at it now , about a month later, it looks like the chemicals in this garbage are starting to eat through the rubber. I can't wait for the lease to be up, I too busy to keep bothering with this
