Meguiars Ultimate All Wheel Cleaner Versus Bilt Hamber Auto wheels - Which one Dominates?

[@kikcodog]

Megs has 2 classes of products, a professional line and a consumer line. The consumer line (the "Ultimate" line) is meant to be idiot proof. They make a much stronger and thicker Meguiar's D1801 Wheel & Paint Iron DECON - Pro-Strength Iron Remover, for professionals and "Prosumers" That Megs Ultimate wheel cleaner bottle you have in the video is sold everywhere here in the US. You can walk into some supermarkets and home improvement type stores and find it. Typically it's around $9US

[@barrydavid8331]

Plus BH make the best trigger sprays around,making the overall experience even better.

[@RazorsEdg3]

That's something most people don't think about but I also find the BH trigger & spray the best in market.

[@davidrobinson4400]

Mr Muscle products use the same triggers on their products, so I'm guessing they're not exclusive to BH. On the plus side it means you can use them to hold different concentrations of BH products and benefit from the trigger design.

[@chillisauce6079]

Auto Wash is shite. Needed 1/3 of a bottle to get any suds. Got hard water though.

[@ninjabob8170]

Chilli Sauce never had an issue round here, not sure on the water hardness though. 👍🏻

[@markkerr3761]

@@chillisauce6079 I think you're potentially missing the point with auto wash.... As with all BH products, it's not about suds or glamorous packaging... Their products are results oriented and I've yet to find a shampoo that cleans as good and DOESN'T leave a greasy, waxy residue. That being said, I but 7.5ml in a 10 litre bucket and I get plenty of suds, maybe you need to put about .5l in the bottom of the bucket, add the auto wash, then blast your water in, or perhaps you just need more water pressure?

[@chillisauce6079]

@@markkerr3761Not really, I know what BH are about and I use a lot of their products which I rate highly. However this doesn't work for me. I like some lubrication when I'm contact washing and this product doesn't offer that which I believe is partly down to my tap water being hard. As for cleaning power, there is little dirt on the car at the contact wash stage so this isn't an important factor for me.

[@markkerr3761]

@@chillisauce6079 I guess it must be the water then because I get plenty of suds and lubrication, even with 5-7.5ml per 10 litres of warm water. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree 👍🏼

[@AHumbleStreamer]

I very rarely use these sorts of products tbh. I use EZ Car Care Viper diluted down to 10:1. It's £28 for 5 litres so at that dilution ration I get 50 litres for £28! Because its so cheap I can really go mad with the application and it works an absolute treat on my Alfa's wheels, which are well maintained and cleaned weekly. I only use fallout removers when I'm dealing with really disgustingly dirty wheels with embedded iron contamination. Because I use them so rarely I just keep a few bottles of one I find on offer knocking around. Got 2 bottles of the TurtleWax one in their build-a-bucket deal!

[@jamesbutler606]

I've been watering down my BH AW with SHD and a bit of water - works a treat cleans, de-irons and substantially reduces the cost.

[@michaelkindheart]

I'm looking at replacing valet pro bilberry wheel cleaner which I've used for years due to being able to dilute it. I want to switch to BH AW so I can use it all over the car as a wheel cleaner and fallout remover but it's double the price in 5l form to bilberry cleaner. How have you found AW when you've watered it down and how much have you diluted it and sill found it effective? Also what is SHD? questionsquestions!

[@treebutcher2000]

SHD I assume is surfex HD, another product from bilt hamber.

[@adambarrs92]

Used bilt hamber today and couldn't believe how good it was. Caked on brake dust from race compound pads... Was thinking I'd have to get the wheels refurbed. BH removed it all despite having to give it a few goes and a bit of a scrub.

[@ToshYusaf]

I like the dirt simulator test; I would have thought Megs would have been a bit better than a pure fallout remover. But then you’ve proved that wrong. Thanks.

[@ldtriton]

How about doing this exact same test with BH vs. Eagle One Black and Plasticoat wheel cleaner. I think that would be a much better match up.

[@AndyfromSurrey]

I bought & used Maguires and was impressed. When it ran out I decided to try BH instead as seen your reviews on their products. I think the BH is better. My reasons are it’s cheaper & I don’t think you need as much.

