Regardless of what the bottle says, I always agitate the cleaner to ensure what dirt is there is removed from the surface plus it helps move the product around to places that didn't get as much spray and it helps avoid product drying before rinsing....

this is bullshit test on older car wheels.?>

[@Jay_Ira]

Thanks for putting this video together. I'll be checking out that Turtle Wax cleaner now. Keep up the great work.

[@audieconrad8995]

Gr8 vid. I've been using the TW with satisfying results. I am from the school of really clean rims/tires/exhaust tips & general trim are what make the rest of the car (paint) REALLY pop. To me it makes the difference between "meh" or "wow!" Shine on you crazy diamonds!

[@Near2Future]

Only thing I will say. If you're using it on your tyres you might need to replased the UV protective layer as the cleaner might strip or damage it.

[@Carlos.Rivera]

Thats happen when you use degreaser

[@j-sonS]

I used up a gallon of brake buster and it was nice, also used up griot, and used up simple green...now I'm using turtle wax hybrid and so far it smells the best and I'm a fan of it

[@therealdrivermod4926]

Would nice to see it on a wheel that’s actually dirty

[@PedjoGT]

I think that Sonax destroy my two rims...after 2 mins i washed and after that i see bubbles on wheels in nut area!!! I do what instructions say on original car rims and two survive and two is ruined....any advice?

[@DAutomaton]

Could you update videos like this, to see the meguiars and turtle wax tyre gel please.

[@MKM_RIVAL_]

Always had a detailer wash my scat was wondering what is the best product for scat pack rims ? I have a 22 thank you

P&S all the way 👍🏻 ouch ! Wheel weights on the outside of a Mercedes rim ? Ouch !!

[@carbuying]

Love using the P&S

[@carbonoxx]

one bottle will only last a few car washes............too expensive to use

[@carbuying]

But necessary when your wheels are very dirty

It's not the product doing the cleaning trust me it's the pressure washer

[@conned]

Hi, I've used them all, Sonax is the strongest, don't let it sit too long, or use on warm tyres or in direct sunlight, I made that mistake of not working fast enough n other rims on other side of car were exposed to sunlight n after all the purple grimes dried, n I rinsetoff, the Sonax eats into my E55 powder coated AMG rims. Cost me $$$ to get Benz to respray 2 rims!.& I had to wear a mask because it really stinks toxic! I find Turtle wax works best while being gentle, even in Sunlight. Meguiars all wheel gentle too n can used on paintwork to remove iron,tar. .. Important thing is to coat rims after dry so it has some protection from brake dust,tar,road grime, harder for these to bond to rims, n easier to clean off . I used Gyeon WetCoat, spray on n rinse!. Not endorsing any brand.just sharing honest experience. Thank you sir for demo n effort. Have fun, stay safe!

[@carbuying]

good tip!

[@zaganfallenengel]

Excellent video sir, I've just bought meg's cleaner and after seeing this video I'll definitely try Turtle wax cleaner also, thanks for sharing.

[@carbuying]

Glad you liked it!

[@john2ndname]

The best way to properly clean a wheel is to take the wheel off the car and clean it inside out!

[@BMan100]

Autoglym Magma...still my go to, since 6 pot brembo challenger.. lol the worst is still the front discs... should have also done it with a garden hose cause some people don't have pressure washers

[@davidbean7527]

Excellent video comparison. I now know, which tire cleaners are the best.

[@calebintal806]

Love this even more because I have those exact rims and have trouble cleaning them!

[@junklemon]

Thanks for this!! Exactly what i needed. Can't wait for the next part!

[@revvedandrooted]

what pressure washer are you using?

[@chrisengel7354]

😆 🤣 😂, give me $12 in a foam sprayer bottle and I will have over 50 bottles of THE BEST WHEEL AND TIRE CLEANER EVER!!!!!

