Enter Car Guys. Yes, this stuff is spendy. And no, it's not perfect (more on that later). But it Just. Plain. Works.
Application is easy. Car Guys has a thick gel consistency that stays where you spray it. Just spray the wheel with the cleaner, let it sit five minutes and agitate with a soft brush (I use a long wheel brush for the inside face of the spokes and a big soft handled brush for the wheel face). Rinse thoroughly. For stubborn stains or heavy buildup agitate the offending area again and rinse. To stop any water spots I blast the wheels with compressed air after washing to dry them off.
Since Car Guys is a gel, it really sticks to the wheels. That leads to the main challenge, which is getting it ALL off the wheels. You can't just hit the wheels with a low-pressure stream of water and expect it to come off easily. A high -pressure nozzle on a garden hose just about does it, but a pressure washer does a better job.
My wheels look better than they have since I've owned my car. It takes less time to get them looking good. And getting every bit of dirt and brake dust off means that subsequent cleanings are quicker and they look better between cleanings. That makes Car Guys a winner in my book.
The pictures attached are of my 26-year-old wheels after cleaning today. They really do look that good!
Update... I bought this stuff back in May. It gets used every two weeks on my Miata (my daily driver has easy-to-clean wheels so I save the good stuff for the BBS wheels). I'm just now ordering another bottle. When the manufacturer says you don't need a lot they really mean it. A little goes a long way, and it still does a great job on my wheels without attacking or otherwise damaging either the painted or clearcoated sections. Great stuff!

This was my process: I shook the bottle and sprayed each rim so they were all coated with the product. The bottle suggested leaving it on for a minimum of 3-5 minutes, so I left it on for maybe 10 before going to check on it. The bottle said to lightly agitate the product with a cloth or sponge to loosen up the gunk. I used a magic eraser. To be honest, I was sure I had an extra sponge under the kitchen sink, but I was wrong. I did find a magic eraser though, so I went with it. I was really surprised how much crap was coming off my rims. They already looked loads better. So I left the product to sit a little while longer, came back and did a scrub again. The directions suggest using a high pressure washer to remove the product, so I took my vehicle to the do-it-yourself carwash and did just that. My rims look WAY better. I still see a few spots I could have gotten better, but I have plenty of product left to work on it again another day, because the directions specifically say you don't need to use too much.
I've never used anything like this before, so I have no basis for comparison. Is there something out there that takes all that gunk off in a flash, without a ton of work? Did my use of a magic eraser aid the product in doing its job? I have no idea. But I do think my rims look a lot better, so that's a win for me.
Ok, I'm a fanatic when it comes to keeping my rides clean. I ordered this product simply because it was new and I have never seen it before. I just had new tires put on my 2000 BMW 5series with BBS wheels. Was not sure about the product, or whether or not to use it on my wheels. Therefore I took out my spare wheel which was really, really dirty from brake dust and grime and tar. The inside of the wheel had years of buildup of brake dust and whatever, nearly Black on the inside of the wheel. I flipped the wheel over and sprayed the inside with the cleaner, waited about 5-6 minutes. Then used jet nozzle full force to rinse it off. However only a little of the grime came off. I decide to use a wet brush, and I be DAMMED! with very, I mean VERY little effort with the brush the dirt just started to fall off! I then sprayed it again and reapplied the cleaner again since this was a spare wheel. and the wheel is just as clean INSIDE and OUT! and looks almost new, I wished I had taken before and after photos, this stuff has to be the best wheel cleaner out there. I have used them all and none of them compare to this stuff. I still think its a little expensive, but I guess you get what you pay for. needless to say I finished all the wheels and the wheels on my mustang. Regardless of the price I already ordered another Bottle. And thanks you guys for the coupon code!. If you want clean wheels with little effort get this stuff you definitely will not be disappointed.
