Marc, we figure that on average you can clean the wheels on 3 to 5 cars with a typical bottle of product, depending on how dirty they are. But you really don't need to use a ton of product - spray it on, let it dwell for a few seconds and then scrub the tires with a good tire brush, and agitate the wheels with an appropriate wheel brush, then rinse thoroughly with water.

WOW!

Mike,

How much product do you use to cover that single wheel/tire that heavily? Also, will there be a gallon alternative to purchase for this product? (hint hint detailer line hint hint)

Re: Hot Rims All Wheel & Tire Cleaner

Sometimes a product comes along that just keeps making us say "wow" even though we've seen what it can do a million times over. This is one of them, and we just sprayed down some dirty tires and wheels again this morning........

Re: Hot Rims All Wheel & Tire Cleaner

I've been lurking around MOL for a while, but felt compelled to finally register simply so I could respond to this. Wouldn't Meguiar's find it important to test this product on plastics considering the high potential for overspray on fender well plastics?

There is actually a very low potential for any overspray on plastic fender wells. Sure, you might get a few drops on them but it's not like getting even a single drop of an acid wheel cleaner on bare aluminum - that will leave a nice little white spot in no time. If there is any real issue with this, and I seriously doubt there is, it would be heavily spraying it onto the liners and letting it sit for several minutes. But if someone just grabs a product like this for that purpose, especially on very dirty liners, that's how they'll use it. And that's what we don't necessarily want you doing. But a few drops or light overspray should not be an issue at all.

Re: Hot Rims All Wheel & Tire Cleaner

In the sequence of images shown in the original post we did nothing more than spray it on, let it dwell for a bit, then wiped off. That's it. As for its effectiveness on wheel wells, it should work very well but you might want to check that it doesn't cause an side effects on the plastic. We haven't checked to see if it might cause some staining or whitening of plastics like some cleaners can, so experiment at your own risk.

Re: Hot Rims All Wheel & Tire Cleaner

Your kidding me. You scrubbed the right side of the tire after the application of the new stuff right? How about the wheels wells? Im sure it would work well on them right?

Re: Hot Rims All Wheel & Tire Cleaner

Looks good. So less tire scrubbing required. Does the rim still need to be agitated with brushes?

Wheels may still need some agitation depending on amount of brake dust and whether or not you're using our new Hot Rims Brake Dust Barrier But the amount of crud removed from the tire even without agitation is pretty amazing. Still, in most cases some agitation is probably going to be called for.