[@dretrunkslumpdrizzah]

Okay great video however, there's two issues I have with this. One you have 5 cleaners and 4 wheels 🤔 Second after 6 months the front wheels would have way more brake dust than the rear wheels... 🤷‍♀️🙋🤷🏼

[@meme5887]

My personal favorite is the videos of rims with literal dirt, no prewash, no scrubbing and make you think the product removed everything when literally 90% of what just came off was with the water.

[@rdeh1678]

Avoid using a all in one wheel cleaner thou it may work it will over long term cause premature lose of natural oils and will dry the tire , leading to cracking of the tire which may lead tire failure

[@LordHog]

Nice round up, Jeff. Have you ever used some of the Car Guys products for cleaning wheels?

[@carbuying]

Not yet!

[@serenadelicata6748]

just started watching ur videos and they are super helpful. right down to the point, ur super helpful and have saved me from buying the wrong products

[@luigiviking3667]

Well this is not a true test because you're not using like a truck rim that's been on and off dirt for a while but and also you spend a but you are so that's kind of annoying

[@sldetailing2953]

You have magnificent video equipment. Please update us more videos!!! It’s a pleasure to watch it.

[@carbuying]

Thank you, I will

[@SLLLC-904]

I’ve heard just a degreaser mixed with dawn dish soap will work just as good, followed by a protectant!!! Not sure if that’s true or not, but I would like your thoughts on that.

[@Charles-lane277]

Needs to be tested on a much dirtier wheel

[@derbigpr500]

If you really need to clean the wheels that are very dirty, like after a track day, Sonax is unmatched. It's really strong at taking care of the metal dust buildup, but it also requires care while working with it, don't let it sit for too long, and don't let it get dry on you, if it does, it's a pain to remove.

[@RonnRicco]

So which one is the best for protection and tire glaze? Endurance Tire Gel or Turtlewax tire shine?

[@carbuying]

We will show it on the next video when it is completed

[@RonnRicco]

@@carbuying I hope it's the one I already bought ;) lol

[@marcuss8770]

Omg 6months of not cleaning the rims? My Impreza litterally look like that efter like 2weeks🤣

[@carbuying]

🤭

[@86_corolla84]

2 weeks? Damn, my avalon gets dirty tires the next day after I spent hours cleaning them

[@johncrankshaft2886]

Pad compound has alot to do with buildup, the Brembo pads on my car shed dust like crazy specially so after i upgraded the brake hoses BUT i will take braking over dust any day.

[@Helpfulsuggestions]

This was my first time cleaning my wheels in at least 6 years!!! I bought Turtle Wax 53734 Hybrid Solutions 1st I tried just spaying it on and seeing if it would work. Lol. Nope !!!! Not even Next I sprayed and brushed clean the wheels. Yes this works on really heavy black break dust. But it took 4 times to get it almost perfect without removing the wheels to get around the lugs. But it’s definitely a good cleaner Without any hard scrubbing. Turtle Wax 53734 Hybrid Solutions Because without out using it nothing comes off as easily. But if your like me looking to clean wheels In really bad shape. Except to use a brush and spend time cleaning the wheels about 4 times to get it streak free. But no hard scrubbing.

[@715thug]

Wow I needed this video. Thanks

[@carbuying]

Glad it was helpful!

[@wescat2]

This is a good comparison. One note. Sonax WCP is their strongest wheel cleaner per their SDS. Stronger than The Beast. But pretty expensive at $25. TW Iron Decon then sprayed with Wheel and Tire cleaner is a can't miss combo.

[@maxtorque5329]

The red turtle wax doesn't work well on black rims..it removes the shine and leave scratch marks..plus it stinks really bad

[@chrisbradley3224]

Those two aren’t pH balanced… Brake Buster is pH 10 and Hyperfoam is 13. They are very caustic.

[@rserra60]

IronX...serious removal without having to do it over and over. With these products, you would run out with four tires.

[@MichaelOnRockyTop]

Very thorough video. What kind of solution did you have in your wash bucket?

