Wheel cleaner
I’ve neglected my car for almost a year when it came to washing it up. I finally got around to it and I’m obviously no expert Detailer but I have to say, I was fairly impressed. I was not expecting it to be nearly that clean. Highly recommend it and gotta make sure to read the instructions it gives for the best results as you can see in my before and after picture.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for BBS basketweaves!
Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2021
My '95 Miata M Edition is equipped with factory 15" BBS "basketweave" wheels. Other wheel cleaners get them "sorta" clean, but brake dust and dirt linger in the cracks and crevices. In addition most acidic cleaners can leave a white residue on the clearcoated aluminum outer rims that needs to be polished out. The result? It takes the better part of an HOUR just to get the wheels clean... and that's on a car that gets driven three or four days per week and lives in the garage otherwise.

Enter Car Guys. Yes, this stuff is spendy. And no, it's not perfect (more on that later). But it Just. Plain. Works.

Application is easy. Car Guys has a thick gel consistency that stays where you spray it. Just spray the wheel with the cleaner, let it sit five minutes and agitate with a soft brush (I use a long wheel brush for the inside face of the spokes and a big soft handled brush for the wheel face). Rinse thoroughly. For stubborn stains or heavy buildup agitate the offending area again and rinse. To stop any water spots I blast the wheels with compressed air after washing to dry them off.

Since Car Guys is a gel, it really sticks to the wheels. That leads to the main challenge, which is getting it ALL off the wheels. You can't just hit the wheels with a low-pressure stream of water and expect it to come off easily. A high -pressure nozzle on a garden hose just about does it, but a pressure washer does a better job.

My wheels look better than they have since I've owned my car. It takes less time to get them looking good. And getting every bit of dirt and brake dust off means that subsequent cleanings are quicker and they look better between cleanings. That makes Car Guys a winner in my book.

The pictures attached are of my 26-year-old wheels after cleaning today. They really do look that good!

Update... I bought this stuff back in May. It gets used every two weeks on my Miata (my daily driver has easy-to-clean wheels so I save the good stuff for the BBS wheels). I'm just now ordering another bottle. When the manufacturer says you don't need a lot they really mean it. A little goes a long way, and it still does a great job on my wheels without attacking or otherwise damaging either the painted or clearcoated sections. Great stuff!
