The Review

I tested this in my detail shop recently on a customer's vehicle. She had a Subaru BRZ that she had just driven about 2.5 hours on the interstate. As you can see in the 1st photo, the wheels were pretty caked with dirt, grime, and brake dust. I wanted to see what the product could do without agitating, so I didn't use a brush or anything. Essentially I soaked, sprayed clean, and obtained the photos.

Products used: Wolfgang Uber Wheel Cleaner, 1200 PSI pressure washer

Steps:
1. Luckily it was cool out and after the car sat for about 30 minutes, I went ahead and sprayed a good coat of the cleaner on the left wheels.
2. After about 3 minutes on the dot, I obtained some quick photos to show the product in action.
3. After the photos were taken, I went ahead and rinsed the wheels clean using my pressure washer. I did a nice even spray from about 5-6" away. I did a single pass on each part of the wheel.
4. Once the wheel was rinsed clean, I obtained the final photos.
5. Once the final photos were taken, I went ahead and washed the wheels like I normally would during the course of the wash. For the purposes of the test, I used it as a pre-soak only.

Impression: This is a great product. You could really tell it was working during the presoak, as you could see the brake dust running down the wheels and onto the ground. It seemed to activate after about a minute or so by turning purple, similar to an Iron-X product. It also smells very similar to Iron-X, which is terrible! After they were sprayed clean, I would say I removed 90-100% of the dirt and grime on the wheels. For the purposes of production detailing it would still require a hand-cleaning but if you were to do a quick wash at home, or something to use as a pre-soak prior to a touchless carwash (when the wheels are cool), this would be my #1 pick. Generally, I will pre-soak wheels in a mild degreaser diluted at 5:1 (Meguiar's). As a comparison to that, this works much better, although not as cost effective.

**** Overall rating: 5 of 5 stars ****

Someone please reply. I received the email about the Wolfgang dream wheel kit. So I went to AG and read the five reviews. Not one of the reviews had anything in common with the kit. I have seen the same reviews for other products from AG.

Yeah, they should probably change that. It's just reviews for the previous VIP Specials, doesn't make too much sense to have it there because it seems to cause some confusion.

You would have have to look at the specific product page to see the reviews for it.
