    Is this stuff too strong (even when diluted) to use on aluminum wheels? I have P21s gel and Megs WB but sometimes I feel I could use something a little more effective to clean really heavily soiled wheels. Think Grime Reaper will do the job or is it too strong to use safely on wheels?

    Im talking about using it on standard clear coated wheels. Obviously not chrome.

    i meant on the aluminum wheels, they can be clear coated to protect the polished surface or raw. meaning no clear and those you can use metal polish. sorry if i'm not
    explaining myself properly
    :sorry:

    Megs wheel brightener is the srongest I'd go with. 4:1. If it won't do the job the first time, try it a second time... And remember to rinse well.

    I use WB 4:1 for heavily soiled wheels and about 8:1 for general purpose cleaning. Usually I apply and let it sit for 10minutes or so, rinse and repeat but sometimes its not enough.

    i usually use CG premium blue wheel cleaner, 4:1 and it works great. citrus based and smells good too

    if the premium blue is citrus based and not acidic can you let it sit on the wheels for a long time?

    On the CG grim reaper bottle it states "do not use on paint" so i wouldnt use it, if you gpot the P21s why dont stick with that.

    I have the P21s gel and I only use it on chrome or delicate wheel surfaces, IMO its really not a great wheel cleaner, especially on the tough stuff and its very expensive also. I think Megs WB is very good.
