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!
Dude, your video popped up for me. I went past a dollar store and bought that oven cleaner. My wheels had brake dust and more. I’ve tried many automotive products……none worked, the brownish glaze would not go away on my chrome wheels. Sprayed on the oven cleaner. It began to work immediately. Rinsed and they shine again…….kudos
Purple Power is probably the best product I’ve come across for wheels. Just make sure if you are using it as a concentrate, wet any painted surfaces with water first to prevent damaging the paint on the wheel.
The one thing I would add to your fine work is to use a pressure washer when rinsing the wheels off. They work amazingly well when removing really stubborn stains.
That's wicked awesome can't believe how clean they came out...how did u get the smaller inner circle rings clean? Even when u showed urself clean ing w each product those small inner rings looked rusted ..now they look like almost brand new rims wtf that's amazing..plz keep these types of videos /tips n tricks coming ..I would have never guessed oven cleaner 👏👏👏
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.
Been using oven cleaner on my chrome rims for years..I don't let it sit long just long enough to brush it around. Rinse it off..Then I use 0000 steel wool to shine it..i never buy chrome polish and they shine.
Good video. I learned from you that oven cleaner works good on filthy/Dirty truck rims. I’m going to try this on my rims. Thank you for sharing. Tim in MI
Good doggy ! Great vid I like the comparison of the different cleaners, I've used the dollar store oven cleaner on a bunch of stuff works great but will mess up the clear coat on wheels, being that I'm in Ohio our rims are so jacked up they need stripped polished and re-cleared anyways.
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.
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.
@@MeowBangBang92 has to be the spray and wipe for nice clear coated rims. Normal Ajax is way too corse and caustic and I only use that on raw alloy like the rims he showed in the vid. Y’all have fun now ya hear. Ha ha

Listen. Purple power is great. I love the stuff. But it leaves a residue. It’s Bc of the acids it has in it. Oven cleaner is best for rims. Purple power is best for motors. It is what it is. It’s a degreaser. Works great on gasoline and motor oils.
I have tried everything on my Alum. rims and nothing worked, the rims with tires had been sitting for many years in a field and very hard to clean, so now I will try the Oven cleaner, I am not worried about removing any clear coat I think that's been gone for years, so I will give it a shot. thanks for this video.
Only the Heavy Duty non lemon scented (if you can find it now) stuff works. They've been removing all "harmful" chemicals in everything from paint strippers that Worked‼️
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.
@@josemartinez4680 yes but rather diluted for safer handling, and may not be as high on the PH scale. The stuff we used to get was pretty serious, extremely strong stuff.
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.
one thing we use for wheel cleaning tools is cheap toilet brushes from the dollar store just cut the big end of the handle off so the stem will fit in a drill and usually get a couple for a buck works great even if they are still one the vehicle
I use Scrubbing Bubbles bathroom cleaner on aluminum wheels as long as they are not clearcoated. Might have to try oven cleaner in comparison but I get Scrubbing Bubbles dirt cheap. Super Clean gallon cut 5 to 1 for an all around cleaner.
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.
I know from years of experience, if you leave Purple Power on aluminum for to long it'll stain. I messed up a shiny Edelbrock carberator a few years ago with white spots all over it.
@@suzannerhodes9844 EXACTLY! Give him some time to find a decent chem rep. As those crocs allow different chemicals to flow right in...or even better - into your sock in a croc, it shouldn't take any time at all to start realizing what's acidic and what's alkalinic, just by the way your skin begins to erode from the bone. Good times had by all! 👌🏻
I have to get a pair too see what all the hype is about with crocks. I've seen em in camo and I like the look. Thinking about it a lot of hospital workers ware em so they must be comfortable I hope.
On my 1987 Toyota Carina the plastic bub caps are made in two parts, I took one apart to get into all the stoopid crevices. It took me an hour to get it fairly clean but not in the crevices. The old fashioned brake pads were basically as estos and they made no black "gunk". I will try oven cleaner - being certain to wear protective gloves !0
The biggest thing I can say is don't wait so long between cleaning them, and any time you buy a new set of wheels or a new car with nice wheels is to wipe the back side of the rims with Dielectric Grease and the hubs, and you won't discolor & slow down and protect against rust and corrosion
I just use meguiars ultimate wheel cleaner. Make sure wheel is dry spray it on wait 3 minutes 90% rinses right off with out even scrubbing and it's safe on all surfaces. Also use it as iton remover on paint
Is there a particular reason you wet the surfaces b4 applying the cleaning products? My way of thinking (unless instructions state otherwise) is to apply while the "whatever" is dry so that I don't dilute or water down the cleaning product. Good video. Thank you.
Well my reasoning was I’ve never done or seen someone wash a car without using water or spraying the car down first. I typically try to get all the dirt or brake dust off first with water then apply the product. The concept kinda goes for both washing cars or wheels. That’s just my way of thinking anyway.
Those sos pads u can also use on glass to take hard water and Minor scratches but always do a small test spot I have used them after I took window tent off just a FYI Napa auto parts also sells a product called aluminum bright I believe is the name
Purple power concentrate works best on getting back to like new finish. SOS pads are not to wise on wheels or glass, too course. try #0000 steel wool from any hardware store or walmart. Fine steel wool that polishes chrome , glass and most finished wood surfaces scratch free. Oven cleaner in most cases will cause clearcoat damage.
How kind to stop an give your fam some water......I see too many channels shooosh their pets away not wanting them even around. Im goin to try oven cleaner , Thanx !
I know this a old video but how well you think that oven cleaner would work on surface rust with brake dust mix together. Trying to save one wheel before buying one for 300

What you end up with is usually pretty weak.

Well worth the effort. Wheels look great !
Dawn power wash works great. I sprayed it on wet rims left it for a few minutes and it wiped right off. No scrubbing required.
Thanks dude. I never would have thought of that. Looks good 👍
To get the sticky weights stuff off I use electrical cleaners or adhesive remover. Works great!
