Just thought I would share that wonder wheels hot wheels which is at halfrauds for £9.99 a bottle is at tesco petrol stations as a discontinued line at just £1.73 it stinks but it's good stuff and has a bleeding effect on the wheel.
I cleared the shelf of all 18 of them at my local tesco ; - )

And price at halfrauds

 

im there tomorrow!!

 

Return a couple to halfrauds and then they're free

 

Been to 4 tescos, as this has been on dealingworld for a while and no joy anywhere should add both main shop and petrol pumps

 

Good job no one else wanted any then.

 

Excellent for cleaning oil off the garage floor. Terrible on alloys.

 

Yup, I tried that **** years ago and woulden't go near it again. I ended up needing to refurb a brand new set of alloys through using that stuff.

 

Diluted soda crystals are much cheaper and very mild to the alloy!

 

Carpro iron x is the shiz for wheels!

Expensive and smells like rotten eggs, but it gets brake dust off with a bit of agitation. Can also be used on the car body to get surface contaminents off.

 

Apparently Wonder Wheels is a fairly strong acid cleaner that is not good to alloys and was a concrete cleaner originally. Plus Costco sell it in 5 litre cans for not very much.

 

Exactly, it didn't take long to eat through the laquer on my new wheels either. Even if it stays on your hands long enough you can feel it burn the skin, I woulden't go near that stuff with a barge pole TBH.

 

thanks mate - i got three bottles. might as well give it a try. it says on the bottle its acid-free. are you confusing hot wheels with their other wheel cleaning product.

 

What's the best stuff for my wheel trims. They are golden with the dust

 

Wonder wheels hot wheels is non acidic you're thinking of there other brand.
So this one is ok

 

If anyone wants any and lives local to me drop me a PM at same £1.73 per bottle

Think you are confusing this with one that contains acid,. This one is non acidic so just the same as iron x so it's safe to use.
I do professional detailing and know of the acidic versions and quite rightly would not touch them either with a barge pole nor use on a customers car for that matter.

 

No probs, thought it was the original wonder wheels. I woulden't recommend that stuff to anyone for cleaning their wheels.

 

Called in to mine local one tonight and hey had one bottle left so I had that. I usually use wolfs brake duster or iron x so be good to see how well this works for £1.70odd
