    PB Wheel Cleaner

    I washed the wife's Nissan Quest. The wheels where very dirty. The picture doesn't do the amount of grime justice.

    I sprayed PB Spray & Rinse Wheel Cleaner and washed away all that grime and dirt with the spray hose. The PB wheel cleaner works great! Except for the spray nozzle that came with it. I could not get it too work worth a darn. I tried taking it apart and washing it I finnally took the spray nozzle off a nearly empty bottle of Meg's Hot Wheels cleaner and used it on the PB.

    Then, I sprayed some WG Spritz detailer and wiped it down with an MF. Lastly, I sprayed Meg's Hot Tire Shine

    The main point I wanted to make here is that the PB wheel cleaner is awesome! Except for that darn trigger spray! The picture with the cleaner is with the nozzle that came with it. Seemed like a nice heafty sprayer, but it got clogged and would only stream.

    Looking good. How do you like the Meg's Hot Shine? Doesn't seem to have much shine in the picture.

    I think he just took the spray gun from the Meg's product.

    Its a great wheel cleaner, but please remember to use caution. Wet wheels, cool wheels, and never use on uncoated aluminum. It doesnt have to be used weekly, and you must use it liberally to coat. Great stuff for neglected wheels and tires, and easy cleanup monthly for better wheels.

    Yep, I just took off the sprayer from the Meg's and screwed it on to the PB bottle.

    Killr, I assume you are saying be careful becuase the stuff is powerful? What do you recommend as a weekly cleaner? The Meg's product worked pretty good, but I was always having to scrub it.

    Interested as well. Normally I just use soap and water though for my weekly. Products only I have some tough spots/wheels.

    If you insist on a wheel cleaner, then consider some of the safest. Pinnacle, P21S ....

    Protecting your wheels also makes it easier to clean them weekly. I have used AIO/SG with amazing results. Brake dust and the sort just come off. You could also considering using Wheel Wax (http://www.autogeek.net/whwaxcarca.html) or Wheel Glaze (http://www.autogeek.net/dp-wheel-glaze.html).

    I hear so much on this forum about AIO I might have to try it. I have been wanting to try the DP Wheel Glaze and with it being on sale I think I'll give it a try. However, the Wheel wax is especially tempting with the fetching model!
