    Hello,

    Thanks for all the responses. How much does p21s wheel cleaner cost? Can you buy it in a gallon?

    I just looked it up. WOW. 18.00 for a 16oz bottle. 90.00 for a gallon. I hope you can dilute that product alot for that price.

    It's a 5 liter jug (1.32 gallons), a gallon is 3.78 liters...
    No, you can't/shouldn't dillute it. It's powerfull, but you have to leave it on for an hour or so...Or you can use DP gel wheel cleaner for general use...but it's not as powerfull/safe as P21S gel wheel cleaner.

    Hi,

    You have to leave it on for an hour? Thats ridiculous. I cant beleive anyone would buy that product. Spend all that money and wait all day until it cleans? Forget about it. Thanks for the info.

    You do not need to leave it on for an hour, I have no clue what Supercharge is trying to say. Most of the time you just spray P21S on let it dwell for a minute and hose off. If brake dust is caked on you will need a wheel brush like the one from swissvax and you are all set.

    P21S gel wheel clenaer is strong, but in order to take it's full potential, you need to leave it on for up to 2 hours. I do it only if wheels weren't cleaned for over a month. I never had to leave it on for longer then 15 minutes though. If you clean your wheels every week, you could simply get away with just soap and water.
    German cars would benefit from it, as their brake dust can be a pain to remove if not cleaned regularly.

    Re: Which wheel cleaner do you use?

    I personally love love love Megs wheel brightener. 1 gallon for $20. Dilute to 4:1. That comes out to $5 for 1 gallon.
    May not be the "safest", but I've never had a problem with it on all types of wheels. Clear coated, non clear coated, and chrome/polished/aluminum, etc.

    My wheels are polished aluminum and never had a problem so far. I also use this everytime I wash the car.


    I also have DP Gel wheel cleaner that I do use though for chrome wheels. No particular reason, just the thought of being a little "safer". However, once it runs out, I don't plan on ever buying another wheel cleaner except for megs wheel bright.
