Auto Wheel 1 Liter, Active Wheel Cleaner

I've tried about all the iron contaminate removers (NanoSkin, Iron-X, Eagle1, etc.) on both wheels and auto paint and the Bilt Hamber cleaner is hands down the best of the lot. No, it's not inexpensive... but it's not something you're going to use every wash on a personal vehicle either and the RESULTS are well worth the money. The product has the right amount of viscosity to reman in place for iron deposit removal, reacts quickly on deposits by turning a purple color, cleans up with water. You won't regret buying Bilt Hamber.PS_ The bottle sprayer is VERY good and the smell, while not to be confused with Channel No.5, is tolerable.

This product is THE BEST wheel cleaner, hands down! It reacts the fastest I've ever seen in a wheel cleaner. It tackles the iron and ferrous metals very hard and cleans your wheels fast. This is the product you'd want to use to clean out very very messy rims or areas where scrubbing with dish soap just won't do.EDIT: I have changed my mind to a 5 star. Although the smell is horrendous, you'll get used to it quite fast. Think of a salon where they used too much dye. The smell will linger in whatever room you put it in.WEAR GLOVES! The smell will stay on you for quite some time regardless if you wash it off or not. If you're sensitive in smell, this might make you queasy.If you can overlook the smell OR acclimate to it, this will be the perfect cleaning product for wheels. Just one slight problem for USA buyers--the product isn't cheap to purchase. One bottle of 1000ml will run you at least $30usd.

Beware though while an A+ great product this listing is misleading. They sent me the old bottle when clearly it said I was getting the new bottle which was also pictured in the listing.

Used on the very difficult to keep clean 718M rims on my X3. It ended up doing the job.Tip 1: Do not perform the rim cleaning on your driveway. You will not be able to remove the reddish / black stains without using another aggressive chemical cleaner (as I found out the hard way).Tip 2: Completely cover all disc brake rotor surfaces using any method (I used some old t-shirts), otherwise it will do nasty things to the surfaces of brake rotors. As I found out in a small area.Tip 3: Wear clear eye protection (glasses, goggles, etc) which can be bought at any H/W outlet for just a few bucks. You don't want this product accidentally getting to your eyes. I wore a N95 mask also, but it is less necessary.After thoroughly cleaning and power washing the rims at a local do-it-yourself car wash facility, I followed the simple directions and applied to the Front rims first. The Bilt Hammer works just like a great Tub & Tile cleaner, and perfectly removed all old (or really old) brake dust. I did not have to do any scrubbing at all. Like a dream.The Rear rims however where a different story. After the first application, I still had major areas of old break dust residue on the rims. I then applied Bilt Hammer a 2nd time. Again, power washed off. Same thing. So then I soaked a rough towel with Bilt Hammer and went to work scrubbing aggressively at the rims. It took an extra 1/2 hour, but all areas cleaned up well.So, just know that like any really bad bathroom tub or tiles that have not had any aggressive cleaning in some time done to them, that your rims will be similar. It might take elbow grease to remove the older brake residue. But it will do the job!Also: After all surfaces where completely cleaned I spent the next couple of hours using Chemical Brothers MAXcoat Wheel Guard to protect the rims and make future clean ups a lot easier from now on. The application of MAXcoat was time consuming, but it went on / off great. Time will tell if it prevents brake dust from adhering to the rims.

This stuff is powerful. I was negligent with the rims so they were extremely dirty. I tried another product that helped. So instead of putting physical labor in, I labored and found this stuff. It was a great decision on my part. I will continue to buy this product.

This stuff is good but not worth the money.

I've been using this product over the past year now every time I wash my car, and after using it for some time I have to say, I'm impressed by how well it cleans my wheels. I've used a couple of other wheel cleaners in the past (Iron X, Chemical Guys Diablo), and of them all this one has been the best one.My wheels tend to get dirty quickly, mainly due to me running racing brake pads that dust like the Sahara Desert within a matter of days. But a simple spray and soak, followed by a pressure wash alone is enough to wash away most of the brake dust, even without agitating the wheels. I've also never had any issues with the cleaner damaging my wheels either, no marring or deterioration of the wheels surfaces. I should also mention that my wheels are diamond cut, which initially led me to believe that the cleaner could damage it, but so far it has not.My only compliant is the smell is pretty strong, almost like rotten eggs. But then again I expected this from a wheel cleaner, so I'm not surprised, nor am I too bothered.

Got it delivered today drove to the car wash and by the time I got there the entire bottle had leaked out into my trunkHorrible product didn’t even do any better than sonax so not only is my trunk ruined I didn’t even get clean wheels