[@ForensicDetailing]

the speed of the reaction of this product is unrivalled. but it also just seems to do a better job cleaning out and breaking down the dirt in the wheel. its an incredible product. The icing on the cake is its considerable cheaper as well. I have a lot of trust and respect for megs but its out gunned here.

[@alanpilkington149]

With these kind of products I've always cleaned the wheel first with a wheel cleaner that can be diluted then used a product like these once a month. Very expensive if you just use these all the time.

[@ForensicDetailing]

makes a lot of sense that alan.

[@TerrificFlow]

It was supposed to be a decomtamination product a few years ago with product like IronX, then it became a hype argument to sell wheel cleaners that cost 3-4 times what you could get. What i think meguiars have done, is a wheel cleaner that clings to the surface a lot more (gel-like), foams more hence being less concentrated in active ingredients for rust removal compared to BH

[@DiegoRodriguez-wj2nb]

I completely agree with you Alan. I was just about to make the same comment. I use Iron X on my wheels only once a month, and wash them weekly with Meg's wheel brightener.

[@ForensicDetailing]

@@TerrificFlow It foams a little bit more.. but this whole like "cling" thing... I hear what your saying, but "lack of cling" is never really a problem for me with a spray on product.. but could it be possible they use low levels of TGA because thats quite an expensive component? dunno.. the megs product does clean wheel well... but the BH results were much better.

[@stuartmolyneux64]

I hit my wheels with a cheaper PH neutral surfactant-based cleaner first, agitate, rinse, then hit them with the fallout remover-based wheel cleaner about once a month. My surfactant based wheel cleaner only works out to be £2.60 per litre, whereas the Fallout Remover wheel cleaner product is £11 per litre. Once thing i might do in future is use an IK Foamer for my surfactant wheel cleaner or use a car shampoo with gloss enhancers diluted in an IK foamer after using the Fallout Remover to give the wheels a nice glossy shine.

The Bilt Hamber is superb, but i won't buy it again until they sort out the fact that the bottles stink whilst idle on the shelf. 1 litre of Angelwax Revelation is £11 per litre and it only smells bad when you use it or take the top off.

[@ContactFault]

So I’ve been using the maguires stuff. Does a fantastic job of clearing the crap off your wheels. So what do I do to keep the brake discs clean? Start the car, floor it. Brake hard. Reverse, floor it brake hard. Discs are shiny every time. Yet I’ve just ordered a bottle of boot hamber 😂

[@charlesluck8921]

In the UK, the Meguiars is an imported product, whereas the in the US, the Bilt Hamber is an imported product, and I am not willing to pay $30 for a 1L bottle of wheel cleaner.

[@ForensicDetailing]

Yes we talk about this a lot. You are right

[@COHE]

i can't understand how Megs(and other companies) can justify the price of products like this. I suppose if you're the type of person who gets everything in Halfords without research you would probably just buy it. For me its crazy.

[@tonymattisson6158]

Have you looked at the prices of UK brands in the US or other places in EU even? Some can be a little close to your prices. This BH Auto-Wheel Cleaner in Sweden is around £17. The BH Auto-Foam 5L is £34 and the BH Cleanser Fluid 500ml is £20. Angelwax except the Enigma line is double of the price pretty much of every product. And AW you can not import your self from the UK as it's a thing AW don't allows. And for us US brands and especially Meguiars is even worse. Most products is double or tripple of the price vs what you get from the US and that's the retail prices and they like to have sales over there LOL. The Meguiars Ultimate All Wheel Cleaner is around your price as just over £15. But that's often when the chemical in the product like the bleeding chemical which always forget what's called gets a price quite simualar over the world. The Meguiars Hyper Dressing 1 gallon is £115 and the Wheel Brightener 1 gallon is £55. Just to get some products prices here in Sweden which includes taxes. I like BH and AW products a lot of those products I have used so far. But man I haved tried many more with the prices in the UK. And I think that the prices is even higher in the US of BH products than we have here in Sweden. Just looked up what BH Auto-Wheel Cleaner 1L costs on the one of two webshops in the US I have seen has BH products and it was £23. So there are differences if it's domestic brands you buy or imported ones. We have a few good brands but not many with top notch products.

