Questions:

2. How much baked on crud can it remove in 1 application. (I am on the lookout for a truly nasty wheel)
Thoughts / Summary:
After using WG UWC on the passenger side wheel decided to try Sonax on the matching driver’s side. Sonax barley changed color and the cleaning wash poor in comparison the WG UWC. I attribute a good portion of this to the fact that WG UWC is more of a gel than a watery liquid.
As you can also see in the videos above I even tried WG UWC on already “clean” and protected and maintained wheels. Even on these wheels WG UWC was able to react to the small amount of imbedded contamination and clean them even better.
Being someone that prefers P21S Gel wheel cleaner over other due to the gel aspect made WG UWC a definite surprise and joy to use. It clung well, maintaining a good work time while also cleaning well. In my opinion agitation will always be necessary with wheel cleaners, so having to agitate a little was no problem for me.
