Thumbs up Video of a good non-acid touchless wheel cleaner on 2006 B7 wheels

Hey all,

Here's a video of Brown Royal Wheel Cleaner on our B7 wheels... just thought you may be interested. (I don't work for the company - just believe this is a pretty revolutionary product - see for yourselves if you want) - click through to youtube for a better description.

edit: I know I'm not so good with one-hand video + one-hand sprayer, ha

Does the very high alkalinity of this produt damage the plastic center cap over time? Non-acid doesn't mean balance ph.

Hey Buellwinkle, I'm not sure if you should use it full strength on the center cap.. again, I'm not affiliated with the company I just have had great success with this product on corvette, audi, mercedes, volvo, and toyota rims.

These are the guys who make the stuff in FL: http://www.flashwax.com/ if you want to know more about alkalinity or ph balance, hope that helps.

Thanks for commenting. Actually, at about 2:54-2:58, I'm not even squeezing the trigger. Maybe next time the wheels get dirty I'll do a rim without any brown royal on it with the hose on full blast .. the water alone doesn't do a thing.

I think part of the reason my brake dust was proving so hard to get off of the wheels (esp with just water pressure) is because I have to use those drive-through gas station car washes most of the time and they "wax" the dirt on the wheels.. so I was having a really hard time getting them clean. (Car washes in DC are pretty horrid/expensive, hence using the gas station ones).
