This guy shows how far you can go on UA-cam with a passion and a camera. Very easy to watch, very informative. You don’t need a studio and 20 takes to make a great video when you are natural
15 minutes of talking is too much though 🥱 just get on with it and show what it does, we can all read the bottle in one minute and know what needs to be done.
I've also wanted to find something to beat it, but nothing ever does. it's just so damned good I think I will give up and go back to it and just stay with it.
That pump sprayer looks identical to an IK pump sprayer.. wonder if they made some sort of deal with IK to make them in red strictly for this autoglym product.
It looks effective, but I cant help but think that sprayer ensures that you not only get a good coating over the whole wheel, but also use plenty of product! I'm a Autowheel man myself, I use about 4-6sprays per wheel and work it with a sponge... I use it every wash to keep the build up from getting too far, autofoam it off before cleaning the wheels last. I must have used about 3-4 bottles in 10 years! I'm always amazed at the amount of product that people use, going for the "moar iz better!" approach, where as I'm going "this stuff is vicious, less is better". Anyway, each to their own! Good video!
Infinity Wax Incinerate is very good at shifting baked on brake dust and grime, although it's not a fallout remover. I use it at 10 or 20:1 dilution, depending on how bad the wheels are. It can be used at ratios up to 25:1 so it's value for money. 500ml £8.99
I watch these videos to see how things compare to what I use and If I get blown away by something, I may go onto purchasing it. For a major clean of the wheel (not all the time but usually once post winter and once pre winter) I use EZ Car Care Geo Gel and I have to say I think this is the exact same as the Autoglym offered here, both go on the same, cling the same and foam the same whem stimulated with a brush and both deliver good cleaning properties. What lets Autoglym down is the price, £29.99 for 5L compared to EZ's constant deal of 3X5L for £39.99 meaning you can really bulk buy if you wanted to or buy other generic high consumables. Would be interested to see the 2 products in comparison to see if there is any noticeable differences but for the time being I'll stick to the EZ geo gel. Fantastic non biased review of yet another product to hit the markets, keep up the good work.
I love autoglym I don’t understand why people hate them. I am a professional valeter I have used there retail range and used them professionally in there trade range. I agree they test there products for yrs but there products are very good if u buy autoglym u know it work and do the job. I think the 2.5 litre will be a big seller in Halfords. Also people who want buy the 1 litre bottle could buy the 2.5 and keep topping the bottle up good review
@@nath4093 And even more people actually try ALL of the competitors and then make an informed choice. I personally think Mequiars ultimate wheel cleaner is the best available at Halfords, much better than the Autoglym. I have tried EVERY product in Halfords. I have also tried at least 20 other brands of wheel cleaner not available in Halfords. The best one for actual cleaning and iron remover (by far) is Bilt Hamber Auto Wheel, and it is one of the cheapest too !!
Thats an apt observation about the sizes Jon. It stands to reason that the prosumer/enthusiasts often get asked for recommendations on products and they aren't wasting their cash on smaller sizes as you said. Providing a product that can be bought economically in larger volumes that prosumers may buy, but a smaller size they can also recommend for the casual pop down to their local users is smart. Personally, I'd be more on the casual side for this product as maintenance washing with regular car shampoo or rinseless wash does the job on the M4 comp wheels.
Most of these wheel cleaners and iron removers you can dilute 50/50 and still it's doing its job well! And if you are cleaning your car every week or every two weeks you can dilute them 50/50 and save money and its more mild on you cars surfaces. Quick tip !
Straight forward, clear explanation and demonstration of the product. You're right about Autoglym's history in making car care products, which is one of the reasons why I've used them for years. Thanks for this review and all the other content you've put up over the years!
50-90 squirts jeeeezuz !!! I use BH auto wheel, and in the BH hand sprayer / container (I buy 5 litres and top up the smaller sprayer), I use 7 or 8 squirts on each of my 19" OG M2 wheels. That seems plenty, and it really foams up with the wheel woollies. As for this Autoglym product, hmmm not impressed, it seems weak as hell, took ages to turn purple, and doesn't seem like it foams up that well either with agitation. Thank you as always Jon.
Back in days when I used to sell Alloy wheels we sold a brand that had stainless steel faces on the wheels.... we used to get people coming back to us with lines etched into their wheels where the wheel cleaner had not been rinsed properly and was running down from the wheel nut holes. Luckily the stainless steel parts were replaceable.
Great content. No matter what I try I often find myself returning to Autoglym. I've been uding their products for over 40 years as my uncle got me into their stuff through his trade use. That said, I've been pleased with the new line of turtle wax ceramic stuff snd their new redline wheel cleaner which has been excellent but I'll get some of this autoglym and give it a try 👍🏻not sure about 90 squirts though, I'm a bit tight when it comes to wheel cleaner spraying of product 🤣
I’ve been looking for a product that’s not stupidly expensive but effective. Sonax is really good but hard to get hold of. Not tried Bilt H as expensive for what I need, car gets dirty alot. One thing to consider is if you have electronic hand brakes is to leave them off, the Anionic effect can draw the brake pads and disc together causing sticking, and also pull out any grease making your brakes squeak. So use sparingly, myself experienced this and my friend who was going to have his brakes changed after only 2k on a BMW M3, you can imagine that bill! Bit of lube sorted.
