Re: Wolfgang Tire & Wheel Cleaner - Review and How-to
Wow, just think only 3 left to do!! I hate cleaning wheels. I have spoke design wheels and it drives me nuts. I keep them sealed to make it easier. Anyhow, the only gripe I have with the WG is that it's pricey. I know it cleans both wheels and tires but Megs All Wheel cleaner is hard to beat for price and effectiveness. Of course, I have to use a separate wheel cleaner but thats no big deal. Can't see myself paying $20 for a small bottle of the WG stuff.
Thanks for the review.

Re: Wolfgang Tire & Wheel Cleaner - Review and How-to
I thought it was a little spendy too, but it does a fantastic job. I think the real value of the Wolfgang products is that you know it is going to work, compared to some OTC products where they are hit and miss. I think some enthusiasts would prefer to high the target on the first shot rather than test around. I know when I pull out my WG products for some clients, they really appreciate that I use the 'top shelf' stuff for them.

Re: Wolfgang Tire & Wheel Cleaner - Review and How-to
Looks like a good product, been using just soap and water for light cleaning and Wheel Brightener for the really caked on wheels,
How does it work on wheelwells?

I wouldn't waste it on wheel wells. There are a lot of other products and tools I'd use up there. Like it was said, this is spendy stuff. Stick to wheels and tires with it.

Bang up job. I love some clean and well dressed tires and wheels.

Re: Wolfgang Tire & Wheel Cleaner - Review and How-to
First great results and an extremely thorough review as always.
However, isn’t the sign of a good, effective wheel cleaner something you spray, let soak and pressure wash off? For me looking at this review and the amount of effort and time I perceive it to have taken, I wouldn’t consider the product.
From the pix, those wheels look relatively clean to start with compared to the ones I have people bring me.
They want the car washed for relatively cheap and if you start having to break out brushes, mits etc then it’s killing a lot of time and not worth it. Or at least to me it’s not.
For me, if I have to break out a brush, going to be time & materials or they get a spray and wash with a pressure washer. So when I’m looking for reviews on a wheel cleaner, I’m looking for something that was sprayed on heavily soiled wheels, allowed to soak and then pressure washed off. Otherwise there are quite a few products out there that can be used with a brush and has been mentioned at a better price.
However, this review couldn’t have come at a better time. I came to the decision last week when I had a car whose wheels were so bad, that I had to finally break out a brillo pad with straight APC+. For the insides, I borrowed some Hot Rim’s Chrome and the stuff just came off with a pressure washer. So last week I set out to find something comparable to the effectiveness of the HR but also a safer product.
I made up my mind right then, the base price of a car wash is dependent on cleaning the wheels with a spray and pressure wash. Anything that requires more than a couple of minutes with a brush is etc or I’m not doing it for a pat on the back.
Thus why when looking for a product, I’m only interested in how well it works in a spray, rinse scenario.
Curious as to what others think and how they go about charging for doing wheels when they’ve been neglected and what’s important to them when looking for a wheel cleaner. I know ideally I’d like to use the least aggressive product I can with the least or preferably no effect on the environment. Maybe an option is going to a safe product and just doing wheels by the hour and pushing really hard to get a sealer on the wheels for the future etc.

I am also looking for the best "no scrub" wheel cleaner if such a thing exists. Anyone tried Poorboy's World Spray and Rinse Wheel Cleaner? Looks like some strong stuff. My wheels are such a pain to clean.

Re: Wolfgang Tire & Wheel Cleaner - Review and How-to
The nicest thing about WG is a small mist goes a long way, I have never used anything but WG and although it is expensive its a great product for us perfectionists. Not sure I would us it if I did detailing for a profession, too many people happy with "relatively clean"
