Sonax Wheel Cleaner is Amazing

My wheels haven't been cleaned since last fall which includes three auto-x and about 3,000 miles of driving. I bought the Sonax wheel cleaner, sprayed some on the rims while I drank a beer in my driveway, sprayed them off with the hose and BAM my wheels are clean. Ok, the rest of the car is still dirty, but my rims look good!

With my IPad this will take 3 posts to show the process.

Dirty Wheel!

Clean wheel after half a beer!

Even the barrel behind the rim spokes is a lot cleaner without being touched.

Awesome product. I don't use it when doing my regular washes, but when the real is PROPER dirty or at least once a month or so, I'll use Sonax.

Use the 10% off code and then go through the checkout. Should be automatic.

How much do you use? My bottles last for quite a while in all honesty. No need to completely drench the wheel, just make sure you have good coverage. I can probably do 20 wheels per bottle, or 5 cars. Perhaps even more if I was careful.

+1 a bottle lasts roughly half a dozen applications.

Depending on the pads you run, that could be needed every week if you like your wheels perfectly clean though.
