**I did this review on another board in Sept 07 and decided to add it here as well, I am still using SC BS as my go to cleaner***
I have been wanting to do this head to head comparison from the very 1st time I tried the Beyond Steel. My wheels don’t get dirty enough to really do a head to head comparison and doing something like this while on a customer car doesn’t even enter my mind..
Well due to some really heavy dusting ceramic pads I just put on (they will be coming off real soon) my wheels were dirty enough to justify a head to head death match.
FYI: I know my rims are in rough shape - I purchased this car used and the rims were already hit with road rash and just tore up- new shoes to come once the snow melts away for the season!!
Process:
Spray with respective cleaner
Gently agitate
PW Rinse
Wipe with MF
I was very carefull to make this a true "apples to apples" comparison SO both wheels were front wheels. I also used the same amount of brush strokes per spoke/hole with the same angle.
Main delta would be that
ARO requires the surface to be sprayed with water, this step WAS THE ONLY difference. I added this step to the
ARO wheel in order to comply with the mfg suggested usage.
After I pressure rinsed I wanted to do a mf wipe down to show what was left on the rim and ultimately was wiped off
