Meguiar’s Wheel Brightener is a powerful acidic based alloy wheel cleaner.
Previoulsy I have only used Bilberry Safe Wheel Cleaner on alloys and yes that does an excellent job on alloys that are maintained weekly or that are sealed with a product like Chemical Guys Wheel Guard.

Meguiar’s Wheel Brightener is the ideal next step for heavily contaminated alloy wheels that either haven’t been cleaned in years or just to get rid of brake dust build up that other cleaners just wont shift.
I recently used Wheel Brightener at 3:1 which is slightly stronger dilution than the 4:1 that Meguiar’s recommend but I knew I had 2 sets of alloys that where heavily soiled.

Firstly I had mad my solution of Wheel Brightener made up in a Handi-Hold Bottle which hold just short of 1 pint. Which doesn’t really sound like a lot but I was really surprised that cleaned one very heavily soiled set of alloys with 2 passes (2 passes due to not removing alloy). And  BMW 1 Series which hadn’t been cleaned in about 1 year which got the same regime and I still had about ¼ of the bottle left.
Meguiar’s Wheel Brightener will not remove tar but does an amazing job with built up brake dust.
The best way I found to use Meguiar’s Wheel Brightener was
1: Spray on to alloy wheel (make sure there cold) and on to a brush
2: Agitate the the alloy wheel face with a soft brush
3: Now work on the inner rim and make sure you clean the backs of the legs aswell
4: Rinse of with hose

This can be quite a dirty job and you’ll more than likely end up covered in dirt so be aware
