This past Saturday I decided to help Nick detail his car to tackle the wheels I decided to try Detailer's Wheel Cleaner. I know when it comes time to wash a car some people dread about doing the wheels but if you have the right tools and products it can be a breeze. The DP wheel cleaner lifted up the brake dust and left a clean surface. The best thing about this product is that it does not contain acid which means you can use it on factory coated, painted, and anodized wheels.

You can also be uses this product on tires to remove old tire gel and road grime. You will notice when I was using this product I did not have to wear gloves that is because this wheel cleaner does not have any acid in it. The wheel cleaner did not have any strong smell that some other wheel cleaners have. The tools I used to get the job done was Daytona Speed Master Jr. Wheel Brush, short handle tire/wheel brush, Wheel Woolies Boars Hair Brush, and the small Wheel Woolie. To clean inside the barrel I used the Daytona Speed Master Jr. Wheel Brush. It is flexible as a fits in between the spokes and does not miss a spot and will not scratch the wheel.

The small Wheel Woolie was used fit between all the tight areas like the caliper. Before I used Daytona Speed Master Jr. Wheel Brush and the small Wheel Woolie to detail the wheel I would have to take it off to get in the hard to reach areas.

To clean face of the wheel I used Wheel Woolies boars hair brush this tool is so soft that it is impossible to scratch your wheels.

When it came time to clean the tire I used the short handle tire/wheel brush this brush worked great as it removed old tire gel and grime from the road.

To clean the area around the lug nuts I used the Carrand lug nut brush let me tell you this brush is amazing I use to use a cotton swab to get all the dirt that was stuck in between the lug nuts but this brush fits right in and removes it all.

After all is said and done I will always be using these tools to do the job as they do a amazing job. If you are looking to save time and have like new wheels then I recommend the product and tools that I used.

Great review Bryan, and thanks for giving me a hand with my car. :dblthumb2:

Yes this is a very good surfactant based wheel cleaner. It seems pretty concentrated, I bet you could dilute it a bit if your wheels are not too bad. It foams up very well.

But, I haven't had good luck with it removing old dressings 100%. Another thing I noticed about it is that it takes a bit more rinsing to flush it off than some others. But, I think this may be due to it being concentrated, a little goes a long way for sure. The 32oz cylinder bottles and the stock sprayer are good as well, but I've switched mine off to a foaming sprayer.

Buy it by the gallon or get it on BOGO.

Good point you can dilute it if your wheels are in better shape which makes it an even better value.
