SONAX Beast Wheel Cleaner | Color-Changing Formula for Wheels & Rims | Dissolves Baked-On Contamination, Road Grime & Iron Particles | Safe for Factory and Aftermarket Finishes | 1 Liter | 33.8 oz

For the past 6 years, I’ve been struggling to get the rims of my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk clean. I absolutely LOATHE cleaning them, because those huge Brembos cause a ton of brake dust. I’ve tried rim cleaners from The Chemical Guys and The Car Guys and they never got the rims fully clean. I always would have to do a second round of cleaning (I’m also a bit lazy about cleaning the rims because I hate it so much) and even then, they wouldn’t be totally clean. But this Sonax cleanser is AMAZING. I’m so glad I decided to try it, even though it’s a bit pricey. First of all, it sprays on easier than the others that I’ve tried. It’s not as thick, and the spray bottle sprays a wider spray, so it covers the rim better. After spraying it on, I take a detail brush and go into all the bends of the rim, all over the calipers, let the product sit for 5 minutes, and rinse it off. The rims come out almost perfect with just some minor touching up if they’re really dirty. And the best part is, they come out shiny, not dull, like with the other rim cleaners that I’ve tried. Happy customer!!!

Saw this on a YouTube channel and had to try it out. My wheels were pretty rough after the winter with a lot of brake dust. Usually I use wheely clean but I figured I'd give this a try. Oh boy they melted all of the dirt and grime off. Made my life way and worth every penny.

I do all our own car washes and have tried many wheel cleaners over the years. I found this one a few years ago recommended off a gearhead message board and have been using it ever since. It's expensive, and it goes quick, but it's beyond worth it. I am never ceased to be amazed how great the wheels look after washing the car. I do use a brush to scrub the wheel, but it's an effortless scrubbing. Then hit them with some ammonia-free window cleaner at the end. Looks brand new after every wash, no matter how bad they were before.

The SONAX Beast Wheel Cleaner does a good job of removing brake dust and grime from my rims. The color-changing formula is a nice feature, as it lets you see the cleaner at work, turning purple as it breaks down dirt and grease.While it’s effective on moderately dirty wheels, I found that for heavily caked-on brake dust, it required a bit of extra scrubbing or a second application. It does leave the wheels shiny, but I expected a little more "beast" in terms of power for tough jobs.Overall, it’s a solid product for routine cleaning, but if you have really dirty wheels, you might need to put in a bit more effort. Still, a good option for general wheel maintenance.

Best stuff I’ve used for brake dust and wheel buildup.

On AI’s suggestion I bought this to do a wheels off cleaning. I bought two bottles think I had a lot of work to do. I think I used 25% of one botttle. It works well and fast. A little agitation not scrubbing and it was all clean. I do recommend washing with dawn afterwards. And wear eye protection. I got overspray in my eyes and it does mess you up.

This isn’t a paid review, as you can see in the my wheels look brand new now. Grab this spray and a scrub daddy and get to scrubbing the dirt and grime comes off like butter!

Best wheel cleaner I’ve ever used… it’s expensive, but well worth it!
