    Simply beautiful! No brushing is quite impresssive.

    Where is the water beading coming from? Should all wheels bead water aftr being cleaned with a decent cleaner like that? Just wondering.

    I cannot wait to try out my bottle of Sonax! If it can do that WITHOUT brushes, imagine what it can do WITH a brush...

    Phil, in your opinion, would this cleaner strip wheel wax such as PB wheel sealant?

    in my opinion all wheel cleaners will take some if not all wheel wax/sealant off. in fact even car wash soap can. I feel your better off just putting another coat on after you clean your wheels.

    not trying to call you out just want to stop having to clean all the nooks and crannies of my 10 spoke audi wheels. :)

    no worries I believe there is currently nothing until May.


    I would order and keep it on back order....they go extremely fast.

    To add my $.02, after picking up my own bottle of Sonax from Phil:

    Okay, so got the Sonax in a week ago, took vacation and had to wait to get home to try it out. Not to steal the thread, but to add on to Phil's review.

    Some snapshots:
    Original Dirty wheels (about 2 weeks of brake dust/road grime then sat for a week while we went vacationing):

    The 'bleeding' effect [:D]

    Sprayed off:

    2 Specks left inside, but otherwise sparkly :)

    It did a great job, minimal labor - in short, excellent. Left a small amount of residue, but all of this came off with a quick wipe of a microfiber.
    [​IMG]

    In the end - great job, cleaned all the way through. Same job with my other cleaners (Simple Green and CG Citrus wash) but really takes almost no effort in comparison.

    Disregard the nasty brake rotors :p

    Thanks for the Sonax, Phil!

    Mindflux Welcome to Detailing

    nice. What makes it change from green to red? that's interesting.

    I remember when the Sonax car shampoo was a big deal almost 10 years ago!
