ESOTERIC Wheel Cleaner 16oz | Color Changing | Effective Iron Removing Wheel Cleaner | Safe & Versatile Brake Dust Cleaner for All Alloy, Chrome, Aluminum, and Steel Wheels

I like how this wheel cleaner works. Just follow the simple directions and everything will turn out just fine.

This was my first time trying out the Esoteric brand and I'm now regretting not trying them out sooner. I do car detailing and I'm always trying different products to add to my 'go to' lineup.What I like about this product is that it's a bit thicker/foamier so it tends to stick to your wheel much better than a lot of other brands. This is important for 2 reasons, 1 it's going to give the product a longer dwell time on your wheel to work and then 2 it's not going to dry out quickly like other thin products.While I saw some other comments on possibly not being cost effective what I care about more are products that save me time while I'm detailing and that's what this product does. The cleaning properties in it are very good and I end up having to scrub much less than other products I have tried. I think on average, if I was doing maintenance details, I could probably get about 6 separate uses out of this bottle which means in addition to saving me a lot of time I'm only spending just a couple bucks on wheel cleaner/iron removal all in one. Even for a DIYer just doing their own cars that's a great deal. I will definitely be checking out other products in this brand's lineup.

The rusty or dusty color came off after sprayed it on my wheels. It looks better afterwards. I recommend it.

I've tried most of the wheel cleaners on the market over the years, and Esoteric's is by far the best.Spray on, let soak, and watch the purple rain stream down your wheels. That's all the iron and brake dust just melting off your wheels. A quick scrub, and wheels look new again. This product makes wheel cleaning practically effortless.This is now my go to wheel cleaner, I can't see switching to anything else.

The media could not be loaded. Dirty wheel rims have always bothered me, so when I came across this cleaning product, I ordered it without hesitation. While my wheels weren’t extremely dirty, there were still visible traces of grime, which you can clearly see in the “before and after” photos I’ve shared. The difference is particularly noticeable in the areas I marked in red, where the product worked very effectively.Here’s how my experience went. First of all, you need to be very cautious with this liquid, as it’s noted that it can irritate your skin. I made sure to wear protective gloves during the application. The bottle comes with a standard plastic cap, and the spray nozzle is packed separately. After attaching the nozzle, I noticed it was in a closed position. If you slightly unscrew the spray tip, the liquid disperses in a fine mist, covering a wide area. Loosening it more will release a stronger, more focused stream. You can see this in my video, where I first used a strong stream and then adjusted it to get a better spray. The liquid has a slightly sweet scent, but it’s important to handle it with care. If this product is strong enough to dissolve the grime on your wheels, imagine what it could do to your skin.Once the liquid was evenly sprayed onto the wheel rims, I waited about three minutes as per the instructions. In areas with more dirt, the liquid began turning a pinkish color, which is shown in the video. At this point, it’s recommended to use a cloth to wipe off the dirt. You could also use a rotating brush attachment for a household drill, though I didn’t do that this time. The wiping process is shown at a faster speed in the video since it’s rather repetitive. After wiping away the dirt, I rinsed the rims with water to remove the remaining pink residue. You need to keep rinsing until all traces of the liquid are gone. After that, the manufacturers recommend drying the rims with a clean cloth. I suggest using a different cloth for drying, as the first one will likely be dirty and covered with the cleaning solution.Cleaning each wheel took about 5 to 6 minutes, so the entire process for all four wheels took around 20 minutes. You could save some time by spraying all the wheels in sequence, which would cut a few minutes off the total time.The end result is impressive. The wheels look shiny and nearly new, with even small scratches becoming less noticeable.To sum it up, this product delivers excellent results. Anyone who’s ever cleaned their own wheels will quickly see how much simpler and more efficient this product makes the job.

It's taken me a long time to review this, because I did an iron decontamination on my car several months ago. Normally, you want to do this once a year. Anyways, I just did this on my car's wheels. There was that distinctive sulfurous nasty smell. The reaction was similar to Iron X's purple bleeding color. Whether or not it works as well as Iron X, I can't say. I honestly don't know if even Iron X is really doing anything at all. This product is strictly an iron decon, I think, and you still need to wash your rims with a brush and towel and soap to get the dirt out.The amount in this bottle SHOULD get you through 8 wheels / tires. I went through half the bottle with four. HOWEVER, if you DO plan on decontaminating your ENTIRE car before doing something like a ceramic coat, I would suggest buying the 1 gallon version. I don't think this is enough for an entire SUV like my Rav4.Finally, in terms of value for money, it's slightly cheaper than Iron X. However, my go to brand now is Meguiars Decon Pro Strength Particle Remover, and that is significantly better value, I think.

I have used every wheel cleaner that has come and gone over the years, from all the well known names that monopolize the shelves of stores. Now I find this product that blows away anything else I've tried. Got it today and went to work on the F150's chrome rims spotted with what I believed to be baked on brake dust stains in the chrome. Sprayed on the product, waited 2-3 minutes and started scrubbing the rim with a wet, soft, long bristle brush and WOW! Everything that didn't belong on that rim was removed. I was left with chrome that hasn't gleamed like that in years. Hey Esoteric... you earned a new customer and I will always have a bottle of this in the shop.