I have never really got the wheel cleaner thing as it is expensive for what it is, I just use really warm water and my general car shampoo/snow foam and my wheels are are always sparkling.
For iron fallout remover I tend to use devilsblood. I have tried others but always tend to go back to devilsblood due to the price, 2.5litres for £19.99 and it does work well. Have you got any recommendations for products to use to get the stubborn burnt on brake dust off of wheels?
Interesting that you talk about the value proposition of 5l bottles. I actually think the benefits are 2 fold because if it lasts a couple of years you're also saving money due to the current rates of inflation as well.
Fabulous video.. Sir! I've ran out of my 5L Bilt Hamber autofoam, which you recommended. I loved it. What shall i buy now as my contactless pre soak foam? Whats you're favourite? Love your channel.. I'll get some of this wheel cleaner too. Thank-you Sir ❤
Hi jon great video, my son has a hyundai i30n black wheels with diamond cut rims, the black part of the wheels are inbeded with brake dust I just can get off what can you recommend to use to get them back to mint again?
so try something like bilt hamber autowheels first. If that does not shift it then you need to use a mild acid and a atlasta brush. But be carefull mate cuz acid can haze the black gloss finish. so spray onto a section scrub it and rinse it. move section. glove up.
auto-glanz.co.uk/products/valet-wheel-cleaner?srsltid=AfmBOoqnXBAumx6FXPQte871hvoj7y1v-k4OvRM7rcJFrJhbYl6sWy11 this is decent mate just be carefull with them.
I used this for the first time today. It’s amazing but despite doing the full polar range, so three snow foams and corresponding rinses later, I caught some product lying in a lug nut hole an hour later. Will this cause any damage, the car has only done 5000 miles
Very interesting. Yeah, I'm in the i started cleaning my car with autoglym, but never liked the square bottle or trigger sprayer, or the price of some of the products. This could be worth a look for me, so thanks you for the spotlight on this one. Is that an Ik sprayer, without a trigger lock? If not it looks close, and what is the price comparison between the 2. I;m always running out of wheel cleaner so this would just about do a year for me, without having a crappy bottle and dodgy sprayer.
I just use a spray bottle of Rinseless 256:1 to clean my wheels. Costs Pennies since I do it often, I don’t need a special wheel cleaner since my EV creates no brake dust. A beautiful thing!
Any chance you can test out the Super Foam from Koch Chemie or their All Star N? Both are high pH pre cleaner and since Built Hamber products are not always easy to come by this might be an alternative product.
Mate try Autoglym rubber plus 5.. I’ve used it for 25 years still best tyre dressing going.. & I’ve tried quite a few.. ya hit the nail on the head tho not a trendy brand
Question for you, how's it stack up against Sonax full Effect or whatever they call it please? Thanks for reviewing this I had no idea about the product.
To add I have been using the Sonax product for nearly 10 years I think, hipe that's not BS. But it cleans without causing any dulling or whatever like some products can
So it’s got the fallout remover make up but it’s an acid wheel cleaner likewise?? I’m using neat TFR most wheels unless wheels totally knackered. Then go on with the full on acid wheel cleaner
Superb, the Liberal Democrats of the detailing world!!🤣🤣🤣 I'll use that! As a long term pro I carry at least 5 different wheel cleaners, ( different products for different levels of dirt, and wheel type). P &S brake buster in a foamer is my favourite, as its soo very dilutable yet still effective. Auto wheels tho is still a staple. Superb product for filthy wheels.
Normally I stock up on auto glym magma when it goes on sale Halfords get it down to nearly 8 quid a lot with my trade card it’s a bargain when buying 2 or 3 bottles
Autobead wheel cleaner is acid based, around 12 quid on Amazon and will shift caked on dust pretty much without agitation. It stinks to high heaven but is the most effective cleaner I have used bar none.
Thanks for the review very helpful, going to be honest avoiding this product very under performing there is alot better products out there, shame as its a new product on the market not impressed with the results and performance on this one
Why on eather would anyone take their wheel off and then spray their brake discs with it? Would that even cross someone's mind? Is "cleaning brake discs" even a thing? 🤣🤣
This guy shows how far you can go on UA-cam with a passion and a camera. Very easy to watch, very informative. You don’t need a studio and 20 takes to make a great video when you are natural
means a lot mate thank you
100 % correct
15 minutes of talking is too much though 🥱 just get on with it and show what it does, we can all read the bottle in one minute and know what needs to be done.
The best wheel cleaner I've used by a mile is the Bilt Hamb product
Got to agree with that👍
I've also wanted to find something to beat it, but nothing ever does. it's just so damned good I think I will give up and go back to it and just stay with it.
BH Auto wheels all day long 😊
Definitely agree
Bilt Hamber indeed
Nice rims Jon I’m glad I’m not the only one who makes thumbnails like that 👍🏻
That pump sprayer looks identical to an IK pump sprayer.. wonder if they made some sort of deal with IK to make them in red strictly for this autoglym product.
I think more brands should offer a 2.5L size in their range of products as I think this would be a popular size.
I usually use a pressure washer to clean it after spraying with bilt hamber I find it removes 90% of the dirt without having to use brushes.
It looks effective, but I cant help but think that sprayer ensures that you not only get a good coating over the whole wheel, but also use plenty of product!

