Brake dust is tough stuff and can etch your wheel's finish if left unchecked. Road grime is more of an aesthetic issue, but when it combines with brake dust it can be double tough to clean. 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 1 out of 5 by from Not working for me First time buyer; made an order to cover a full car wash. Everything worked pretty nicely except this wheel cleaner. I went through 1/4 of the bottle, used a brush (the large flexible wheel brush), and I still needed to go through each wheel with a rag to have my wheels clean. Important to note: the wheels were not particularly dirty. The car was detailed just three weeks ago! I was just trying to get my car back to a similar state. Maybe I expected too much, but overall, it did not perform any better than dish soap. I may try the heavy duty version next. Will see as it is substantially more expensive, so it would have to perform substantially better!

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.

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.
