Alloy wheel cleaners are one of those things you can never have too much of if you enjoy car detailing<\/a>, especially as you go through it seriously quickly. However, if you’re spending all that money, you want to make sure that you’re using the best product you can. One that’s going to give you the best results. That’s why I’ve put together this comprehensive wheel cleaner guide to find out what the best alloy wheel cleaners are.<\/p>\n

What is an alloy wheel cleaner?<\/h2>\n

Firstly, though, I wanted to give some context to this piece. So what is an alloy wheel cleaner? Put simply, it’s a product that is specifically designed to lift brake dust, dirt and grime from the wheels. Using a dedicated wheel cleaner makes the job of ensuring those wheel look shiny that bit easier. It works by reacting with the dirt on the wheel, allowing you, in most cases, to simply jet wash the dirt away. For wheels that haven’t been cleaned in a while, it’s always worth using a detailing brush in order to agitate the surface further. Remember, you’ll still need to give the wheels a wash during the shampoo stage, but using the wheel cleaner as part of your pre-wash stage<\/a> will save you a heap of time.<\/p>\n

Quick detailing tip, don’t let the wheel cleaner dry on the surface of your wheels as it can lead to damage to the paint surface. Read the manufacturer’s instructions as to how much dwell time it requires and the agitation process.<\/p>\n

Who is the tester?<\/h2>\n

Better known as Buffy, I’ve been talking and writing about cars professionally for over a decade or so now as editor to a number of different BMW magazines, currently Total BMW Magazine. While I’m most passionate about BMWs, I’m a petrolhead in general, and I love nothing more than a spotless car. Over the years of car ownership, I’ve developed a deep enthusiasm for detailing, and as a result, I’ve tested just about every detailing product out there. I have my personal favorites, but for this test it’s all about finding out which product truly is best without bias.<\/p>\n
