Car Yard –
We use this monthly on our fleet vehicles. Removes brake dust buildup effectively and the alkaline formula does not harm alloy rims. Not the strongest cleaner for really neglected wheels but for regular maintenance it is excellent. Goes a long way with bulk purchase. Reordering soon.
Anthony Palmer –
Alkaline formula handles the brake dust that accumulates on our vehicles.

Best wheel cleaner on the market in my opinion. Strong enough to work but safe on the rims. Will order this every time.

Ordered it for our mobile detailing service. Clients are impressed with how clean the wheels look after we use this. Definitely a keeper.

Using on the fleet weekly and it’s been the best product for brake dust removal. Fast working and doesn’t damage the rims at all.

This wheel cleaner is amazing. Gets rid of all the brake dust buildup that normally takes ages to shift. My alloy wheels look brand new after using it.

Works on alloy rims. Does the job for regular maintenance, though really heavy dust took a second application.

Using this on our fleet wheels monthly. Removes brake dust well and keeps them looking maintained. Good bulk option for our usage.
Mobile Detailer –
Got it for our fleet. Works fine on lightly dirty wheels but when there is heavy accumulation it takes a while to break down the buildup. Still good value for the volume.
