## Description

Sonax Wheel Cleaner Plus's acid-free, pH-balanced formula is safe on all wheels and will not damage wheels. Safe on various wheel surfaces, including: chrome, aluminum, steel, clear coated, PVD, painted, plastic hubcaps, magnesium, and aftermarket wheels. Watch the color change activate when it comes into contact with ferrous metals (iron) from brake dust or other dirt and grime. Wheel Cleaner Plus sprays on clear and then turns deep red or purple as it dissolves brake dust. The advanced and effective chemistry in Wheel Cleaner Plus clings to and emulsifies stubborn, baked-on brake dust. Simply spray on, let it work, watch for color change, stir if necessary, and rinse with water. For best results, rinse with high-pressure water. Wheel Cleaner Plus is an extra-strong formula for European cars with hard-to-clean wheels due to high heat and brake dust. SONAX Wheel Cleaner Plus is ideal for all vehicles, including Mercedes, Audi, BMW, Volvo, and many others. Effortlessly achieve shiny wheels that make your vehicle look as if it just rolled off the showroom floor. Wheel Cleaner Plus must be used on cool, dry wheels. Product is ready-to-use; do not dilute with water. *Be careful when applying this product to anodized wheels and brake systems—test in an inconspicuous area before use. Use SONAX Wheel Cleaner Plus to safely clean dirt and brake dust, even on hard-to-reach wheel arches and brake calipers.

Review: Best wheel cleaner - I first bought Sonax Wheel cleaner from Auto Geek. On 3 of our vehicles I have polished 2 piece billet wheels. Our other vehicles the wheels are painted. I have bought every type of wheel cleaner from the local stores over the years and it's either etched my wheels or does a poor job cleaning them. I end up spending hours polishing out the etch and trying to get them clean. One set of wheels the 'local' cleaners discolored the black and left a 'run' look, that was an expensive clean. If you read the bottles it tells you to test in a hidden area, well that doesn't tell you everything. About 5 years ago I figured I would try Sonax Wheel cleaner from Auto Geek when I was getting supplies. I first tried it out on the painted wheels and was amazed. I even let it dry. It has never etched or discolored the polished wheels, painted wheels or harmed any of the Brembo and Baer Calipers. You can let it dry and go back and rinse it off with no harm. First thing I do is spray all 4 wheels. It is not zero free scrubbing, you still need to do a little scrubbing but it is effortless because it gets in the cracks and around the lug nuts. It cleans the rotors and calipers good. I even spray it on the exhaust tips and in the inner fender wells. It's also not harsh to breath like some wheel cleaners. It turns a purple red as it cleans. Everyone I have gave some to try has bought it. Twice a year I buy a 5 liter pail. I typically wash at least 3 of our cars once a week. desertcart does not always have the 5 liter and I want pay the price of the individual spray bottles because I use so much so I don't always buy it on desertcart. If I was desperate I would buy the single bottle though. I have probably tried 30 different types of wheels cleaners and I do not like any of them. I am sure there are other great wheel cleaners out there but I have not needed to look. If the price goes up I will, but until then, I will buy it again and again.
Review: Amazing product - Sonax is an excellent tool for cleaning your wheels of brake dust. Both application and removal are simple. Although this product is a little pricy, I would still recommend it. Additionally, I would strongly advise purchasing the 5 L if you plan to use this frequently.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simply the best stuff
*by N***K on February 11, 2024*

This is basically a Decon remover. I have use this on a civic type R and Mercedes C 63S. Both cars produce massive amounts of brake dust especially the Mercedes. I literally do not even touch the wheels when using this product. I spray it on let it sit for about two minutes and hose it off or power wash it off. Don’t get me wrong it is pretty pricey but totally worth it especially if you have a busy schedule and don’t have time to be scrubbing your wheels. I’ve been buying the 169 ounce container for around $100 and again for me it’s worth it. Every time I clean my wheels I use approximately 56 ounces in a pump sprayer so for every bottle I get about three uses out of it. I probably use more than needed but that’s because I don’t want to scrub my wheels. There are other Decon remover‘s out there but I prefer this one
