Very Impressed With This Wheel Cleaner!

I own a 2007 Toyota Tundra Truck. It is my work truck and I treat it like a work truck. It gets washed about once or twice a year at a drive through car wash. The rims had so must dust and grime on them you couldn't tell that they are chrome. I sprayed Sonax on the rims waited about five minutes and brushed each one for about five minutes. About 90% of the dust and grime came off. With a little more effort I am certain I can get the wheels 100% clean. Sonax is an amazing product.

If you wearing expensive wheels like I do, you don't want to mass around with any cheap cleaner on them!
I use this wheel cleaner for over 13 years! Is expensive but is the best! I have use on my HRE, Hamann, BBS as well as OEM wheels. when I spray something on these $$$$ rims, I needs to be sure they are safe on the rims. P21S products is the one I trust!

Some people may say, a $8 cleaner will do the same job, Yes they do! but they may damage the coating on the wheels. Easyoff is cheap and sure will get things off your wheels! will you use it?

I recently started paying attention to removing brake dust. I tried doing it with just car wash soap , a brush, and elbow grease. After a few buckets of soapy water and getting my shirt stained with dirty black brake dust liquid, I decided to research spray on wheel cleaners.

The internet recommended Sonax Full Effect wheel cleaner so I decided to try it. It worked just like they said it would. Spray on the bright green liquid and watch it turn red (very dark red) and drip off. After 5 minutes, spray off the remaining chemical with water. I'd say it removed about 80% of the brake dust the first time I used it. I have yet to compare this to any other wheel cleaner. I will come back to this review if I find a better product.

As others have mentioned before, this cleaner has a very strong smell. So spray it on quickly and walk away.

Awesome product. Comes with everything you need to restore aluminum wheels. I bought a 1972 240Z which had some majorly oxidized slotted mag wheels on it, which included quite a bit of road rash. With this kit I was able to easily restore 3 wheels, and ran out of sanding discs on the fourth. Had I been a little more conservative on the earlier wheels, I'm sure I could have done all 4. However, for the price, I just bought a second kit. The wheels looked totally different when I was done. This kit immediately eliminated all the oxidation and brought the wheels back to a shiny, polished finish. On top of that, I was able to get out some fairly significant road rash. It won't take out major scrapes, but I was surprised as to how much I was able to completely eliminate. You can definitely get the same effect just by buying and using various grit sandpapers and polishing compound, but I think it would probably wind up being more expensive, and certainly less convenient than this kit. I was ready to buy all new wheels but decided to try restoring them myself using this kit and was totally blown away at how well it worked. The difference is night and day.

I have to admit up front that I am ashamed of myself for not shampooing our bedroom carpet, but that's how it is!  Anyway, after comparing prices and features for a carpet cleaner, I reluctantly purchased the Hoover SteamVac SpinScrub Carpet Washer with Clean Surge, F5915905, to give it a shot to make our bedroom carpet look better after 4 years of traffic.
What a wonderful surprise!  I now have a carpet that looks nearly brand new!  I was shocked, to say the least!  The only place that the machine did not get to as well was at the threshold, but that was understandable since it would loose suction there.  I will use the attachment to clean that up later.
For now I am a very happy lady!

I have 10 spoke rims, and cleaning them with a sponge was getting to be a real pain in the you know where. I figured i would try a brush to see if it would make my life any better.

To my great surprise, this brush gets the job done. Really easy to get behind all the nooks and crannies that 10 spoke wheels provide. No more were my hands covered in break dust since i was no longer touching the actual surface of the wheels anymore.

Simply spray on your wheel cleaner, let it sit for a few minutes. Then bring in the brush and scrub your wheels down well. Then rinse with the hose. Sparkling clean rims will be your result. My rims are powder coated a matte black and i have noticed absolutely no scratches from using this brush either. Just make sure you wash it off before and after each use to make sure the bristles are clean.

They say this is the best wheel cleaner out there for BMW wheels and it is. The thick viscosity of the product makes brake dust literally melt off with little agitation. Highly recommended for the detailing enthusiast.

It did a great job on the chrome wheels on my truck!  Removed all of the dirt and grime, then used the cotton buffer to remove the polish and shine the wheels bright!  I bought them again for my son in-law for birthday present!

