Default DUB wheel cleaner is the best thing I've ever used!

Picked up a bottle of this stuff the other day because it looked cool... Anyways, you spray it on and it's neon green, in about three minutes it's done working and it turns a kinda blood-red and then you just rinse it off!

Figured it wouldn't work as well as advertised..... I was dead wrong! My truck was dirty as hell from the rain storms today and the wheels were a dusty brownish grey from road grime and brake dust and this stuff worked like a charm, without touching them I must add!

Good stuff, looks corny but it works better than anything I've ever used. 👍👍

Didn't even think of it. Yes, it got everything clean. I picked it up at AutoZone.

Ok, here are pics I took earlier of this stuff in action. And just to have everything out there, I did drive through a touchless car wash on the way home but in all honesty they don't get into the insides/spokes of the wheels so sure they weren't as dirty as the first time I used the product but the wheels still had a moderate amount of brake dust on them.

So, spray on dry, cool to the touch wheel and let sit for 3-5 minutes. I let them soak in for five each wheel. Notice the neon green coloring...

Next, after five minutes the solution has turned a dark purple letting you know they're clean... Again, my wheels weren't that dusty/dirty. BTW, the first time I used the stuff my entire wheel turned purple because it was dirty/dusty.

Finally, rinse off wheels. I didn't touch the wheels with anything but a strong stream from the hose. Dried them afterwards with a microfiber(green) towel and had little to no dirt on it.

Just for the record, I'm wearing a red tshirt and that's what you're seeing in the last pic. Not left over product. And on another note, the stuff doesn't seem to clean the tires at all.

This is nothing new in the detail world, Sonax and iron x are very popular.

Beat me to it. I was going to say it sounds like iron x. Either I might pick up a bottle to try. Is it safe for all wheels? I've been using ph balanced pinnacle on my xd's.

I use it for the wheels and paint, my wheels are keep up so every so often I hit them with a light mist. Iron x is kinda expensive so don't coat the wheel like the one picture otherwise its a wasting money.
