Wheel Brightener

Re: Wheel Brightener

4:1 is really strong...especially on chrome.

Considering chrome-specific wheel cleaners are several types of acids combined, I would disagree. WB recommended dilution on the side of the bottle is 4:1. Some people understand the strength of WB and dilute it down 10:1 for "normal" cleaning.

I have respect for WB, I tend to be a lot more careful spraying it when its windy out now.

This stuff can get in your eyes if the wind is blowing. I hold my breath when spraying it. I'll wear glasses whenever I spray it.

Re: Wheel Brightener

I agree with ColonelCash - WB will eat a "normal" sprayer so I've been using Meguiar's Chemical Resistant sprayer with good success.

BTW - I dilute WB to 8:1 or 10:1 for mildly dirty wheels and 4:1 for REALLY dirty wheels.

Also, don't leave WB in a container with a sprayer, it will destroy the sprayer pretty quickly. Best thing to do is remove the sprayer and then flush it with clean water before storing it. Put a cap on the bottle with WB in it.

That is awesome! I was looking on here to see if anyone else has had this problem!! Glad it's not just the cheap sprayers I am buying!

Re: Wheel Brightener

I keep two detailer bottles of WB in my garage, 4:1 and 10:1.
Use 10:1 for "normal" cleaning, 4:1 for dirty wheels.
