Meguiar's Hot Rims Wheel & Tire Cleaner, 24 Oz | Tire Cleaner Spray, Removes Brake Dust And Road Grime, Use On OEM Clear Coated Wheels and Sidewalls On Cars, Trucks & Suvs

This gets 5 stars from me. I was absolutely amazed at how well this stuff cleans. Just a little about me. I have never cared how my cars have looked. Im almost 50 and every car I have owned got washed about twice a year and the inside got cleaned about once a year if they were lucky. I recently bought a used nissan leaf that was in awesome shape. Something about this car has triggered something in me to really try and keep it looking great so I bought all kinds of cleaners for both inside and out to try and help me keep it that way. Maybe its the new to me thing and in a few months time I wont care again but for right now, its actually kind of fun. Anyways Here is me putting meguiars up against sonax wheel cleaner.where to start. I put this up against meguiras hot wheel and rim cleaner and I must say I was a little shocked. Here was my setup.2001 dodge caravan. The rims have never been scrubbed and the wheels have never been scrubbed either. Sure they have went through automatic carwashes, my wife usually did it about once a week but never have these rims been scrubbed at all by hand. Surprisingly they were not nearly as bad as some youtube videos I saw so I guess car washes once a week still helped out a bunch.Anyways following directions for both, the sonax sat on the rims for 4 minutes and the meguiras about 30 seconds.I really expected more from a $20 bottle of wheel cleaner, I saw lots of youtube videos and I just felt this was going to stomp meguiras. Keep in mind I had no plans on putting this up against anything. Turned out I forgot I put the $5 add on bottle of meguiras in an earlier order to meet my minimum then the next day I bought this.Anyways the sonax did ok. It took a fair amount off, It did turn nice and red which makes you think its working its butt off. After the rinse though, it was still very dirty. The meguiras rim, you could see in just 30 seconds it sliding right off. Rinse and inspect and it got a lot more of the rim cleaned than the sonax rim.So for the other 2 wheels I did the exact same test but this time I used a small round detailing brush to get into the lug nut holes and went ahead and used it to go over the entire rims, mind you this was a fairly soft brush so there was no real scrubing action here.The sonax wheel did better this time but still left some areas on the rim. I suspected as much as it was not a scrubbing brush I was using. The meguiras rim just amazed me. Same brush, almost no pressure at all and after the rinse that rim looked amazing. There were still a couple spots but it got the majority of it off with so little effort.So my conclusion, Sonax did ok. Not $20 ok but it did work. The $5 bottle of meguiras though, it blew it away. In a no touch situation it was better than sonax but not night day difference. In touching the rims to clean though, sonax again did ok but that $5 bottle did it in a fraction of the time. The downside with meguiras is you will go through more of it quicker. I did 4 rims and tires and I had between half and 1/4th left. So if sonax can clean about 15 cars with one bottle then maybe it is more price efficient but it also took longer and more cleaning effort.---------------------I dont care if I go through a bottle a car, the less time I spend bent over trying to clean a wheel and rim will make up for the extra cost.I did not mention that after my test was done, I went over all 4 wheels with meguiars tire shine. I have to admit, the wheels on that van look absolutely fantastic but the rest of the van looks like crap lol. It hasnt seen a wax job in years. The paint is fading, water does not slide off at all. I bought a bottle of nu finish so I cant wait to see if it can do anything for it, It really needs a complete paint correction but it would cost way to much to have it professionally done and I dont have that kind of money to waste on an old van.

