About this deal

Each year, we test over 350 auto products on vehicles and in our testing lab. Our team of product testers thoroughly researches top products, unboxes and puts our hands on each component, and tests the items on real vehicles before making recommendations to readers. When it comes to cleaning wheels, one of the biggest questions is if it’s safe to use acid wheel cleaners. First off, let’s discuss what an acid wheel cleaner is. These are cleaners that are between pH 1-5, with alkaline cleaners being in the range of pH 9-13 and those in the middle (such as car shampoo) being classed as pH neutral.

Clean wheels are, in our opinion, the most important finisher to get your classic car looking smart and well looked after. No point cleaning it at all if you’re not going to get the wheels sparkling; it’s like cleaning the house and then not vacuuming the carpet. Polishing your car is a great way to fade small scratches and imperfections. Find out how with our handy guide. A bottle of G3 is one of the most expensive cleaners here by volume, but it’s still worth it if you really want the best results. Its pH-neutral formula is as safe as a wheel cleaner can possibly be, so even if you get some on adjacent paintwork, it’s no bother. As with the other pH-neutral cleaners, the Farecia product turns red when it’s ready to be rinsed for a ‘touch-free’ clean. The results are great, too, with serious cleaning power to leave a satisfying, streak-free and dirt-free finish after a simple spray-and-rinse process.It should also be pointed out that great care must be taken when used on alloys that have been kerbed. I found out the hard way that after using an acid wheel cleaner on a kerbed wheel that it actually managed to get under the paint layer and caused bubbling of it. This cause a significant degree of damage to the wheel and it had to be refurbished after that. a>

Adam’s Polishes wheel cleaner is designed to only remove rust and brake dust while keeping your paint and exteriors intact. However, at least one user says this product damaged his chrome tires. The trouble is that even simple alloy wheel designs – never mind spoked wheels – can be fiddly to rid of brake dust and grime. That’s why we’re looking for a great alloy wheel cleaner that will dissolve tough dirt easily so that you don’t have to spend the afternoon using a toothbrush to agitate filth out of your car’s wheels. A) While Clean Wheels is pre-mixed and therefore requires no dilution before use, its acid base means that you should still be wary about using it in really hot weather or immediately after you’ve driven your car. This is because the liquid that forms an essential element in all cleaning solutions is liable to evaporate in hot weather or when applied to a wheel that’s hot to the touch, and this in turn serves to concentrate the remaining acid, increasing the likelihood of it damaging your wheels.it was no longer meeting these necessary regulations. So we set about changing to a more advanced and modern version which we can now use because, whilst pricing of ingredients is a lot higher to us, useage is less. That has a couple of impacts for the user: Firstly they are putting less surfactant down the drain and it is thus much less of a load on the water treatment facilities. Secondly, the new product is more easily biodegradable. These combine to give Devils Juice a greener profile. The Halfords cleaner doesn’t have the ultimate cleaning power of our favourites, but it’s not far off.We had to get in there and agitate the cleaner in a few awkward recesses to get the best results, and you might even need to repeat the clean on very grubby tyres,butthe alkaline formula is safe on hands and all wheel typesand is kinder to a wheel's underlying metal if it's exposed at all.
