Shop the best car alloy wheel cleaners in the world. Spray on wheel cleaner is a must-have product for keeping car wheels clean. Car wheel cleaners will help to remove traffic film, dirt, grime or similar from wheels. Nobody likes finishing cleaning their car and then noticing left over brake dust on the wheels. Sometimes, this is just down to rushing. More times than not, the wheel cleaner used just wasn't up to the job.
Why does my wheel cleaner change colour?
Many car wheel cleaners now have a colour changing property hidden within, this is to show you that they are removing the iron particles (brake dust) that have embedded into the wheel lacquer. Left untreated, this brake dust will cause pitting and corrosion on your wheels, which only a professional wheel refurbishment will be able to fix. Removing the iron can be done in two ways, with a more concentrate acid (safe versions for lacquer) or a glycolate; the colour change is added because both of these methods will remove the iron without changing colour on their own.
What is the best alloy wheel cleaner?
Choosing the most suitable alloy wheel cleaner depends on the type of wheels you have. It will also depend on the level of contamination present on the wheel. A pH neutral wheel cleaner spray is great for well maintained and ceramic coated wheels. An acid wheel cleaner will be the toughest cleaner for wheels and will strip wheel wax or similar. You can't go wrong with the Bilt Hamber Auto Wheel, winning the Auto Express award for multiple years. Alternatively our own wheel cleaners offer great value for money in the larger sizes, but with still the cleaning powers of a branded version.
