Looking for a good color changing wheel cleaner

[Bill1234]

I have had the trouble of detailing some nasty wheels that are most of the time on German cars. I love my brown royal as it is great and really destroys break dust. However, What is really the best cleaner for money and performance that I could get the most out of. I tried iron x and while it works, it is very expensive. Dub by meguiars is good but there is not alot of product. Is there anything out there that is good on price and performance that still has the iron remover built in?

Pretty strong stuff I've used on bmw wheels that are coated but has not iron removal is malco brake off. I also use Sonax.

Somebody just did a test on 4 different ones on here yesterday I think.

[Bill1234]

I have read the test and here is what I see. They are either expensive works well and most product and its hard to get all three. I have read great reviews on sonax, and scholl concepts rim cleaner and they seem to do the job. I am not really a fan of iron x because it is extremely expensive. I dont know about trix or others and im just looking for input on really the best I can get for my money

I use Megs Wheel Brightner diluted 4:1. I doesn't cahnge color but works good. I also have some hydrofloric acid I can dilute if they are real bad. But not much of that left.

Sonax Wheel Cleaner Plus is more expensive than Iron-x, and Iron-x can be used everywhere.

After you clean your wheels once really well, an APC is all you need. My Brembos on my SUV kick out a ton of brake dust, they get dirty after driving it once, and an APC works well. Best budget wheel cleaner there is.
