I'm still not sold on these high-priced wheel cleaners! I think some of the degreasers/APC's that you can get from your big box stores like Simple Green, Super Clean, Zep, etc work absolutely fine. Just use common sense and dilute properly. I have been in business for almost 7 years and have tried them all! I would love to use the expensive stuff, but it just doesn't make any sense. I use Super Clean at 10:1 and in 7 years I've NEVER had any problems. Super Clean is $10/gallon and diluted at 10:1 it just makes the most sense to me. Yes you'll have to agitate a little, as a 10:1 isnt that strong (But its pretty safe) Now if a customers wheels are caked with brake dust, I love using Superior Products acid (Wire Wheel I think its called) at 5:1 and its amazing! I always take my time and rinse the wheels off good and then spray a little Seal&Shine on the wheels and then dry completely. On a side note, the P&S Iron Buster is what I have been using for a few years now and I actually dilute mine 1:1. Every job is different, but for %95 of jobs Super Clean 10:1 and Iron Buster 1:1 does a fantastic job and it also keeps my detailing prices very competitive because I'm not spending $3 on each wheel and tire, but stilll gives me great results. You just gotta put a little more labor into the cleaning, compared to using the expensive stuff. If you have the $$$ Bilt Hamber Auto Wheel is crazy good...
Stoner Iron Remover uses a different chemical to remove iron (so no visual change unless you buy the one with indicator) and doesnt have the smell because they use another chemical.
That's a beautiful spec Mach E in that green with the white wheels! I love the look of that thing. What a perfect color for our great State of Colorado. Hello from Colorado Springs!
A warning on Simple Green, the original one ("All Purpose" or Industrial Degreaser) is not officially aluminum safe and there are reports on forums of people who've had it discolor aluminum. Simple Green Pro HD (a concentrate) and Max (meant for cars, not a concentrate) are aluminum safe and contain corrosion inhibitors.
Stoner has a new odor free iron remover that uses a different chemical. Could be worth using when APC isn't gonna work. Their chemical doesn't turn purple so they sell a version with an added chemical that turns orange but it will stain concrete that's not sealed.
All you need is an APC. I use iron products on wheels if I am coating them or if they are incredibly trashed. So about 95% of the time just APC. When I do use iron remover I don't use UA-cam amounts. A light misting is all that is needed.
So for my own car that I wash regularly, I just use my pH neutral soap. I really don’t pull out my wheel cleaner very often. On client cars, their wheels are usually in pretty bad shape and need wheel cleaner.
great video! Can you add Maniac Wheel and Tyre cleaner to the test? I don't see very many videos on it but I love it since its one of the few dilutable wheel cleaners.
Wouldn't iron buster work better on ICE wheels like on a truck vs an EV wheel? Waaay more brake dust so the value might be better for a traditional amount of brake dust.
I think this is a great idea. I’ve new to the detailing DIY hobby but have been thinking about this concept! I want to know more. Located in Charlotte Nc.
Great video! Do you usually remove the wheels when doing a full detail? Looking forward to a build quality analysis of the Mach-E since it’s not been done yet (or at least, the video was never published)!
Regenerative braking only applies a certain amount of load and only above certain speeds. You will use friction braking, just not as much as a normal car.
If EV drivers just use regen brakes.....they better have deep pockets to replace rusted and warped discs....and expensive stuck on calipers. Regen is the worst idea in Motoring history.......
@ regen kicks off below certain speeds. As long as you service callipers and pads bi-annually there isn’t any issues. Brake fluid is also a 2 year interval instead of 3 like ICE cars.
Very good video👍It's great to see a demo on dusty white alloys instead of the usual satin black which I can never tell is clean or dirty.

Started using that break buster in a foamer, very effective!
It's the only way I've ever used it, been buying it over and over since it came out👍👍
I use Iron Buster with the P&S Reset Clay Towel as a lubricant,works great. Also use it with Brake Buster. Just got the new Express Interior Wipes in.

Thanks for the detailed video ! I also wont use Gyeon's wheel cleaner. The smell is just too much. I think I may switch to simple green for my wheels.

Pretty cool right! Thanks to Ford for sending it out to us!
Hello from 2 hours north!
Would love to see you include Nanoskin Iron Free. Usually about $50 per gallon.
Can you also compare Superior Products Dark Fury wheel cleaner?

What ratio do you use for Simple Green to clean wheels?
Colton, you talk about how bad the Gyeon smells and I’ve never used it, but is it worse than Sonax Full Effect or Wheel Cleaner Plus?
It’s pretty rough!

Have you ever tried adams wheel and tire cleaner? Its $35 for 1 gallon and it does amazing on both wheels and tires
Yep, stains tires. Don’t like it.
So for my own car that I wash regularly, I just use my pH neutral soap. I really don’t pull out my wheel cleaner very often. On client cars, their wheels are usually in pretty bad shape and need wheel cleaner.
How much pressure is your pressure washer?
Thank you for sharing! Any tips on cleaning the matte black plastic like the MachE wheel arches?
These are satin painted plastics, treat it like matte paint
@ Ah ok. I was thinking more of textured plastic like base EV9, Countryman, etc.
I have many videos on this!
i thought you seemed to like the new gyeon wheel cleaner? you like the magic wheel cleaner?
Wait, don’t the new Gyeon Iron removal products have a new Banana scent though?
great video! Can you add Maniac Wheel and Tyre cleaner to the test? I don't see very many videos on it but I love it since its one of the few dilutable wheel cleaners.
Sure thing

After a track day where you have a lot of rubber stuck to the paint and trim, what do you use to get the sticky rubber from the tires off?
Tar X
you can probably also use Rapid Remover
Koch Chemie Eulex or CarPro TarX
Try Armour detail supply wheel cleaner has iron remover also and better smell
Will do
I hope to see Ethos Wheel Cleaner+ compare w/ Iron Buster
Sure!
Used iron buster for a couple years. Personally thought the scent was worse than gyeon iron and gyeon wheel. Gyeon wheel also dwells longer.
I found the quite the opposite! Time to retest!
What about Dawn in a spray bottle?
Dish soap is for dishes not cars 😬
@@OutofSpecDetailingbut they use it to save baby ducks.
@@OutofSpecDetailingin all honesty great video, is there any car wash soap that does a decent job on the rims?
been using it for years
Great video! Do you usually remove the wheels when doing a full detail?
Looking forward to a build quality analysis of the Mach-E since it’s not been done yet (or at least, the video was never published)!
Yes
I saw a post on reddit earlier today calling this tire and wheel ugly lol
Tire is, wheel is fantastic
You need to try surfex hd
Great! I will!
Try it on a BMW!
Use water and soap and clean twice a year that's enough
Second from Canada. 🇨🇦👍👍
1st from Canada 😅
Why would an Electric car have brake dust
There’s an old saying “if your not using the brakes, you aren’t driving fast enough”
Regenerative braking only applies a certain amount of load and only above certain speeds. You will use friction braking, just not as much as a normal car.
Um....because they have brakes.
If EV drivers just use regen brakes.....they better have deep pockets to replace rusted and warped discs....and expensive stuck on calipers.
Regen is the worst idea in Motoring history.......
