Can't decide between Bilberry and BH Auto Wheels. I've always used an iron remover based wheel cleaner when I wash the car every 2-3 weeks. Bilberry is better value, but doesn't contain anything to break down iron.

I've not used Bilberry, but I've used the Sonax one and BH Auto Wheels, and I'd pick BH again. It is incredibly effective!

Raymond Lin · 29 May 2019 at 13:38

I've tried Iron-X, Sonax and BH. BH wins.

A few new cleaning products to add to the collection

(told off for cluttering the table in 3,2,1...)

That horse shaped scourer looks aggressive...I wouldn't use it if I were you!

I used something called Billet Hamber or something silly, works pretty damn well!

I've been using Valet Pro Dragon's Breath for the last few months and it's been top notch. Admittedly it's previous competition was Wonder Wheels which was absolute gash, and I've never had to clean caked-on brake dust as I clean the car every 2-4 weeks, but still, I've been happy with it

grudas · 29 May 2019 at 14:45

auto wheels is still easily the best/easiest(spray on pressure wash off) wheel cleaner I've used.

it is very expensive tho!

What makes it better than Korrosol? I use that and it works great.

Nothing

Well kinda.

Its just twice as concentrated as Korrosol.

Clarkey · 29 May 2019 at 16:28

Really? I would have thought it was the other way round if anything? Next time I'll get auto wheels instead then.

Havana_UK · 29 May 2019 at 17:21

Yeah, I think Korrosol is basically diluted Auto Wheels. I would say that BH Auto Wheels is so effective though, that you could certainly dilute is 1:2 (1 water:2 BH) and have it clean exceptionally well. It's very gel-like compared to other stuff I've used.

Krakkenbus · 29 May 2019 at 23:13

Korrosol is a fallout remover - you should only use it on clean wheels, if you aren't you are just wasting product.
Auto-wheel also has an added de-greaser to remove road grime. They're similar products but they're definitely not concentrated / diluted versions of each other.

If you're getting annoyed with wheel cleaning I'd really recommend getting a wheel sealant, raceglaze nano wheel sealant is a great example of this. I was able to pressure wash 99% of the grime off mine this week and after a quick once over with my wheel mit they were spotless.
