So a few months ago I entered to win a free bottle of this and agreed to do a review. I won the contest and finally got around to using the product and get some pictures. I'm just a weekend hobbyist that cleans my car and my wife's. I dont have a lot of experience using a ton of different products like some of you.
Link to product:
Pinnacle Gel Wheel Cleaner will give you dazzling results on your wheels, tires, and bumpers!
Since I only have two cars to clean neither one usually gets very dirty but I tried to wait a little longer since I wanted to do the review. Well onto the pictures...
Heres the wheel before
Heres a picture of the barrel
Saturated with product
Here you can see the product working on the disc brakes
Rubbed with daytona brush
Wiped dry with MF
Clean wheel
Overall I didn't really notice a big difference. It did get it clean but I usually just use leftover soap water from a wash which also gets it clean. I didn't notice any other part of the wheel turn purple other than the rotor. I guess if my wheels had more brake dust on them it would've worked better. You could definitely see it working on the rotors though.
I thought it wouldve cleaned the barrels a little better but after taking the wheels and tires off for a brake job I think that the stuff that was there was tar or something else. If I picked at it with my nails the big chunks came off then I clayed and polished them and they looked much better.
I used it at full strength too. According to the directions you can dilute it for maintenance washes which would make it last longer.
I actually have a friend thats letting me do his wrx the end of the month and its in pretty bad shape. Paint wise and wheels are rough. I'll use this again and update with some more pictures too. I think using it on his wheels will really determine how well it works.
Any questions or comments are welcome!
Thanks for looking!
