GGHDWC/GGHD - Griots Garage Heavy Duty Wheel Cleaner
SFEWC/SFE - Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner
I am not the best person to write anything. All of this is probably going to be pretty boring and drawn out. I will start with an explanation of what I did with pictures, then go with some after thoughts. There will be a totally separate thread for the people who wanted to read up on the GGHDWC vs SFEWC
My intentions of this review is to give you a view from a beginning consumer level car enthusiast. I am trying to show this product in it's true form, this is why I quickly cleaned a extra dirty rim. I purposefully only brought 2 wheel brushes (I should have just brought the big fender brush). Most people don't have the EZ detail brush, or swissvax wheel brushes or the like. I wanted to show what kinds of results you could expect from an entry level person. Another thing, when I agitated the wheels, I went over them quickly, most of these people do not know the techniques, or how to get a close to perfect rim the first round. I may refer alot to SFE, at this time, this is one of the more popular wheel cleaners in the same category as the GGHDWC.

Sorry I missed some of the action pictures, I did all of the work, and took video and pictures where I could.
Start with your wheel.
Give it a quick rinse with water from a hose. Spray Griots Garage Heave Duty Wheel Cleaner liberally on the wheel (face and barrel)Allow the solution to penetrate brake dust, dirt, and other elements for about 3 minutes.
After the 3 minutes have passed, give the wheels a good scrub (really good on wheels as bad or worse than these). Rinse the wheels.
Repeat if necessary. If done properly, you won't need to repeat. I finish all of my wheels by going over them with quick detailer and a cheap MF towel. This will remove any small amounts of dirt missed during the cleaning step, it will also remove water spots.
Initial thoughts:
I like the wheel cleaner. I have always like cleaners that you let sit for a couple minutes (make sure they are in a shaded area). This initial step helps to remove some of the dirt/brake dust.
Smell: Cherry smell. Unlike SFE GGHD is a very pleasant cherry smell with NO nasty smell behind it.
Ease of Use: Very easy to use, directions printed on the back are easy to follow. I love the fact that this product foams when agitated. Take very little agitation to clean the wheel. Like I mentioned before, this wheel wasn't 100% when I was done, but I also spent about 3 minutes on each wheel, just giving them a quick scrub whit a brush that really wasn't meant to complete the wheel job.
SORRY, WILL FINISH ON MY NEXT BREAK AT WORK
