Meg's Wheel Brightener, ratio questions

[Klasse Act]

So I ordered a gallon of this today and wanted to ask those who've been using it a couple questions.

1. What ratio for maintenance washes, 4:1 or more?

2. What ratio for brake dust encrusted wheels?

3. Dwell time for both?

Thanks in advance and I plan on making gallons for each use

I use 10 and 4 just like the bottle recommends. Dwell time varies depending on temperatures but I wouldnt let it dry for sure.

make sure to use gloves and eye protection (even some dusk/particle masks too), especially if you use a spoke brush for the barrels where it could potentially fling out. you don't want to get that stuff in your eyes, on your skin, or breathe it in...

Yes that sounds good. It doesn’t need to be on long, since you are in the garage it should be good. It’s gonna be powerful scent wise though lol. Make sure to rinse very thoroughly

Stuff works well like any acid wheel cleaner does.

Thank you everyone!

I guess I should've read more closely about it being an acidic wheel cleaner but I guess at 10:1 for maintenance cleanings I should be good. I say this because on my own car I stay on top of it year round and they never get too dirty, just wanted to give this product a shot since people talk about it so much, don't wanna stain either set of my wheels here!

I only use 4:1 if the wheel is not really dirty, I simply use my degreaser on the rim as well (I normally use it on the tire and wheel well). Maybe I should diluting it to 10:1 and see how it does. It's just that I hate that stuff, it kill all my sprayers in no time. The only way I have managed to make them last is to remove the sprayer from the bottle after ever use and have it spray water to rinse it out. Really annoying and time wasting. I have tried several types of sprayers including chemical resistant ones and they all die within the first 3 use of the product. So make sure you rise out the sprayer or you will find this product is pretty costly to use if you have to spend 2$ or 3$ on a new sprayer with every use.

On the bright side, when used at 4:1 is cuts through baked in brake dust like there is no tomorrow. If your can't remove it all in the first go, spray a second time and it should remove the rest. As other have said, be very careful of fumes and sling with this thing. Hydrochloric acid is some of the nastiest stuff we detailers have to work with, a serious health hazard if you are not careful. So for me that means gloves. I don't use a mask. What I do is I hold my breath while spraying then I walk away about 5-10 feet before I start breathing again.

I sent AG an email about trying to swap out this wheel cleaner, sounds to harsh for my needs.

I don't hardly ever grab it unless I get a really messed up wheel that Sonax or others will not touch and even then, WB does okay. There are stronger ones on the market, but I don't want that near me.

I'm hoping to switch out the gallon of Megs wheel Brightener, the Megs bottle and sprayer for 2 bottles of CG's sticky citrus, haven't heard back yet but I'm sure they are slammed today
