Yooo Danny thank you for checking out the video. Pretty cool to have you here! Glad the info was informative for you. Just don't forget that PPE like I did in the acid clip 😅🤦🏾♂️
I pretty much only use wheel acid on wrecked wheels (Meguiars wheel brightener until I use it up, then switching to Superior). My general maintenance wash wheel cleaner and post acid wheel cleaner is P&S Brake Buster. I have also used Sonax Wheel Cleaner Plus and Beast, which work amazing, but are not cost effective. Depending how restorable the wheel is (think 5 year old midwest winter wheels vs a California wheel), I will use something like IronX to decon the surface. If the wheel is trashed, I don't bother. Nice vid! I am excited to try out some Superior stuff.
Yea I used brake buster for the longest and I just switched to dark fury and it blows brake buster out of the water forsure, like 10$ cheaper in the gallon at oreilys
Great info breaking down the chemicals, this process would be ideal for everyone’s personal car… for a detailing business it will not as most clients will pay close attention to the interior and exterior paint of their vehicle, that’s where most of the time needs to be focused on, in my experience! I try not to have more than 2 minutes per tire/wheel
Hey, thanks a ton for checking out the video. I totally agree with you! We typically only spend a couple minutes per wheel except for those vehicles that need extra attention this vehicle being one of them. We always quote vehicles based on condition and would charge a little extra for the added time needed to clean and reset wheels such as these. Here on the channel, I always try to be as thorough as possible for our viewers whether you’re a professional detailer or a weekend warrior. Knowing this complete two step process and understanding how each chemical works will allow you to adapt this process for the contaminants on the wheel you are currently detailing. I definitely wouldn’t expect anybody to spend 20 minutes per wheel on every vehicle unless your pricing reflects that amount of detail. Feel free to adapt this and use whatever brand chemicals you want 👊🏽 thanks for taking the time to comment Ulises (and for allowing me to clear that up)
Why acid first and not alkaline, does this process still work backwards? Say I alkaline wash and agitate then rinse thoroughly then acid touchless wash, same results?
Depending on the condition of the wheels, I will use wheel acid more as a pre-soak before contacting the wheels with my alkaline cleaner. Going to get very similar results in the end however, if you’re working on aluminum wheels, you will benefit more from the wheel acid after cleaning because of the brighteners. But you could always use acid before and after your alkaline cleaner. This is just my method and one of the processes I was taught long ago, the choice is yours play around with it and let me know what you think.
They say not to use it on uncoated polished aluminum wheels. Technically if they are coated you can use Dark Fury but I typically would use acid instead.
What about dilution ratios for 25 year old wheels that have rock hard caked on dust solid as a rock that’s black and can’t even see the silver wheel underneath?
I would start with a pretty diluted product. Add more product if you need more cleaning power. Always better to start with a weaker product and work your way up to stronger products

Great video! Production is on point. Great info about acid based wheel cleaner. Very informative.

What is your wrecked wheel cleaning process? And what do you think of this one?
Your channel is awesome
Thank you Danny 🤘🏽
Awesome info, I was looking for an acid to remove minerals that has clogged my ceramic coating.

We need a new car detailed video for everyone 👍when.?
What’s the difference between Superior Products Wire Wheel cleaner and Aluminum Brightener
Wire wheel cleaner is aluminum brightener 👌🏽
I missed it what’s apcd
All purpose cleaner degreaser
The muscle magic
Or green all from them too also works fine as a apcd
Is the dark fury safe on polished aluminum?
They say not to use it on uncoated polished aluminum wheels. Technically if they are coated you can use Dark Fury but I typically would use acid instead.
make sure you wear ppe, yet the guy in the video not wearing ppe lmao.
Do as I say not as I do!! 😅
I know that with stars n stripes you spray the stars first (acid) then spray the stripes after to neutralize it then rinse. It comes out so good.
why say non acid instead of saying alkaline?
Urkel?
Use gloves for pressure washer not for acid 😅
You got me 😅
