Wheel surface Cleaning -
Always check the products MSDS and its pH value before you use it. It is always preferable that you use a 100% acid-free product.

It is important to keep wheel surfaces clean, as well as improving the overall look of the vehicle leaving them dirty can have many adverse effects; the black powder coating on the surface of your wheel has four components; a static friction charge (caused by the pads contact with the rotors) that attracts dirt, road tar and other contaminants kicked up by both your vehicle and others. Friction heats the pads and callipers to extremely high temperatures, and causes tiny particles of hot metal to wear off and sent flying in different directions.

I just got a bottle of the Presta non acid wheel cleaner....I used it on my Friends F-350 polished aluminum wheels that were covered in brake dust from heavy braking with a equipment trailer being towed behind it...I just sprayed it on let it sit till I finished all the wheels and hosed off...no agitation..and they came out spotless..very nice product....I coated them with DG 104 paste..my wheel wax now...lol....

it can be bought up to a 5 gallon pail for about 85.00...I just got a 22oz bottle to try it out from the jobber who come to the body shop ....

MPI - NON-ACID WHEEL & TIRE CLEANER

its a very nice product

Awesome, I am already hooked up with Presta for pads, polishes and Aquasol (like Prepsol) but I have never tried the wheel cleaner. I might get some on my next shipment

I never used P21 wheel cleaner..so I can not comment on that one....I have used WB alot and the Presta cleaner is very close to that grade cleaner....but much safer to use....

try a small bottle like I did and then see if you like it...
