OK, I got this cleaner after i have used the ArmorAll one which left me very impressed. As i became a real fan of this type of product (wheel cleaners) i decided it was time to try something else and thats when i changed from ArmorAll to Mothers.

ArmorAll cleaned my Benz wheels really good but after trying MOthers stuff i found a better product. Mothers took off more (not all) brake dust than ArmorAll, it almost left my wheels brake dust free.

All these type of products need between 30 secs to 2 minutes to act and they mus be applied to cool wheels. The Mothers brand smells very very strong… if you get to close to the wheel you will inhale the vapors and you will feel them right in your throught. After the first use i noticed the difference compared to ArmorAll… it cleans a lot better but it also smels and seems to be more hramfull to your lungs.

Apply it from the distance and try avoiding the vapors… you will have the cleanest possible wheels!

My wheels were nasty. I cleaned them maybe once in the 5 years I have owned my Honda Accord. So, all that brake dust was caked on there real good. I had tried some other wheel cleaners in the past, but had poor results. Then I did some quick research and came across this product. The amazon reviews were glowing so I decided to give it a shot. A bit skeptical, I applied the stuff, waited, and took to brushing. Amazed, the thick cake actually broke up. After spraying the wheels with water, they were glistening like I haven’t seen in years.

Now, the Mother’s didn’t clean the wheels off completely. There was still some cake on there. I waited for the wheels to dry and reapplied. The cake was stubborn, but the Mother’s got it off. I’m astounded at its performance. This is some good stuff.

Other than that, I really can’t comment on how well Mother’s is at keeping the wheels clean. And frankly I don’t care because I know that it can always clean them up in the end.

I’ve used several other “wheel cleaners” that make all kinds of claims about how well they work. None of them has ever worked for me.

I picked-up a bottle of this at the Mother’s booth at the “Good Guys” event in Del Mar last weekend. It is amazing stuff and works EXACTLY as claimed. Spray it on a cool wheel, wait 2 minutes, spray it off. It gets the grime out of every corner and the inside of the rim. It also does a great job on calipers. After using it on 2 cars I ordered a case of the stuff.

Oh yea, and I just used it clean a stainless BBQ grill. It works great for that job too!