Pros:Removes stubborn brake dust quicklyExcellent cleaning powerWorks on heavily neglected wheelsEasy to useNoticeable results after a single applicationRestores a much cleaner appearanceCons:Strong chemical cleaner, gloves recommendedI was honestly blown away by how well this worked.My wheels had years of baked-on brake dust and road grime that other productsstruggled to remove. No matter how much scrubbing I did, there always seemed to be a layer of black residue left behind.After using this product, the difference was immediately noticeable. The cleaner cut through a tremendous amount of embedded brake dust and left the wheels looking dramatically better. Looking at the before and after results, it removed most of the contamination that had built up over time.The product was easy to apply and worked quickly. While some light staining remains in a few hard-to-reach areas, the overall improvement was far beyond what I expected from a single cleaning.One thing I would recommend is wearing gloves. This is a strong cleaner and you'll want to avoid prolonged skin contact while using it.Overall, this is one of the most effective wheel and brake dust cleaners I have used. I'll definitely continue buying it as needed because the results speak for themselves.

Very good product . My go to product for cleaning my allows wheel . Never had any problem with powder coat or chrome finishes . It does require a little bit of brushing to cut brake dust, but leaves a clean finish and never does anything harmful to wheel finished.

This is the only product I've found that really removes the brown oxidization from tires -- and it does that quickly and well. As long as you have alloy wheels, it's fine. Do NOT get it near painted wheels, unless your hubcap covers the entire wheel. It does warn you on the label. Note: on tires with a lot of sidewall detail you might need a stiff brush to get into the little grooves. But it's an excellent cleaner, used properly.

I don't use this on tires. I have found that this sprayed onto "Desitin" stains in fabric, and rubbed in real good, along with "Tide", removes the "Desitin" stain. Which is freaking amazing, because "Desitin" never comes out otherwise!

It really takes off the grease on the rims and tires

Great wheel cleaner for our Ferrari painted wheels

I have been using Meguiar's spray wax on my Harley for years in between full wash and waxes to keep the shine up. I love the ease of it and the outcomes I always get. So I figured I would finally give this wheel spray cleaner a try. its really a tough job to reach in and polish the back wheel on my bike and hoped a quick spray and a power wash off would do the trick. My 1st time using it I sprayed it on, let it soak and rinsed it off. It left about 50% of the break dust, dirt and grim behind. So I tried it a 2nd time. The 2nd time I sprayed it on, let it soak, sprayed a little more and then used a brush to scrub it around and rinsed. they came pretty clean. This stuff is definitely not just a spray and rinse product. if you are thinking or hoping (as i was) that this will do the job. Sorry, It wont. Maybe it will have the ability to keep wheels clean if they aren't to overcome with break dust if used like every week.

Its Meguiar, of couyits good

Habe meine Sommerfelgen über den Winter in einer Garage liegen lassen und vorm Einlagern nicht gereinigt. Mit dem Reiniger wurde alles hübsch sauber. Einfach Felge einsprühen, 2-3 Minuten warten, mit nem nassen Besen und ner Gieskanne abwaschen, schon ist sie sauber.

En la última foto se ve lo contaminados que estaban mis rines por dentro, pensé que era óxido. El producto genera su propia espuma al atomizar, basta con dejarlo unos segundos y "pulir" ligeramente con una esponja muy suave, yo compré las esponjas de limpieza de la marca, y estoy impresionado de lo fácil que se removió la mugre, incluso al pasarle agua se desprendía la suciedad.Estaba nervioso por el producto pues no quería arruinar mis rines por un par de comentarios que vi de otros compradores, mis rines son de 2010, no son viejos en lo absoluto y este producto me los dejó cómo nuevos en su totalidad. Me gasté media botella en una sola limpieza pero considera que es sin producto MUY económico para lo que ofrece. No te arrepentirás de usarlo.Te recomiendo usarlo en un lugar ventilado y a la sombra ya que huele ligeramente a ácido el producto, para evitar mareos durante su uso ;)

Great product but... left half bottle after 2x application on 4 wheels rims ..

This stuff is really the dogs whatsits. Spray it on leave for a couple of mins and jet wash or hose off. Bling Bling it literally dissolves the brake dust and leaves wheel rims gleaming. No need for abrasive scrubbing and gets into all the nooks and crannies of the wheel rim that you would normally ignore.
