    Do I have an obsession with wheel cleaners?

    Hey guys so here's my situation. I have Sonax Full Effect, Meguiar's Wheel Brightener, P21S Wheel Cleaner Gel, Muc-Off Wheel Cleaner, and I'm about to order some Chemical Guys Diablo Wheel Cleaner. Not to mention the handful of OTC wheel cleaners. I guess I just haven't found one thats cost effective, safe, and works as well as I would like. Maybe I'm just being to picky. Out of what I listed what one do you like the best and why AND/OR what wheel cleaner do you guys like better and why?

    I have the Griots wheel cleaner and have been very pleased with it.

    I'm glad you brought this up Shawn. You and I got wheels on the brain today LOL (Per my PM). OPC worked well for me on some really baked on brake dust and grime, but on, say corners of spokes, I couldn't get it off. I was thinking of getting some IronX Paste for that. Don't necessarily want to get the small tube but don't necessarily want to pay $19.99 for the big tube right now. I need something that will work and is cost effective.

    I have heard really good things about Griots HD Wheel Cleaner. I may have to give that a shot next!

    Shoeless if you ever want any griots stuff let me know. We have a griots dealer about 20 minutes away from us. We could get together and go up there or I could just pm you directions.

    I keep myself limited to 2 wheel cleaners.

    Wheel Brightener
    Chemical Guys Diablo

    That combo hasn't done me wrong yet.

    Although... I do want to try Brown Royal.

    griots hd is IME the most cost effective along with 95% the power and effectiveness of sonax.

    It sounds like any of the Iron-X products needs to be a staple in a wheel cleaning regimen, although I've never tried it.

    I need to take the time to claybar mine and Collinite them, it should make cleaning a SNAP!
