Griot's Garage Wheel Cleaner features a balanced, high-tech formula that is safe and effective on all wheels: chromed, polished, powder coated, aluminum, or steel. Wheel Cleaner is so effective it's approved by BBS®, Dayton Wire Wheels®, and Tire Rack®.

Wheel Cleaning Tools

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Call me a skeptic I have tried multiple methods and cleaners for wheels with varying levels of success. And although I have had consistent success with Griot's products (i.e. Best of Show Wax, Speed Shine, Tire Dressing, micro-fibre towels, etc.), I figured the wheel cleaner to be a variation of Simple Green just based on the color. Wow, was I wrong. Based on the other reviews and the proverbial "just for grins", I ordered a bottle and gave it a try. The results were outstanding as it really works as advertised and reviewed. I am a convert and now stock a couple of the gallon refills in my garage.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Wheel cleaner is weak, maybe heavy duty is better I bought this at PepBoys instead of my usual Armor All Wheel Cleaner. The Griot's product price was double, and the amount was barely over half. My Porsche wheels are painted w/clear coat. Stock Porsche pads throw a good amount of black dust. This Griot Cleaner was very weak and removal of the dust was entirely due to manual agitation. I cannot recommend this product as normal car wash soap works just as well. Not sure if I'll try the heavy duty cleaner, I will likely go back to the Armor All Wheel cleaner which works well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Wheel Cleaner by Far Over the years I've used numerous wheel cleaners. Some good, some not so good. I've never believed in the "hose on, hose off claims" of the other products. I'm glad you never claim your wheel cleaner is hose on, hose off. With just a little microfiber brush work, brake dust and road grime comes right off leaving a clean and shiny wheel. Perfect for both my aluminum after market wheels and stock wheels. I started with buying a 32 oz bottle and now am on my 2nd, 1 gallon refill. Thanks Griot's.

I have a C7 Grand Sport with black  aluminum wheels.  I have been using your "safe for all finishes" Wheel Cleaner according to your instructions but still need to take 30 to 40 min rubbing the wheels off by hand. Any suggestions?

Asked by: Vicdixon
You could wax your wheels once clean with our item# 10916 Liquid Gloss Poly Wax to add a layer of protection and give them some slickness to help ease the scrubbing of any excessive brake dust. You might also want to look at our Heavy Duty Wheel cleaner. Heavy-Duty Wheel Cleaner is a pH-balanced, non-acidic, and non-caustic formula that's blended so it clings to the surface to promote deep cleaning. Spray Heavy-Duty Wheel Cleaner on, allow it to remain on the wheel for 3 to 5 minutes, gently agitate with any one of our cleaning tools, and then rinse clean. Safe for use on any wheel finish: painted, chromed, uncoated aluminum, powder coated, and anodized.
