    Megs Wheel Brightener vs Sonax Full Effect

    Megs Wheel Brightener- 18.99 a GALLON



    Diluted to the proper ratio Megs Wheel Brightener works really well for a inexpensive wheel cleaner. It happens to work quite well if you let it dwell for 30 seconds, but the downfall is you still need to use a wheel brush. It took off 60-70 percent of the brake dust without using a brush or wiping. The daytona wheel brush made the wheel look squeaky clean. Like almost all wheel cleaners a wheel brush and wipe down is always necessary.

    Sonax Full Effect - 15.99 for a 16.9oz Bottle



    Right out of the bottle sonax was applied to the audi's heavily soiled rims and let dwell for 2 minutes. Without using the wheel brush 85-90 percent of the brake dust and wheel grime came off with just a spray from the hose. The rest of the brake dust and wheel grime needed to be cleaned off with the Daytona Wheel Brush.

    ***NOTE: SOME OF THE PICTURES DO NOT DO JUSTICE!!


    Both Wheel Cleaners did there job great. Clearly SONAX is a better wheel cleaner, but when push comes to shove Megs Wheel Brightener is a better VALUE. In conclusion, both products still needed the wheel brush to complete the job, so I would choose MEGS over SONAX on the appropriate type of wheel of course.

    Megs WB is miles stronger than Sonax. PH balanced wheel cleaners can only do so much and thats when wheel acids like WB come into play. Get a wheel that is extremely caked in brake dust and you will see a significant difference.

    Yes, it can't be used on ALUMINUM. That's where Sonax would come in.

    Re: Megs Wheel Brightener vs Sonax Full Effect

    I have said this many, many times, but I still think that Brown Royal is better. It's cheaper at $18 a gallon and can be diluted up to 5:1 on some wheels, safe on all wheels including bare aluminum among many others, and works just as well as Sonax or very close to it.

    You can also use it on wheel wells, tires and even paint when diluted properly. No, it doesn't turn red, but it's $0.14 per gallon instead of Sonax which is $0.94 per gallon which can't be diluted. It's almost 10 times cheaper and works just as well.

    To be honest, I have no idea why people don't try this product, maybe it's because it's only sold at one location and it's not a wide spread/talked about product, but it is truly amazing and a price that you can actually live with.

    I may sound like a fanboi and maybe I am, but I can honestly say I don't have a reason to buy a more expensive cleaner.

    That's the only knocks to the products and like you already said its sold in only one location so when a site goes on sale you forget about stuff like that.