Whizzy Wheel did an outstanding job at removing both the pin stripping and the decals from my truck.  There was no paint damage, and the dust wiped right off with a dry shop towel.  A word of caution, the wheels get HOT if you apply too much pressure or run your drill on high speed.  They will leave a yellow residue that you will need acetone and scotch bright to remove it.  I practiced with a piece of painted metal with decals on it before I used it on my truck, just to know my limitations as far as speed and pressure.  I found that about 1/2 speed on a Milwaukee 1/2" drill with light pressure did the best.  Removing decals and pin stripping on both sides of an 8' bed took about 25 - 30 minutes.  I've used the 3M eraser wheel, and the Whizzy Wheel did a much cleaner job faster.

I have sustained a back injury so cleaning wheels by hand can be trying at times. The spray does a solid job of cleaning the wheels without being abrasive. The only caveat is you might have to use multiple applications which can make this a pricey product.

I've been trying different wheel cleaners for years . . . I had one for the chrome wheels on my truck and my car and another for the aluminum wheels on my wifes car.  They were all a pain.  Had to spray on brush like crazy and rinse off before they dry or you have a real mess on your hands.  Tried Sonax and was amazed.  It works on all surfaces . . .simple to use . . .spray on green . . .wait til it turns red and rinse off . . .that's it!  Wheels look fantastic.  Removes brake dust better than any product I've ever used.  However, as great as it is . . .it could be priced more reasonably.  You only get approximately 5 uses for $15.95

Without doubt the best cleaner I have ever bought. I had baked on brake dust that no chemical or cleaner would begin to remove. These guys product cut through the residue effortlessly. I need no other wheel cleaner than this! Great seller communication, great product, I highly recommend buying these guys products.

I worked at the detailing department at a car wash and know something about buffers. This thing works *great* on paint, just like a commercial grade buffer wheel. If you have experience with a regular buffer wheel, this is an easy adaptation. It's small enough to handle easily, but big enough to do a fairly quick job.

I use a corded drill for doing a large vehicle. Unless your cordless has brand new batteries, they may run out. But you will save money by not having to buy a buffing tool. 2 of these babies (1 to polish, 1 to wax) and a good drill is all you will ever need. They clean up by soaking in dish soap solution for an hour or two (use enough soap). I definitely recommend this product to anyone who wants a good looking car and wants to save about $100 on equipment!

Having used a handful of other Iron removing wheel cleaners, so far I'm really impressed with the Sonax entry. Unlike many which have a VERY strong sulfur smell this one has a faint citrus scent which keeps you from being overwhelmed. As a result of the slightly weaker smell, I'd imagine it's slightly less aggressive than cleaners like Nanoskin Iron Free or other similar products BUT the biggest difference I've noticed is that this will not stain tires like others do while still dissolving Iron and making for a simple cleanup.
And it's not a gallon - remember it's 5 liters so you get almost an extra quart of liquid over US manufacturers.

I have only had this thing a few hours and already I am amazed. This thing was able to take off the lug nuts that had been overtorqued at the tireshop recently. Then I wanted to see if this thing would take off spindle nuts, as another reviewer had stated that it would. To my amazement it did! Not one, but both axle nuts came off fairly easily with this thing! I tried both the lug nuts and the axle nuts with a breaker bar and they wouldn't budge, but this thing spun them right off. You do need to keep a loose connection with the socket, rather than pushing in on it, but this thing will loosen nearly anything if you do. I haven't tried yet, but I would be willing to bet this would even take off a crankshaft pulley bolt! I highly recommend this tool.

P.S. The sockets are listed in metric sizes, however the pictures on Wagan's website and the product I actually received are SAE. So instead of 17, 19, 21, and 22mm, what actually comes in the package is 11/16, 3/4, 13/-6, and 7/8.

Best wheel cleaner I have found!

Despite claims of some products, none of them will get everything off without a bit of elbow grease.  This comes the closest of any, but will still need a bit of brushing to get all the brake dust.

This product also has a fairly pleasant aroma, rather than the typical caustic/burning aroma of many others.  I have used a lot of Griot products, and while they certainly aren't the cheapest -- they have all been solid performers.  This is no exception.

Highly recommended!

Best wheel cleaner yet.  BMW brake dust is a nightmare, and this eats it away than any other product I have tried, and there have been many
