The Easy Off trick worked MIRACLES. I tried expensive wheel cleaners specifically formulated for wheel use that didn't come close to touching the baked on brake dust I wanted to remove. Easy Off took it off, two applications for really tough spots, and this is now my new go to for wheels. Just thinking of all that money wasted on auto products when I had a can of the ultimate wheel cleaner under the kitchen sink kills me!

FYI regarding the Brillo pads. You can also use "0000" steel wool, you can get at any auto parts store. It's the finest grade you can buy, it won't scratch chrome, and works fantastic on glass. I use it on my windshields after cleaning them, and it removes anything the cleaner misses.

Here’s one for all you guys from way down under in Oz. Victoria specifically, you know, the most locked down state in the world. Anyway I’ve been using Ajax spray and wipe on my alloys for years. Cleans really well, gets rid of brake dust and the best part is that it doesn’t destroy the clear coat if your wheels are coated. Also only $3 bucks Australian, so even if you where to use one bottle per wheel your still only $12 bucks down. It really is that good. Give it a crack you’ve got nothing to loose. Cheers from down under.

Years ago before oven cleaner I took 3 coats of paint off an old John Deere tractor one coat per application of Red Devil lye mixed with cooked Fautless starch as a holding agent. It took the paint off to the bare metal. Had it in old cast iron pot. Used thick rubber gloves. Pit it on and let sit few minutes then hose it off. Repeated for each coat. Then washed with baking soda to nuteralize.

I used to use oven cleaner to safely remove enamel paint from vintage RC cars and models. It worked great if you didn't want to ruin the old 1960's and 70's plastic. Just a little elbow grease and your job of restoring a vintage or classic RC or model became a cinch.

You can use the purple power for the tires too. I use superclean (another degreaser) diluted 4 to 1 & it works wonders for the wheel & tire.

@melodywilliams6197 2 года назад

Superclean is better and stronger than Purple power.

@frostbite1991 2 года назад

Go to your local janitorial supply store, get some high alkaline cleaner (generally stronger and cheaper per OZ than typical wheel cleaners since you can get it condensed). Use gloves, spray it on there. Works wonders. Also if you have polished stainless steel cookware, let it soak in a high alkaline solution over night, will come out with a brilliant shine like you just had them chrome plated. Also, grab a foaming spray bottle for better coverage. I re-use Soft Scrub spray bottles since empty foaming spray bottles aren't very popular.

Turtle Wax has Bug & Tar remover that work real good on just about every part on your car that have asphalt tar and cleans the tar from your smoking pipe and bug guts from anywhere. They also have Turtle Wax Chrome Polish that works great removing light to moderate rust on chrome. I grew up by the Pacific and my bike got rusty everywhere there was chrome, especially the wheels. It made my bike look almost new every time I shined it up. I used purple power to mop floors at a retail store where I used to work, and it did nothing to get rid of public foot traffic dirt. A squirt of cheap dish soap in a mop buck did better. They also used a cleaner to clean the parking spots just outside so the oil and grease left by the customer's vehicle would not track inside. That stuff got expensive, so they tried purple power outside instead. It only smeared the oil farther into the lot.

@bernardmauge8613 Год назад

nice tip with the oven cleaner much cheaper than the acids for aluminum. I will try it.

Iron and aluminum do not play well together, so the brillo pad, could easily impregnate your aluminum wheels (if they're aluminum) with bits of steel, causing a type of corrosion that will badly pit the aluminum.

Neither Purple Power nor oven cleaner is for cleaning wheels. Purple power is a degreaser and oven cleaner is caustic. Wheel cleaner like Dark furry or an acid cleaner like Wire Wheel cleaner are specifically made to clean wheels. Since wheels are coated the Brillo pads are a bad way to clean wheels and will put micro scratches in chrome

@Ares-jx4ep 2 года назад

PP is NOT just a degreaser and if you think it is I got a fun little challenge for you. Go grab your favorite cast aluminum part and drop it into an undiluted bath of PP overnight. Degreasers don't eat aluminum, PP damned sure does. I use it on my semi tractor's aluminum before polishing because it dissolves the surface oxidation, no simple degreaser does that. PP also dissolves oxidized rubber, that's why it turns brown if you spray it on your tires. Regardless of what a product is marketed for if it works to easily and cheaply improve a set of wheels or anything else then thats what it's for. Wanna see an off the wall use of a product? "The Works" toilet bowl cleaner left overnight in a rusty oil pan. Next morning nice shiny steel. Nobody is telling you to use PP or oven cleaner on an already nice set of wheels. BTW, all aluminum wheels are not coated. Even those that started out that way have usually lost most of the coating long before you get to the point of using a brillo pad.

@mrmatt7210 2 года назад

Alluminum rims are clearcoated to protect the rims and enhance the shine. Over time, using products which are not clear coat safe will cause the clearcoat to fail. In turn the clear coat will turn yellowish and the alluminum underneath will become dull. At this point the only option to restore the rims would be to fully strip the remaining clearcoat and repolish the rims which is a rather time consuming process. This can be prevented by using the correct product for cleaning your rims.
