    Just thought I would throw a few pics up for people who are thinking of buying some wheel cleaning product. This stuff is called very cherry acid free cleaner. These pics are from this morning. I just sprayed it on and left for a few minutes, no scrubbing at all and just sprayed off with the power hose. It's really good if your lazy like me or have a bad back and can't be bending over scrubbing wheels.

    I would advise you to start using something else. I used swear by that stuff but it stripped the rust protection off the calipers on my car. I've only had it since April and they are covered in rust.

    I've moved to Meguiar's Wheel Brightener and it's stop class. Nowhere near as acidic as turtle wax.

    Lol god no. I've never even met them. I just thought I would show people what I thought was a good product at a really good price. I've some of the megs wheel brightener here too but I haven't tried it yet as I need a pump dispenser as I don't want to get it on my skin but when I do try it I will put up some comparison pics.

    Can you get the megs wheel brightener in Halfrauds? Or is it just from that website?

    I bought this before and found it good - however found the 'Acid free' part of the sales pitch slightly disingenuous. To me that meant that you could happily leave it on your wheels as it wouldn't damage the finish, but its actually highly alkaline apparently, so will do just as much damage as an acid cleaner if left on.

    Iron X gets rave reviews as a wheel cleaner which I'll try next.

    If Megs is only available from one place in Ireland then I won't be able to try it as I will not be ordering from there again :mad:

    Pussy :P

    It doesn't matter a feck, I've gotten it all over my hands and had nothing happen. It's only if your skin is exposed to it a lot i.e. using the stuff to wash your hands with everyday that anything will happen.

    I use a small funnel that goes into the top of the WB bottle and it's easy to fill it to the ridge without it spilling everywhere.

    With that said, I did order 3 pump dispensers with the WB/APC/SP about 2 weeks ago. They weren't included in the box with that stuff and I'm still waiting on them.
