    Hot Rims All Wheel and Tire Cleaner

    First things first, sorry, I didn't take any pics. Now, on with the review.

    The cleaning ability on the wheels was excellent and it required very little work on my part. Just spray on, wait 15s, rinse off, and dry. Very easy. It was awesome to actually see​ the gunk come off. The wheels looked nice and bright afterwards. The tire cleaning ability was great. Although it wasn't very glossy, it really made the black look black. It won't replace your Endurance, but it was pretty nice.


    The ease of use was magical. Like I said earlier, you just spray on, wait 15s, rinse, and dry. It was so easy a caveman could do it.


    Overall the value of is product is great. Walmart has it on sale for $4.50 and I am going back to buy a few more bottles. Actually, I am probably going to use it for a wheel cleaner and use endurance for a tire cleaner. I prefer a glossier tire, and while this does clean, it doesn't provide the glossiness I like. In the end though, I would recommend this product to somebody who wants a great looking wheel and clean tires. I guess this could be used before you apply Endurance so the tire would be clean... Anyways it is a great product. 8.5/10


    Thanks for listening! (My first review)

    Good review!

    I've never used the product but after your review I'll have too pick some up. Nice to clean the wheel and tire all at once. My Walmart doesn't seem to have much Meguiar's but maybe I'll luck out.

      I had switched to mothers wheel cleaner some time back. Having run out during the last wash, i picked this up yesterday at advanced auto parts in a 2 for $10 sale. All i can say is wow!!, My calipers have never looked so clean without brushing. Incredible difference. This is a must have.

      The product left the wheels with no water spots and an incredible shine. The tires were evenly clean and ready for some endurance gel. To the op, imho, i don't think it's realistic to expect a tire and wheel cleaner to leave tire shine behind.

        Thanks for the review, Ryan!

        Just a note about your comments here:

        Hot Rims All Wheel & Tire Cleaner is just that, a cleaner. It's not a dressing for the tires so it won't make them glossy, shiny or much of anything - except clean. But you then nailed it with the comment about using this before using Endurance - that is exactly what this is for: to properly clean the tire sidewall (and the wheel, of course) before applying a tire dressing.

        It should also be noted that this product is designed for use on OEM factory coated wheels ONLY. It is not designed for use on bare, polished aluminum wheels, anodized or powercoated finishes.

          So it worked better than Morhers wheel and tire cleaner?

                It is a very good wheel and tire cleaner. Cant wait to try it with my new daytona wheel brush.

                  Have to let us know how the brush works as well.

                      Is the Daytona brush much different from the old Meguiar's wheel brush?

                        Mostly in price I think... though the description sounds like the the brush part is more rubbery, rather than bristles.

                            I just picked up 2 bottles at Wallmart for 4.50. I would have bought more but that was all they had.

                              I might have to give some of this a try. I have some wheels that absolutely refuse to come clean with APC+ and my usual methods.
