OK, about out of my current wheel cleaner and a purchase is around the corner. These two products are front runners in the wheel care category from what I have read over the past few months.

Question is, do both do the same thing or is one better suited for a certain job?? I know Megs is strong, but gets rave reviews for dealing with the worst of the worst in serious wheel grime. But I have also read many great reviews on the Griot's HD for overall use?

Help me decide, and if there is a product that beats the both of these that I have overlooked let me know. Again, I am dealing with BMW brake dust and care of painted/cc rims if that matters.

Feed back please
 
Adding a wheel brush will also help.

I like the Griots myself.

I have had really good luck with DP wheel kit. The cleaner works great and the wax keeps the wheel clean. When I go to clean the brake dust I just wipe with MF. No cleaner needed yet. The wax has been on my wheels for almost a full month now and has held up great. I highly recommend!!

DP Wheel Special combines some of our best wheel maintenance products.

Meg's WB is an acid making it much stronger than Griots. If you seal your wheels, all you will need is soap, water and a brush to clean.
 
I have both and by far Wheel Brightener works better on my BMW wheels. Having said that it is nasty stuff that I don't like to use unless really necessary. I am considering getting the Iron X-paste. For my rear wheels I just use diluted Optimum Power Clean without a problem.
 
Meg's WB is stronger but can be diluted however you like of course.

I would be more than happy to send you a sample that could fill a 32 oz spray bottle diluted at about 6-8 parts water and one part WB.

If your looking for a wheel cleaner for regular washes on your personal ride, I dont think Meg WB should be necessary.
 
Dont overlook the regular Griots wheel cleaner. Mild, but, effective. I use it with a lambs wool 3 finger mit. Easy to use and they look great when done. I dont feel like I am harming my wheels either.
 
OK, from the above, since I have Iron-X, Meg's Brightener would probably be redundant. Griot's sounds like the best bet for maintenance to a slightly stubborn job.

That is how I would use it. I just bought the bottle and not the gallon to see if I like Griot's HD and for regular washes I love it. As an added benefit a little application of it on my tail pipe makes it look nice and clean. Another option to take a look into would be the BMW Wheel Cleaner - I think it is made by Sonax. It is a good everyday cleaner.
