Working closely with brake manufacturers we are often asked about wheel cleaners to remove brake dust and general grime.

After testing many non acidic cleaners we have found one that actually works.

The pics below are my 08 plate VW that since being delivered 5 months ago has covered 30,000 miles and never had its wheels cleaned so I figured this would be a good test !!

Before



The only tools used (a self supplied trigger spray) and a watering can


Apply and let soak


Oh I lied! My only other tool - my finger !!


30,000 miles of crap just wipes away !!


Rinse (no high pressure jets here)


Result (5 minutes later )


Used some awful smelling and abrasive acidic wheel cleaners in the past as nothing non acidic could compare but im now converted and my road and track wheels are both clean and safe again

Deary me i'm turning bufty

 

what is it!

Ive found one that knock socks all and like that Non acidid, spray, leave rinse! No brushes.

Just wonder if the same?

i swear by this stuff
http://www.cartec.nl/en/index.htm

Wheel cleaner is something like £14.95 x 5L and can dilute 50/50

Polishes show Autoglym and the like up too!

 

This stuff is UK made and supplied

Can go 5:1 and above even 10:1 for lightly soiled wheels

Price in traders section

One of the very big players in the market is currently after the formulation...

 

We are a distribution point for the Cartec brand and the sole importer is near you at Elsmere port.

Can you organise me a plain bottle to try against what we sell ( and i swear by ).?? I'll get you a bottle in return? Always good to try alternatives....

 

Some other pics - remember this is a NON ACIDIC cleaner

Another vehicle before


After (ok this one took 2 goes and a soft brush)



See the traders section for prices

 

lol, the funky colour suggests this is the same stuff i'm using

Excellent stuff, great value

 

what product is it as it looks like it does a good job and will be looking to use

 

havent seen this thread, but the swarfega stuff was realy good on my friends o.z's. definatly rated!

 

Bilberry wheel cleaner. cant get much better

 

Bilberry has good reviews yes

But at £13.49 per litre on Ebay it should be good

I take it you mean this

yep thats the one mate, although you can get it alot of places alot cheaper than that, you dilute it down aswell, so lasts a good while

try www.elitecarcare.co.uk for instance, only £8.95 per litre from them.

 

£8.95 plus £6.72 postage (cheapest option) from your link actually puts it dearer than the stuff sold on Ebay

But even at that price it looks worth it.

 

yer but how many people would order just that?? dont know about you but usually Ill order a good few products at once, thus evening out the postage costs

 

cheers for the links