Prices are set by Meguiars UK, and the import costs contribute to that. You can normally pick up the Megs for 11-12 quid delivered

[@ForensicDetailing]

defo some expensive. a lot of american products which are awesome or strong US prices can have really bad UK prices. meguiars can be unpredicatable. I thought say 20 quid for hybrid ceramic wax was competative with UK market and good price. their paste waxes are good price.... but then like that ultimate snow foam was very expensive (to the point where people were upset) and something like this with RRP 16 pounds is very very expensive. Like tosh says it can be bought for a lot cheaper (its even 12 quid right now in halfords I think).

If Auto Wheel isn't good as a degreaser then what's the benefit of using it over using Korrosol? That's very disappointing! I've always used Korrosol for body and wheel decontamination and never had any complaints, it doesn't actually smell *that* bad either. I bought Auto Wheel recently just to try it out and I have to say it sprays more easily so it's a less viscous product but I can't say I notice a great difference in performance between the two other than AW maybe not drying out as quickly.

One benefit to Meguiar's Ultimate Wheel Cleaner is that it can be used on all wheel surfaces. Not sure about Bilt Hamber since it is not available in the states.

[@delphinebez3045]

I never clean my wheels with such products, unless I need a clean slate before waxing. I actually wash my alloy wheels and wheel barrels every 8/ days with my regular soap, whoolies and brushes. I took them off the other day, they look brand new ! I will then use Carpro Iron X followed by an APC. And that is every 6 months only. Since I protect them with Collinite 845 topped with Beadmaker, wheel cleaners are unnecessary and too abrasive IMO.

[@stuartmolyneux64]

I suspect that a more cost effective way of cleaning dirty wheels could be a 1:10 dilution of APC (Surfex), followed by a light spray of Auto Wheels or possibly 1:1 dilution of Auto Wheels because you would require less of the expensive product after using a relatively small amount of APC.

[@Matt-bt7ej]

Thats exactly what I do too. Surfex removes a serious amount of dirt and contaminant, then autowheel just removes the bonded contaminants. Just using autowheel on its own sometimes needs a second hit as its fully reacted with the stuff that isn't bonded with nothing left for the stuff that is.

What is the difference between BH auto wheel and Korrosol?

[@stevelewis7207]

I spoke to the incredibly helpful Emily at Bilt Hamber last month and asked her this exact question. Auto Wheel is apparently slightly more clingy / viscous, and so is more suitable for a ‘vertical’ surface. She said that their composition is extremely similar, and that neither will damage paintwork in any way. Hope that helps. 👍

They are a small family owned and run business and manufacturer their own products in Belfast, Northern Ireland supplying the trade and those in the know 😉. I've been using the stuff for over 30 years now and used neat or up to 5:1 and not just on wheels and tires but engine bays ect.

[@joshwilcox8483]

People that buy most of megs stuff aren’t as into maintaining cars as people watching this video, think about it like this If a monkey can use it without damaging the car then the average joe can’t

Never used BH but a very good cleaner and fall out remover as I tend to use Autoglyms magma as it does the job for me

HEY, Hey, hey stop getting your younger brother to do the product comparison mash-up!

[@andrewmcnamara6857]

Would you lay a layer of foam over the Auto wheels to give some extra lubricity and add some degreasing capabilities

[@andyfairchild2383]

Nice one Jon, a question though. Would either of the these be safe to use on wheels that have been ceramic coated? I’m getting a little build up of contamination in inaccessible areas that BH might shift, but the wheels have been treated with gtechniq coating.

Tried the meg;'s ultimate wheel cleaner 2 weeks ago, Very disappointed, my old Tesco own brand wheel cleaner performed better...thats saying something!

I use BH in the winter when it's too bloody cold to do a contact wash and jet wash it off, incredible stuff 👍🏻

[@davidcolasurdo2282]

Maguiera is awful took the chrome off my gmc it just pealed off had to buy new wheels ill never use it again

[@adr0110]

Cracking video as always!! Should these be avoided on alloys that are ceramic coated?

[@MrZimmaframe]

I think the BH is 30%, Maguire's is 10%. Correct me if I am wrong.

Hi John. Have you tried Poorboys Spray And Rinse Wheel Cleaner? On moderately dirty wheels, I don't have to make any contact when using this! God knows what they put in it, I dread to think!

[@ForensicDetailing]
