Why Use A Wheel Cleaner?

Wheel cleaners are great at getting in those tight spaces that you can’t quite reach, they offer a level of “get the dirt out” that you don’t get with soap and wash mitt. But it’s not just the fact that you can get in every nuck and cranny.

Using a Wheel Cleaner helps keep the brake dust off the car paintwork. If you are used to cleaning your car you will know what I mean when you wash your car with a mitt and some soap, you’re spreading the wheel muck all over and brake dust is made of particles of iron.

Iron isn’t something you want to be swirling around your paint, so it’s best to pull it all up and wash these with a Wheel Cleaner separate as the wheel cleaners can help pull the iron out and keep your wheels in great condition a lot longer.

5. Autoglym – Custom Wheel Cleaner

Autogylm is a great brand, they’ve been around for donkeys and offer brilliant products and their custom Wheel Cleaner isn’t something to shy away from.

Reading some reviews on Autoglym tell us that custom Wheel Cleaner is fast and easy to use, with only a slight need to scrub the wheel, but I think that depends on how mucky the wheel is.

Our rating for Autoglym is 4.5 / 5

The price for Autoglym 500ml is around £9

4. Wonder Wheels – Colour Active

This Wheel Cleaner is probably one of the most cost effective on the list, but don’t let that fool you, it’s one tough cookie that will get out super baked on dirt and grime on your wheels.

The general consensus for this Wheel Cleaner is its fast and effective, just spray on, leave to change colour and give it a blast off, no need for scrubbing, but some people claimed they needed a bit of a scrub to get them perfect:

Our rating for Wonder Wheels is 4.6 /5

The price for Wonder Wheels 600ml bottle is around £7

3. Auto Finesse – Iron Out

Probably one of the best brands on the market right now for cleaning gear is Auto Finesse. It’s popular and works a treat, we recently reviewed Auto Finesse gear but left out the Iron Out. Iron out is on par with some of the other Cleaner of this list and does an amazing job.

Customer reviews told us Auto Finesse is a great product, does exactly what you need it to do, pulls up some of the most stubborn fallout with ease, although the bottle sprayer is a bit naff, but the stuff inside works a treat.

Our rating for Auto Finesse is 4.6 / 5

The price for Auto Finesse Iron Out 500ml is around £12

2. Meguiars – All Wheel Cleaner

Our favourite brand of cleaning products is at number 2. Meguiars show is time and time again they can offer great car protection and cleaning products and their Wheel Cleaner is no different. Our experience with Meguiars is that it’s effortless, easy to use and isn’t a strong smelling Wheel Cleaner.

Most customers will comment on the ease of use, the no need to scrub, the no smell and the bleeding effect you get when the liquid changes colour (which is pretty awesome to be fair).

Our rating of Meguiars All Wheel Cleaner is 4.9 / 5

The price for Meguiars All Wheel Cleaner 709ml is around £14

With people saying that it’s the best Wheel Cleaner they have ever used and that they replace their normal Cleaner for Bilt Hamber. We couldn’t agree more. Especially with over 900 reviews on Amazon!