Autoglym is brand for "Valeters" that's why "Detailers" don't like it. Detailing is not the same as valeting.
@@hezeone801 load a rubbish
Valeting is detailing! 😂@@hezeone801
Good stuff jon. Worst thing about AG is their triggers are pants and not most economical products (cant dilute most of their stuff)
Love the cling on that cleaner.
I have never had a poor performing AG product so will give that a go.
Ttfn.

Get you some Nigrin Wheel Cleaner.

That seems like a really good product, but I typically tend to use a good shampoo for regular cleaning with a fallout about every 3 months.

Thank you as always Jon.
Apparently the new Halfords advanced wheel cleaner is also incredible.....I'm a detailer myself and going to review it this weekend in my show car
Great video as always, Jon. Think I will try this out.
Back in days when I used to sell Alloy wheels we sold a brand that had stainless steel faces on the wheels.... we used to get people coming back to us with lines etched into their wheels where the wheel cleaner had not been rinsed properly and was running down from the wheel nut holes. Luckily the stainless steel parts were replaceable.
That sprayer is an ik pump sprayer
no rly?

I’ve been looking for a product that’s not stupidly expensive but effective. Sonax is really good but hard to get hold of. Not tried Bilt H as expensive for what I need, car gets dirty alot.

I have never really got the wheel cleaner thing as it is expensive for what it is, I just use really warm water and my general car shampoo/snow foam and my wheels are are always sparkling.
It’s about the touchless wash and embedded break dust.
Currently £23.99 on Amazon. Gonna get some.
Can I just buy a regular sprayer which is a tenner cheaper than Autoglyms to use with it?
For iron fallout remover I tend to use devilsblood. I have tried others but always tend to go back to devilsblood due to the price, 2.5litres for £19.99 and it does work well. Have you got any recommendations for products to use to get the stubborn burnt on brake dust off of wheels?
Benefits of paying for the Autoglym branded IK sprayer?

