    Re: Meguairs non-acid wheel cleaner

    At 2:1 mix, I like it a lot, but I do agree with Hammer, it's not the strongest cleaner I have used. On really bad wheels, I like Meg's Hot Rims Wheel & Tire Cleaner for getting the stubborn brake dust and tire blooming off without major effort.

    I have a bottle at 2:1 and 1:1. Ive had a lot of compliments on customers wheels/hub caps. Does a great job.

    Supposedly works well at water spot removal on paint.

    At 1:1 do you see the tires getting cleaner vs 2:1? I've only used d143 at 2:1.

    I rarely need it on my own wheels, just soap and dedicated wash mitt. It would be a waste at 1:1 for my personal wheels.

    I bet it works well at removing a lot of stuff from paint. I believe Darren Priest used it on a Bentley grill. I'd be too scared to even experiment.

    I'm with you on the whole ammonium biflouride/acid thing. I don't even like bringing WB out when my kids are around. But it sure does work well on caked on brake dust. Wish I would have never bought it and just stuck to Sonax or D143.

    IMHO:
    Without the proper PPE...it's very
    unhealthy (not good) to ever use
    WB---even for its original, and
    intended, purpose.

    With that being said:
    You can rest assured that...unless you
    are Certified---having received formal
    HF-training---and have access to (and
    will actually use) the proper PPE...then
    there'll be no recommendations forth-
    coming from me to use WB anywhere,
    anytime, or on anything.

    Re: Meguairs non-acid wheel cleaner

    Can anyone compare it to Flash Brown Royal? It's one of the only non-AG products that I use. I've been going through about 16oz of [diluted] product every time I do wheels/tires.

    I've never done a side by side on the same wheel so I dunno. I have always just gone by feeling on which one to use. Probably not MUCH difference. Lightly dirty wheels and tires I just use the 2:1.

    I totally understand, I've been told from some really reliable sources that blooming or browning is natural and not a indication of a dirty tire.
