As per Meguiar's, the ULTIMATE is PH balanced and will not hurt painted brake parts (zinc coated rotors, painted brake calipers, and etc). As for the other cleaner, it suggested that you remove the wheel/tire. There is your $5 difference.
Hot rims is a iron remover (acid based as it dissolves iron ) the purple colour changing is a gimmick in ultimate Phenanthroline is the ingredient to change colour but that’s all it does not dissolve iron
i actually use both, idk i just always have. I start witht the black bottle and spray it on the wheels and tire when dry then scrub with a brush then pressure wash them, after that I follow up with the washing of the car and spray the wheels with the foam canon and after i rinse i spray the purple bottle and scrub one last time then rinsing, drying and tire shine.
ya still have meguiar's cleaner on the rim... you have to make sure to completely remove the wheel cleaner solution off the rim when you wash it off....
Same in UK, decent stuff but high premium, Auto Glym is the best comparison for a UK product for the Everyman but recently been getting into Bilt Hamber, best all round value and a more trade focused product.
Nice vid. The iron inhibitor u talk about is not actually that.. it works by breaking down the rust on the iron particles-- which helps to release embedded particle from the paint work. Fun fact
Be sure your using the right bottle! Use the right detailer! :( I was cleaning the Rims and Cleaning the interior. and I used the Wheel Cleaner by Mistake ! OOPS! My door panel now smells like it just had a Hair coloring done now my interior smells like Ammonia Now :( Pay Attention Boys and Girls
LOL, $10 vs. $5 per bottle, you sprayed twice as much with the Hot Rim Wheel cleaner "to give it a fighting chance", that's about the same in price when it's all said and done...
And put coating on u r rims to save u less time cleaning your tire and rims save you time spraying just wash off with water save u time and they both don’t win because it’s dry u r tires out
It’s better if u wax your wheels save u money then keep buy spray bottle because it will mess up your wheels and your rims it will turn brown after a few rain showers
just bought one from halfords ,yes still £16 on shelf ,,but i saw it advertised online on halfords website,for £12 .80.. asked them to check ,, they did.. and then i had it for the £12.80...still pricey though
That's not how you use the wheel cleaner..... You spray it all over on dry wheels until it turns purple (taking the dirt/rust off) and then you wash it off with a hose... And dry the wheels with a microfiber cloth to get rid of the rest of the dirt.

So for the Ultimate you can use it as an iron remover on the paint as it's safe but not the hot wheels right

The price difference where I live is 7 dollars. I went with the purple one because like you said it works just as well and more cost efficient.
Lucky. I just paid 35bucks in aus
$7 🤦

The Hot rims wheel and tyre cleaner contains acid and you should avoid getting it on the paint the ultimate doesn't contain acid
So, the Ultimate is pH neutral then? Not alkaline presumably.
bitTorrenter yes PH balanced
If hot rims is more acidic, then wouldn't it make it a stronger cleaner than the ultimate? Video claims the ultimate as the more powerful cleaner....
@@KingRockets it is stronger but that's meaning messes up your paint but if you spray off with pressure washer reap good after you will be fine
5 and 9 dollars ?? Here in belgium we pay 20 € ~ (22 dollars)
The same in Spain :(

Yeah but you guys prolly make more money than us
19euro in france
around 149RMB in mainland China
Awesome. Can I just use either of the products on both the tire and wheel?
Yes
Ultimate for the win. Get the ultimate if you don't want to agitate the wheel.
Will the acid cleaner remove a ceramic coating in the wheel ?
thanks for explaining the difference I was quite confused. Nice video
Thanks for watching!

Damn! Man. Did it stain any of the material?
@@CarsRMe No I didn't use on the material just the plastic parts. I'll try Cleaning it again tomorrow . Using the right bottle LOL
why isnt the hot rims cleaner foaming from the sprayer?
M_Spoon I guess it’s they way they are made.
@@xGHxMAN15 not true I just had a bottle and it foamed. I have a video on my channel about it.

both are 12.99 ,, i have lexani chrome wheels I'll stick with the regular stuff just wipe it around a little bit and rinse with filtered water
Are they safe to use in OEM coated wheels? And what about the brakes discs?
Yes!
Excellent, cheers mate!
Thank you!
Is the ultimate good for stock chrome rims??🤷👀
Yes! It is
And put coating on u r rims to save u less time cleaning your tire and rims save you time spraying just wash off with water save u time and they both don’t win because it’s dry u r tires out
Fantastic look thanks for that 👍👍
Thanks
Meguiars Ultimate All Wheel Cleaner *Thumbs Up*

Because that’s just what you using in the ultimate everything in one that’s how u get the purple on u r wheels
This instrumental is 🔥
Thank you
@@CarsRMe what instrumental is this??
@@nigelstanford4 I will be honest. I don’t know I made the video almost 4 years ago. Sorry 😢
It’s better if u wax your wheels save u money then keep buy spray bottle because it will mess up your wheels and your rims it will turn brown after a few rain showers
question : 2hat kind of brush were you using ?
Chemical guy face brush... and master speed brush
@@CarsRMe wow thanks for the answer! Love the result you got!
Joss Mas Brow!!
Why is he rinsing the tyre instead of the wheel?
Trying to remove the grime off the tire
$40 here in New Zealand mate
Wow! That’s expensive!!
Get out of NZ
What kind of brush is that ?
That was just a detail brush off Amazon
in the netherlands $25 bucks...
Wow! You could buy both here in the us for less than 25
How do you open it
Which bottle
Welcome to RIP OFF United Kingdom! $10 for the ultimate cleaner, at todays exchange rate that is £8 so why am I paying £16 for this in Halfords?
just bought one from halfords ,yes still £16 on shelf ,,but i saw it advertised online on halfords website,for £12 .80.. asked them to check ,, they did.. and then i had it for the £12.80...still pricey though
When products come from the US to the UK we always pay a high price. Get used to it mate after Brexit and Covid 19👍🏼
Because all UK distributors take the opportunity to rip us off. Same with most US products imported. $100 camera could be £100 in the UK.
They have to be shipped there. Import tax etc etc
How about cleaning a really dirty and old rim?
car is 4 years old and the brake dust is close to 5 month's old
@@CarsRMeOk man, looks good.
Great video
5:32 👀
Lol its just my arm
Why can’t I get past 18 seconds?
Your girlfriend or wife thinks the same
Why use the annoying background music in your video?
It wasn’t bad honestly 🤷♂️
Bro I’m New Zealand the pink bottle is $32 wtf
Damn!
Yeah he dilute with water other video was foamy
Instructions are clear on the back of the bottle.
That's not how you use the wheel cleaner..... You spray it all over on dry wheels until it turns purple (taking the dirt/rust off) and then you wash it off with a hose... And dry the wheels with a microfiber cloth to get rid of the rest of the dirt.
i have full chrome lexani rims Stick with the regular McGuire's one ....not the one with Acid .