Bilt hamber Touchless

I love p&s brake buster
Jeez that takes a looooong time to react.
That would have been bright purple in about 15 seconds using Korrosol.
For similar money I’ll stick to BH
I was thinking similar !!!!
I also seem to have a strong forearm, it's probably through using so many squinting sprays.
I just use a spray bottle of Rinseless 256:1 to clean my wheels. Costs Pennies since I do it often, I don’t need a special wheel cleaner since my EV creates no brake dust. A beautiful thing!
Be interesting to try this on my car. Almost every brake dust cleaner I have tried causes the brake rotors to severely corrode
How does it compare to Bilt hamber auto wheel
Gyeon Iron fallout all day any day👌
Same for all there products 👊
Just take the wheel off John ffs, so much easier & a lot better job!👌
Any chance you can test out the Super Foam from Koch Chemie or their All Star N?
Both are high pH pre cleaner and since Built Hamber products are not always easy to come by this might be an alternative product.
I’m pretty sure you CAN’T use reactive wheel cleaners on carbon ceramic brakes, not just a “isn’t recommended”. I’m sure it wrecks the discs or pads
Jon, can you use a vinegar/water solution as an acid wash?
U need some detergent in there m8
Mate try Autoglym rubber plus 5.. I’ve used it for 25 years still best tyre dressing going.. & I’ve tried quite a few.. ya hit the nail on the head tho not a trendy brand
Question for you, how's it stack up against Sonax full Effect or whatever they call it please? Thanks for reviewing this I had no idea about the product.

I've not used m8
The M4 has gone!!. Are you looking for a replacement or will you stick with just the Porsche for now?
who knows mate, the pull is strong :)
I might give this a go looks decent thanks. I certainly won't be doing 90 squirts 😅
What's it like for dilution as a regular cleaner I use bh autowheel at 50% and it still works well
must be used neat I think it says on label
So it’s got the fallout remover make up but it’s an acid wheel cleaner likewise?? I’m using neat TFR most wheels unless wheels totally knackered. Then go on with the full on acid wheel cleaner
Hi John looks a good product, have tried any of the duel products yet
Prewash is a good product use it most days
What barrel brush were you using?
Ez m8
I've found all the "turn brake dust purple" products stain my tyres which is annoying
i quite like the smell of Bilt Hamber fall out remover, smells a bit like the bubblegum fizzy pop you can buy in corner shops
Superb, the Liberal Democrats of the detailing world!!🤣🤣🤣 I'll use that! As a long term pro I carry at least 5 different wheel cleaners, ( different products for different levels of dirt, and wheel type). P &S brake buster in a foamer is my favourite, as its soo very dilutable yet still effective. Auto wheels tho is still a staple. Superb product for filthy wheels.
People forget about the wheel cleaners do compromise their brake pad compounds
Normally I stock up on auto glym magma when it goes on sale Halfords get it down to nearly 8 quid a lot with my trade card it’s a bargain when buying 2 or 3 bottles
Would be great to see magma (liquid clay) in a 2.5 litre jug too.
Why are AG selling the ik 1.5? Its the old model and not as good as the ik 2.
Seriously?
Jon, have you covered Koch Chemie Felgenblitz yet? I'm asking as they include effective corrosion inhibitors in many of their wash products.
Gefeliciteerd met je 10 jarig bestaan 🥳🥳.
Is it safe on powder coated wheels?
Yeah m8
Any reccomended acidic wheel cleaner to buy? currently battling with my M2c's wheels dust wont budge with a good working of these wheel cleaners .
i have a litre bottle of wonder wheels which is very strong. the autoglanz trade acid wheel cleaner is a bit safer.
Autobead wheel cleaner is acid based, around 12 quid on Amazon and will shift caked on dust pretty much without agitation. It stinks to high heaven but is the most effective cleaner I have used bar none.
You’re not wrong about the stench. Mind you on the plus side is still smells better than the wife’s cooking 😄
Brilliant Jon thank you
...usually called " SEMI METALLIC " .... Sucks that autoglym is pulling out of canada... now I need to stock up where I can how I can.
Wait…..you sold the M4..??
Think AG are chatting BS … 90 pulls of a trigger spray per wheel 360 for 4 wheels. You’d need arms like the hulk. 😅
Very informative 👍🏼
Thanks for the review very helpful, going to be honest avoiding this product very under performing there is alot better products out there, shame as its a new product on the market not impressed with the results and performance on this one
M4’s gone now… does that mean there’s gunna be something else in the pipeline?
i see they team up with IK
Pump sprayer looks a bit familiar 😂 .K
Koch chemie Felgenblitz !
So it’s just Magma
In my country its 850nok/64pounds for 2.5l. So i wont buy this, autoglym is super expensive here.
"The M4 has gone now" 🤔
Autoglym is still the best on the market
Dragons Blood is best
i like red IK.
Where's your gloves !
covered in video
"Autoglym are the Liberal Democrats of the detailing world" haha 😆
Why on eather would anyone take their wheel off and then spray their brake discs with it? Would that even cross someone's mind? Is "cleaning brake discs" even a thing? 🤣🤣
Rebadged ik by sprayer I have 3 of them lol
Off to Halfords now
