Had the chance to try the DUB Wheel Cleaner.
Need to know info: I have a BMW and they are known for having tons of brake dust, I'm down with the dust as that is one of the reasons that the car stops so well. Brake dust on calipers and inside of the wheel barrels and I just deal with it. I also have chrome wheels, which I remove 2 times a year to clean the inside of barrels and calipers ( which has not been done yet this year). With that said on to the meat of the post.
As always when using a new to me product, read the instructions! 30 seconds done. Note: do not let product dry on surface, surface should be cool.
Wheels have not been washed.
spray cleaner on wheel rim, lug bolt, caliper and rotor. Goes on green.
Let product sit for 3 to 5 min. Turns red when done, making sure the cleaner does not dry. Rotors, wheel inside barrels and lug bolt wells.
Spray the area with water, making sure to leave no product on any surface, except the driveway. Product can etch metal not concrete. LOL Then wipe down the rims with a clean dry rag ( one place my microfiber towels will never see) . Pay no mind to the rotors turning orange as rotors do that with just a water rinse and is normal.
Cleaned up the lug wells except where the lug was tighten down.
Did one wheel at a time and was done. Moved the car back into the garage, Got rid of the orange on the rotors by braking and noticed that I had not rinsed as well as I had thought, because, out from behind the center caps there was a tell tail line of red product. Sprayed with water and wiped off. Must have found some brake dust or rust behind the center caps, just something to watch for I guess. The DUB wheel Cleaner did a good job, I really like the fact that the product will not harm brake calipers and rotors and both come really clean as well as the lug wells, (which just washing rarely does not come clean) ( last product used on chrome wheels was not meant to be sprayed on other metals other than chrome )
I liked the way DUB Wheel Cleaner worked and the new areas that can be cleaned at the same time.
