NEW! BLACK WHEEL CLEANER | Meguiars Hot Rims Black Wheel Cleaner

[@josephdefreitas56]

Always love these real world tests that you carry out. Saves viewers / detailers a ton of wasted money with products that dont really work as advertised

[@imjoshv]

Thanks!

[@markblankenship984]

I really appreciate all the effort and time you put into reviewing these products so the rest of us don't have to or maybe aren't really able to. Thank you a ton, bro. From a detailer in west virginia, you have saved me a ton of money, most the things I've wanted to try I've been able to find one of your videos about it. 👊

[@tsmith3096]

Glad to see this review. I have a new BMW with gloss black and have been wondering what would be best. Don’t wanna mess them up!

[@imjoshv]

Perfect!

[@mutatedgenome]

Congratulations on 100K subs Josh.

[@imjoshv]

Thanks!

[@broncoramfan]

Thanks for review. I have black wheels n been looking for something. Had really high hopes for this. I like meguiars products. My wheels are all glossy so I still think I will try it out. Thanks once again for review

[@mikejazz5116]

Josh. I am impressed with your level of research. Nice work.

[@cpftank09]

Thank you for the honest reviews! I stick with Megs D143, it’s hard to beat for the price. I know there’s better out there, but a gallon that’s dilute-able and cleans tires well is hard to find.

[@diylife9118]

Josh Thanks for the review! I like Meg's products, finding newer reviews on their products is rare. Thanks again

[@JJS432]

KCX MWC for satin black wheels. Expensive but probably the only product out there that you can truly spray on and pressure rinse off.

[@SSCamaro_Sno]

Meguiars All Wheel cleaner is the best one they have out

[@junyer55]

This is good stuff,very detailed information really appreciate the awesome content you bring to us.Thank you!

[@koreywilliams4570]

I want to try to paint my rims this year. I thought about buying new ones but I don't really care about the style. Just want the color to match.

[@Ray00069]

I will always stick the hot wheels purple bottle. Always worked great for my black gloss wheels on my trucks

[@ryanperreault4848]

I have a brand new 2024 4Runner with 20 inch black XP gunner alloy wheels. I only went 3 or 4 weeks without cleaning them and tried this out on the brake dust that accumulated. Followed the directions to a T and was very disappointed to see it did nothing.

[@Pittsburgh-412]

I've been using adams wheel and tire cleaner for a while now and I highly recommend it 👌

[@Endorion_YTC]

DO NOT use dawn dish soap unless your car isn't really that expensive. Dawn strips car wax especially on the wheels. It doesn't remove iron fallout/brake dust the best than Meguiars All Wheel Cleaner. ALWAYS use the right chemicals for a specfic job. Dawn is only great for a strip wash to prep the paint to put any protective coating like wax, ceramic coating, paint sealant after.

Another honest review, thanks Josh! Just bought some stuff from you and am excited to try them out. Can you do some reviews on Poorboy’s World and Griot’s. Specifically PW’s Natural Look and Bold N Bright, Griot’s Speed Shine, Boss line of compounds, sealants, and wax. Thanks for the videos!

Just bought the Hot Wheels this week. Been waiting for it to stop raining here in Huntington Beach to wash my 4Runner with TRD satin rims. After wash looking for protection on them. Was going to try. chemical guys meticulous matte detailer or Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Wax Coating. Your thoughts? Great video appreciate all your hard work as always.😁

[@meanf1502]

What about black with a red anodized face for this wheel cleaner

[@larryblanchard2290]

Thanks for this...what cleaner should I use for black wheels? You mention that Koch is one of your favorites...are you recommending this for black rims as well?

[@jyo8914]

Thanks for the honest review! I have matte black wheels on my 2021 4Runner (TRD Pro wheels) and looking for a good alternative, but this doesn't seem to be the right one. THX!

[@imjoshv]

Yea trd pro wheels can be a pain… they look great though!

[@ccaudell8643]

What do you recommend for cleaning the black Toyota TRD matte wheels? I can’t find anything that works lol.

[@dennysheldon1682]

Hey Josh, I was looking through your video's and I don't see one on tips for cleaning honeycomb grills. Do you have one or can you do one with a cleaner you would recommend? I have an Alfa Romeo Giulia. Thanks!

[@snapshotprophotobooth1864]

I had better results, I used a pressure sprayer to pre-rinse and the idea to pre-rinse first is to get the top layer off dirt and grim first so that the chemical can get to the hard stains and dissolve them off easier i see better results this way , then spray hot rims and let saturate for 1min, its like an oven cleaner you can see all the brown just melting off it took off brown rust like stains i had for over 20 years on a 1999 ford expedition, my rims look new. I couldn't believe how easy it was.i wish i could show you before an after pictures.

