    Cool Super Clean Wheels!

    Dragons Breath has been mentioned before on the Forum and that's why I bought some.
    Just tried for the 1st time on our return from the Laon Classique after c1100 miles driving.
    The results hopefully speak for themselves.
    I have no connection to the supplier or manufacturer.

    These 'reactive' wheel cleaners are indeed very very good.

    I currently have some Autoglym Advanced stuff as I ran out of my go to stuff and it was all Halfords had that was decent.

    My usual go to is Bilt Hamber Autowheel. Auto-Wheel - Bilt Hamber All Bilt Hamber products are brilliant.

    Have to say, after a recommendation on here I have been really impressed with Dragons Breath after years of generic wheel cleaners.

    I've tried a couple of different brands of these wheel cleaners, Dragons Breath works the best. Usually gets all the gunk first time without even scrubbing, the others have needed a couple of applications and a bit of scrubbing with the wheel brush.

    Sat in a real one, may never wash again!

    Hi
    Be very careful with split rim wheels and some wheel cleaners as it can cause corrosion and leaks in the future.
    Did a deep cleaning of the wheels last year, not a fun job!

    Old wheel cleaners like Wonder Wheels were acid based and that would cause issues with corrosion. The modern stuff like Dragon's Breath, Autoglym and Bilt Hamber are all much kinder and tend to be pH balanced.
