Just went to buy the Meg's DUB wheel cleaner, theyre having a promo where each product is $5. Till the end of April I think. I might stock up..
 
Cleans really well. Could cling a bit better, but just don't hose your wheel down first, use a light spray. The smell is god awful. But with the chemistry that's to be expected.

In other news, cleaning my new wheels is a xxxxx hah
 
so this stuff has an iron remover built in? if so, I may buy several of them and replace a lot of our brown wheel cleaner uses with this stuff. the brown stuff cleans really well but doesn't remove iron.
 
UPDATE: I wanted to come one here and share a picture. I stopped at Advance Auto Parts about an hour ago, and bought all 3 bottles they had for $5 each. I had read a few quick reviews and it certainly sounded like this product was well worth $5. I must say, and I rarely say this after trying a new product, that this stuff is pretty amazing.

I used it on one of our chase cars, a Benz that gets really bad brake dust and wheels that hadn't been cleaned in probably 300 miles. I didn't rinse them or touch them at all, just sprayed it right on, and honestly only left it on for less than 5 minutes, but that was clearly long enough. went on nice and foamy and neon green and within 60 seconds began to do like Iron-x and turn dark red. the smell, as expected, is horrible. I didn't touch it at all for maybe 4-5 minutes, then rinsed. where the foam was the heaviest, at the bottom, it pretty much cleaned 90% of the brake dust off, but only about 50% in other places, so simply wiped it off with a towel (I couldn't care much less about the wheels on this car so I don't care about scratching or whatever, as you can see they have extreme clearcoat failure that continues to get worse). obviously you will be hitting the wheel with a mitt after spraying this on to clean it properly while doing a wash, but I didn't do that this time, as I wasn't washing the car. there is no question the wheel is brighter than what I get when I use the regular brown wheel cleaner. this stuff will most certainly be used in our shops starting tomorrow, and I will be stopping at the 2 others stores and buying up their stock, then after testing a bit more, will probably buy several more from their website. wish they sold it in gallon form, they probably don't.

just wanted to share with you guys. get to your local AAP and get a few bottles ASAP. I haven't done the math on how much can be saved my combining 2 steps (wheel cleaner + iron-x) into one, but I figure a 22 ounce bottle of this will do maybe 50 wheels, so at $5 a bottle, that's basically 10 cents per wheel, which no doubt is cheaper than the 2 step method.

will also say that not only was the wheel brighter, shinier, and generally cleaner looking on the right side, I felt around on the side that I used the cleaner on, and then felt the side I didn't and it was noticeably smoother on the right side, so I know there was significantly less iron deposits on that side of the wheel.

Awesome!! I'm glad I helped you out with the heads up! My wash turned out great today. But of course it's raining now haha. I'm probably going to buy another bottle or two, and their spray wax if I can find it!
 
Note, that there is a 5.5% referral discount to AAP from Ebates and there is a currently a 20% off coupon code (P20). You can purchase online and pickup at the store. So, your next cost per bottle can be more like $3.78 before tax.

I don't believe it does remove iron, it is just a color changing wheel cleaner.

Yeah, I think it's wishful thinking on our parts that it deals with iron deposits. There's no mention of that anywhere in their material.

I bought a few bottles. I think the changing color routine is marketing sizzle, which is OK. The stuff works pretty well. I think gloves are a real good idea with this one.

Well we have to think of what changes the color then. It isn't exposure to oxygen, since the bottle isn't air tight. Nothing else on a wheel is reactive safely besides iron..

Also, the color doesn't change on my rear wheels, which have ceramic pads.