[@johnniejohnson8026]

Another great video Josh I do have one question do you ever try Jay Leno car cleaning products

[@new.generation.car.cleaning]

Thanks for this video. Can you make a video on armor all extreme wheel and tire cleaner please. People say its good but idk. thanks

[@jordangrose698]

My truck and my wife’s car have flat black wheels. It’s really hard to find anything that cleans them good. Wish this would have the one, but oh well

[@ciscogarcia3463]

Yo Josh, can you review the new soap from STONERS they’re calling it MOAB….

[@larryc4156]

Josh, thanks for the detailed, informative review! A question for you on wheel care for gloss black wheels. Do you recommend any type of wheel wax or protectant like Meguiars max coat? Would love to see a review on these products. Thanks again for some of the most researched, unbiased and honest reviews on the web!

[@PimpSolja49]

I would stay away from wheel waxes or protectants unless you want to ceramic coat your wheels. if you use a spray wax you risk getting it on your brake pads and rotors which will affect breaking. Just my opinion.

[@renogunzddragon1900]

​@@PimpSolja49you can just spray on the microfibre cloth then coat the wheels

[@desi579]

I dont know if anyoen has already asked this question.... But what then is the PRODUCT to use on a NEW BLACK GLOSSY CERAMIC COATED WHEEL? What is safe and good? I dont think you mantoned one in this video. Thanks

[@MrBluesyoucanuse]

Homie! I need the reduction rates for the Technician Choice 582 Spray Ceramic for interiors. Full strength for maximum protection on exterior. 1:1 for a drying agent and what else? Thanks!!!

[@Selfdefense4k]

So what product do you actually use to clean black wheels?

[@Spadeondeck]

So what do you suggest on a matte satin wheel , my wheels have like a high shine look once cleaned but brake dust stays on my wheels😢

[@PeteyPablo408]

So what do you recommend for Chrome spoke wheels, and white walls on a harley davidson?

[@Americanboy5150]

What is the brand of your shelves on wall . Bottle holders ?

[@jevoncarrillo1100]

I used this product twice so far on gloss black rims and wasn’t impressed. I seen you agitate and results were better. I guess I’ll agitate next time haha

[@bfoley77]

Great review

[@1985NEVETS]

Does it have iron decon like Meguires all wheel cleaner? Not sure if you mentioned it or not.

[@valledecauca1087]

[@smoothoptics7791]

I would like your advice on something if you wouldn’t mind!?🙏🏾

[@josephdefreitas56]

is there actually ANY wheel product that you just spray on and rinse off that actually doesnt need agitation to get the wheels properly cleaned? Id really love to know lol

[@imjoshv]

On Black wheels i pretty much always have to do some sort of agitaion or final wipe. On normal silver alloy wheels though this stuff is amazing! Technicians Choice Brake-r: amzn.to/40xuHzp

[@bashfullJ88]

The Meguires ultimate wheel cleaner and Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions clean pretty good without agitation.

[@josephdefreitas56]

@@imjoshv for the most part i have found that a detergent like Dawn on a soft microfibre cloth and a good barell brush is as effective as it gets and loads cheaper than the "wheel cleaners". Maybe slightly more effort but they come out like new if they arent particularly gunked up.

What cleaner u recommend on gloss black

[@1964rmcc]

Hey Josh Im new here thanks for this review, I have gloss black wheels and have already noticed that they show scratches easily , I hope I can find this new cleaner and also the wheel wax or polish that you showed can you tell me wwhat its called ,thanks

[@richsmith3120]

Good review! I'd put a rating of 5 on it! Not that great and probably wouldn't remove heavy brake dust!

[@imjoshv]

Agreed!

[@anthonyallen3002]

Is it safe on painted rim

[@Westboundandown]

Question josh, I went into my local detail supplier looking for iron remover, they sold me aluminum brightener, their brand of course. Is aluminum brightener Similar to iron remover? Paint safe? Thanks

[@imjoshv]

Aluminum brightener is usually used as a wheel cleaner for certain types of wheels. Iron removers are designed to dissolve embedded iron deposits and usually have the color change effect or bleeding when its working. Aluminum Brighteners are also usually acid based as well and will have ph in the under 7 range. They may be some applications for paint (like possibly removing calcium deposits and water spots) but i wouldnt use it like an iron remover. You definitely want to be careful

[@derrickabare9986]

I have a buddy that is a distributor for carbrite and advanced detailing products. I asked him about iron remover as I use tw and was looking for something in not only bulk size but also more economical. He told me to try acid wheel cleaner at 10 to 1 or so . Rinse down , spray and use a mesh bug sponge. Rinse agian really good . Works great . Very little clay bar needed after . Very cost effective and doesn't hurt the paint.

