Wheel cleaner?
Hi there. Have a 2018 s3 with 19” wheels and OEM brakes. What is everyone’s favorite wheel cleaner?
I tried Adam’s wheel and tire cleaner undiluted with foam sprayer and wasn’t nearly strong enough. Also sonax and wasn’t happy.
Then Adam’s wheel cleaner (blue stuff) diluted 1:3 and quite a bit better but still didn’t get everything.
Now I have megs wheel brightener I have yet to use. Anyone use this on this wheels yet? I’m assuming it’s safe? Dilution recommendations? I’ve read this is arguably the most powerful out there.
Ideally Id like to find something that gets it all with rinse, spray, wait, quick agitate and rinse off. But maybe impossible with these OE brakes?

I'm curious as to what kind of brush you used with this cleaner. Wheel Cleaner Plus is pretty intense stuff and I've had great success removing years of stubborn grime from my trucks wheels with it. Maybe try a different brush with it? I've had good success with Detailed Images EZ Detail Brushes

Agree with WHiteshodow89 in that you may not have a wheel cleaner issue - even scrubbing with ONR works. What was initial condition of wheels? Is it possible that they were not in perfect shape to begin with?

I've been using Black Magic ceramic wheel cleaner. Along with a set of detailing brushes I picked up at meijer. Nice thing about this stuff is that it leaves a ceramic coating, so the wheels have some protection from brake dust and the elements.
