    Re: Looking for a new wheel cleaner.

    Griot's HD cleans well, turns reddish like Sonax, is safe on all wheels.

    Brown Royal if the brake dust is bad. It cleans like no other but is pretty strong undiluted. It cleans fairly well at 3:1. At full strength, you need to avoid breathing it. I have not been impressed with Sonax, especially at the price. Griot's heavy duty is good. OPC full strength is a good all around cleaner for tires, wheels and wheel wells.

    Just drained a bottle of Sonax doing a set of I30 wheels (4x each wheel with brushing/scrubbing and they're still not clean). Granted they were filthy, but I'd really had higher hopes for the Sonax based on positive reviews here and elsewhere.

    The Flash Brown Royal looks interesting. The Griot's looks about as expensive as Sonax. The Meg's price looks right if it works.

    I am a very loyal AG purchaser and will only go outside for an exceptional product AG doesn't sell. Some of the folks on the forum mentioned BR and I had to try it. It is every bit as good as advertised and really reasonably priced.

    A gallon of the Griot's HD is about half the price of the Sonax.