[@Westboundandown]

@Derrick Abare ya I was unsure about the aluminum brightener. A gallon was only like 20 bucks so I'm not out alot. I'll probably just go with the turtle wax iron remover. I've seen good reviews.

[@Westboundandown]

@IMJOSHV - Car Detailing and Reconditioning Tips thank you for your response. I really appreciate it. Your reviews are great, I watched the one of your ryobi 1800 psi & bought the pressure washer the next day just as an extra

[@Timsautosolutions]

Cool video! Like all! Thanks

[@Joe-eg7ml]

Can you use these in regular colored wheels?

[@Austin23_23]

Have you tried breaker for wheels?

[@thezod2307]

When you have to scrub your wheels after applying the product, this might as well do absolutely nothing at all lol.

[@MrInternationalSound]

I bought it today. Waste of money just soap and scrub

[@marcokiki]

Dawn dish soap does a better job 🫤

[@mikehughes8023]

Depends on how dirty your wheels are prior to applying. It’s fine for removing brake dust but if you got caked on mud from off-roading you will be scrubbing regardless of the product.

[@thesamsquatch5224]

I don't believe it is acid basic as sulfonic acid are used in many soaps and detergents along with the petroleum and sodium salts. I think its to help with composition itself shouldn't play very much into the cleaners effect. It looks to be a little alkaline like you said

[@imjoshv]

Thank you for the clarification and that makes a lot of sense!

[@stevet8607]

​@@imjoshv did you you say this is good for Matte black wheels?

[@imjoshv]

Yea you still have to agitate for sure, but i think it gives a good amount of lubrication for that so it keeps your wheels safe

[@stevet8607]

@@imjoshv I might have to pick this up then appreciate it and keep up the good work 💯🔥

[@mitchelllong5848]

Eagle One used to make a Black wheel cleaner that I liked, I use that one, it has a iron remover built in

[@PimpSolja49]

It's all marketing! Try Dawn dish soap on your wheels and tell me if it doesn't do a way better job? Just use a proper microfiber wash cloth or wheel brush and you will be amazed!

[@Pearl3Drummer]

You can use the cheapest wheel cleaner, agitate, rinse and dry and your good to go

[@jonathanlee5886]

So what do you recommend

[@bigcartoonyIIV]

I tried this stuff, and I only got one use out of it.

[@coreymerritt7742]

Well that’s kinda disappointing but congrats on the big 💯

[@imjoshv]

Thanks Corey! And yea its not a super aggressive cleaner, but i think they wanted to be safe on blacks wheels so that it doesnt stain. Overall a decent product and smells really good, but just wasnt what i was hoping for

[@dtna]

Josh, I much prefer your car detailing videos without the "add in" photos and sound effects. I like your regular videos without the editing. Just saying. After being bought out by 3M and with new products out there on the market, there is much more competition for detailing products

[@imjoshv]

Thanks for the input! I was like to try new things to keep the videos fresh but i appreciate your feedback!

[@dtna]

​@@imjoshv Thanks, Josh. I like the following YT videos... - IMVJOSH - DIY Videos & Interviews -The Rag Company - Esoteric - Apex Detail - Chicago Auto Pros No dog & pony, no entertainment, just honest product reviews, "how you do things" and detailing info. I think I spend too much time on social media and am retired now, but am trying to cut back. Keep up the good work!!!

[@fuffoon]

Nothing can help my wheels except another professional renovation. They are an embarrassment on an otherwise immaculate car. Bubbled all over where they filled. I had them done three years ago and they looked wonderful. Was is a bad job or did I use an incompatible product?

[@imjoshv]

What color/finish are the wheels? And what products did you use? One thing to note is to never let the cleaner dry on the wheel

[@kgamaseg]

Ok, do NOT use on stolen wheels, ya'll or childhood car toys.

[@paulwoodward3453]

I'll stick with Brake Buster.

[@hoss83]

I used this product on my black glossy rims and I had the same results…… it sucks. I still had to get out the soap,brushes and microfiber mitt to clean them. Not impressed.

[@phishy96]

based on everything you said in your review, its pretty much garbage, but yet you recommend..kind of confusing. But thanks anyways. I do enjoy your videos.

[@7limey]

I bought this stuff and you might as well blow on your wheels really hard it'll do about the same amount of nothing

[@imjoshv]

On black wheels I’m assuming? Yes I was bummed by that too. I was really hoping for something that would work significantly better than anything else on black wheels. This was fine if you agitate but then so are all the other wheels cleaners… I’d say my favorite on black wheels now is Koch chemie magic wheel cleaner. Still not perfect and you do have to agitate but it does a good job of pulling dirt out of the black

[@7limey]

@imjoshv Yeah on black wheels. Thanks for that I'll give that one a try, I live in alaska and these things are hard to keep clean

[@raldyjimenez3319]

I just use regular soap/Dawn and water and no issues...
