I may not have been the first to get it (DANG IT) but I am the first to get to use it. Today I have in a Volvo XC90 for a detail. I decided this would be a great first victim for Meguiar's newest wheel cleaner!!!
FROM PRODUCT PAGE:
Safely clean all types of wheels!
Meguiars Mirror Bright Wheel Cleaner is NOT your grandpa’s wheel cleaner! Formulated to clean all types of wheels, as well as dissolve embedded iron particles, Meguiars Mirror Bright Wheel Cleaner is the product that LOOKS old, but is actually anything but. The pH balanced formula is safe to use on brake components as well as wheels, making Meguiars Mirror Bright Wheel Cleaner extremely versatile!
Meguiars Mirror Bright Wheel Cleaner is part of the vintage Mirror Bright line. Emulating the bottle design of some of the first Meguiars products, the bottles are unique and totally different from anything else you have on your shelf. And even better than that? They actually work! Meguiars Mirror Bright Wheel Cleaner can be used on your chrome, polished, powder coat, anodized, and even painted wheels - all that’s left behind is a clean surface.
Unlike many other wheel cleaners out there, Meguiars Mirror Bright Wheel Cleaner is not harsh, and will not harm paint or trim should they come into contact. Using Meguiars Mirror Bright Wheel Cleaner is as easy as spraying the product on, using your favorite wheel cleaning brush to remove stubborn dirt and dust, and then rinsing away with a jet of water!
Keep wheel cleaning simple with Meguiars Mirror Bright Wheel Cleaner.
22 oz. $7.99
Here is the before. They werent terrible in my mind but bad enough.
Tools used were Wheel woolies large and medium, Mothers wheel brush, Tuff Shine tire brush, and carrand lug nut brush.
Beauty shot a little closer and product highlight!!!!!!
My opinions and some answers to questions others here will probably ask.
Sprayer - Nice foaming sprayer that laid on just the right amount of product.
Cleaning ability - I would give it an 8 fairly easily cleaned these wheels.
Smell - Had a slight smell of Iron-X or Sonax wheel cleaner but not as bad, there was also a tiny hint of maybe cherry in there which helped.
Color change - Sprayed out white, It did not change colors enough on these wheels to capture with my camera really. I was bummed but there just may not have been iron on them.
One negative: The bottle must be slippery compared to others I use (or I am just not used to this shape and material) because I dropped it 3 times. That being said the bottle didn't break and it was about 42 in the garage.
Compared to others: Usually I would have gone to either PB Spray & Rinse or Meguiar's Non-acid wheel and tire and aluminum wheels like these usually come out a bit brighter. I don't know if these would have but I was expecting some more POP from the cleanliness of the wheel like I am used to.
I would say other than that the Meguiar's Mirror Brite Wheel cleaner did just as good of a job cleaning the wheels, and knowing its safe for all types of wheels and may be available locally soon is a big positive in my book.
