Save that brush for the tires and buy a cheap wash mitt from a Wal-Mart or something as they are easier to move around the curves of the wheels in my opinion.
I really like Gold Class All Wheel Cleaner even though it is not as strong as the Hot Rims All Wheel Cleaner. I think Gold Class is actually safe for every wheel no matter the type which differentiates it from Hot Rims. That's what I thought but I may be wrong.
Good job.

I remember reading some time back that Gold Class all Wheel Cleaner is the safest cleaner of all MEGs wheel cleaning products and that Hot Rims should not be used on polished aluminum, anodized aluminum wheel or uncoated magnesium wheels.
Is this product discontinued? I have never seen it outside of target or sears.
You would have been better off with some soap and water since you were just pretty much dry brushing the surface of the wheel.
As for price, its not that great considering a set of wheels with decent brake dust could require a whole bottle of this or the HR appropriate product.
A gallon of Wheel Brightener is way more cost effective and costs very little considering the amount you get and its dilution ratio.

I saw in the video RDR sprayed the wheel cleaner on the tires. I was under the impression that wheel cleaner was just for the rims and the trace amounts of acid would eat the rubber over time.
no. it wont eat your tires. i just spray it becuase you get brake dust on the tires. i spray it on sparingly because i dont wanna waste it on the tires only.
Just one comment, when using a wheel cleaner, one should start applying the product from the bottom of the wheel and work upwards. This way any product and dirt from the top of the wheel will run off onto an area already coated with the product and will minimize any chance of staining the wheel.
If you start spraying from the top, the product and dirt runs down onto a dry part of the rim and could cause staining (minimal risk, but prevention is better than cure).
If the rims are painted, you can always use clay and a paint cleaner for a deeper cleaning.
I'll clean them with SwirlX or whatever once or twice a year. Then the wheel cleaner and brushes the rest of the time.
As far as foamier, I think the Hot Rims cleaners are. Not sure about stronger... I use the Aluminum Wash, which is mildest. I think the All Wheel Cleaner is about the same, but maybe is a little stronger if the other posters are right.