[@clints8888]

good video, but what about value for money as most of them are a waste as you can use 1\2 a bottle on 4 wheels

[@meanf1502]

Wonder what one's are safe for anodized wheels I have red anodized in the center of my wheels

[@singingwithryanbarker8772]

USE DAWN DISh WASHING SOAP. For CARS.

[@Vex22778]

Do not do that it will absolutely annihilate your wax and clearcoat

[@MMGDESIGNKING]

You miss a spot

[@kcorpora1]

Hi, what type of pressure washer do you use?

[@clbdyc]

The best? Easy Off oven cleaner.

[@conned]

Sonax very strong n caustic, took out my Magnesium AMG rims. Top coat abrased n smudges.. Love TW,,use them now

[@meme5887]

That's sounds expensive... If I was using something strong on something expensive I def would've tested it on the inside of the rim right behind the spokes

[@Саша-п5я7р]

Can you rank this chemistry from best to worst?

[@betterthanideserve76]

Where is NanoSkin?

[@scundoorsup5342]

You don’t need a pressure sprayer

[@leotorito]

[@Burgie86]

Great video comparison! I have long been a Sonax guy, but have been using P&S when the tires need some love. P&S definitely needs agitation to be truly effective. Great to see TW giving them a run for their money. Thanks for this!

[@RICHYSUNCLE]

Hi jeff

[@josephgarcia3538]

what do you think of the Turtle wax Wheel Cleaner with Iron Remover as a wheel and tire cleaner?

[@carbuying]

We have done it this way for maximum coverage. Even tried Turtle Wax and Meguiars with the iron dust dissolving formula

[@CostantineYoussif]

Very nice review, how you can protect your wheel after ? Is any kind of wheel wax or something? Thanks

[@dexio8601]

Yes you can use just normal spray wax or a silica sealant like carpro reload there are many to chose from...

[@CostantineYoussif]

@@dexio8601 can I use turtle wax ceramic coating on the rim ? 🤔

[@watuzi]

Nice review, Jeff. I use the P&S Brake buster. It works really well. Agitation is the key. Elbows and assholes, right?

[@carbuying]

es, love the P&S. I buy it by the gallon and refill my sprayers

[@txzjoe534]

@@carbuying What’s your dilution ratio? and what bottle size?

[@bobvee1694]

Save your money, Simple Green spray works great.

[@carbuying]

It does not dissolve iron brake dust

[@christopher6334]

It sure doesn’t

[@hartlanddetailer5670]

Not all cleaners are created equal? Depending on driving conditions, about 1, 2, 3, or 4 times a year, you should clean wheels with an iron remover. Brake Buster can be diluted, and is the most reasonable priced. All of these cleaners will perform well on most wheels, but as you said, not all will clean tires. Brake Buster is a good maintenance cleaner, but does not contain iron remover. It will clean both, as stated. I would buy Brake Buster and a wheel & paint safe iron remover, so it can be a dual purpose iron remover. Always read label instructions, because your wheels may NOT be safe with an iron remover? Thanks!

[@christophergeorge8800]

Hey, why was Chemical Guys not included? Geez

[@jeffreyrobert9460]

Interesting . I use both Brake Buster and Hybrid Solutions . I use Brake Buster in a foam cannon and blast the wheels and tires. Then I spray Hybrid Solutions on top. Let dwell a few minutes

[@carbuying]

Great minds think alike, never though it would foam up in a soap cannon

[@zzmalone6720]

Great video Jeff! Thanks for the info. Well done as always! 👍🏻

Thanks glad you liked it

[@dtna]

I agree with you. I used the P&S in an Ik foamer with a 4:1 dilution. I also tried the TW. But the P&S is more economical. P21S is junk and expensive these days.

[@MrArizona.33]

can we dilute the TW? cause they have a 1 Gallon sale and its cheaper then the P&S

Im sorry but dual purpose products are always worst than 1 that is formulated for that type of job. Professionals detailers never chose dual or all in 1 products
