25 dollar gift card

[Buster906]

I need some help. I possess a 25 dollar gift card. I am interested in a wax like Collinite 845 or a wheel cleaner that changes color. I want a large bottle of wheel cleaner, 22 ounces or more. Not concerned about the wax size. Suggestions please

I give the nod to Fusso for durability, FK1000p is easier to use. Looks are similar.

My suggestion for a wheel cleaner is Meguiar’s All Wheel cleaner. Reasonable price, cleans well.

Wax, I’ve always wanted to try 845. I’d stick with it. Sounds like a great wax has great reviews.

845 is simple and 1 coat has lasted 8 months through Wyoming winter and spring with a monthly wash and boosted by megs otc spray wax. I'd go wax over wheel cleaner. Whole car protection vs just cleaning wheels

Durability is nice to have however gloss and water beading have to be in the mix. I have used the Meguiars Ultimate wheel cleaner. Did not last long. Maybe three wheel cleanings. I am wanting to try a new to me product. Thank you for the reply

When I wash both vehicles, I use a spray wax as a drying aide. But those are a short term protection. Good water beading but dirt from rain water on the road is not shed off the rocker panels. I live in Spokane

How did you apply the 845. Sometimes I will apply by hand and remove with DA and white hex logic 6 inch pad. You do beautiful detailing

I applied with round microfiber applicator and I warmed the wax up so it was a semi liquid and applied 5 small drops and then put a very very very thin coat on and let it sit for an hr then buffed off. And thank you, she appreciates the clean car and I don't get shot for spending money on this stuff

Yah, I know what you mean by keeping your mrs vehicle clean and protected. I have a shat load of detailing products and switch between them all. I enjoy trying new to me products and my wife gets a little perturbed when I purchase a new product. I let her know this is for her vehicle as well. Then all is well

What is everyone's opinion on Griots garage heavy duty wheel cleaner that changes color?

I think TTU B4 uses it and likes it and he churns out some pretty nice cars

It’s ok, but I prefer the McKee’s 37 foaming wheel cleaner or the Sonax wheel cleaner.

Go with the 845. Excellent product, and you will have the bottle for years.

I've applied it to my Ram 10 times, and wife's Jeep 6 or 7 times. I still have 1/4 of a bottle.

Also, Collinite 476s is outstanding. Another product you'll have for years.

Can’t lose with FK1000p. Works great on rims too. Put it on your rims then you won’t need the color changing wheel cleaner, soap and water will do.

I have made my decision. I will post photos once order arrives. Thank you everyone for your suggestions. Have a blessed evening

another 845 user here. Used it for the first time a few weeks ago. Very easy to apply (and overapply it not careful). Removal for me was simple despite what I read here and elsewhere.

Just remember to keep it thin. After I finished, I thought I did not apply enough. Water was beading like crazy, so apparently I did something right. Added a second coat out of caution. Remember to warm it up before use. I ran the bottle under hot tap water for a few minutes, shook the bottle, and applied to my da pad. To make things easier for next time, I bought a bottle travel kit from the dollar store (with a flip top lid). The normal bottle only has a screw cap which is not ideal for transferring into a pad.

Thank you for the heads up about the 845 cap.

These are my choices for the short term. Could not pass at eight dollars a piece.
