I didn't like Griot's wheel cleaner much; it didn't work any better than plain old (car) soap and water.

hmm, rgal raved about it :dunno:

I am with Steve. I don't like Griot's wheel cleaner much. But I don't like any of the other non acid based cleaners either. Most of the Griot's cleaning stuff works amazingly well though, so I would try the under carriage spray in a heartbeat. I am also aware that many, many people swear by it. I just don't think it does anything more than normal soap.

What undercarriage are you cleaning? Cosmoline off the Lotus?

You are cleaning the undercarriage on a car that you are selling? Wow. Very nice of you.

The undercarriage spray is NOT a cleaner. It's a coating that makes things look nice and shiny, it's a cover up. It does work well.

I really like the Griots wheel cleaner myself, spray it on, let it set a bit, wash off most of the dirt. It only takes a bit of wiping to get the rest especially if you wax the wheels

I used to use a bottle of cheap tire shine (even used the cherry-smelling stuff until I realized how long that odor would waft into the cabin) and a cloth. Just spray directly on the wheel well, wipe down. Had to be careful not to get any on the treads, for obvious fokkin' reasons.

:P "obvious fokkin' reasons!" :lol:

edit: I've liked all their other cleaning and other products, just found the wheel cleaner to be ineffective.

Ja, it's like tire shine. Use it once the undercarriage is already clean.

I do rave about the wheel cleaner. It's quicker and more thorough than soap and water, for me. But I do clean my wheels fairly often, and take them off to clean them - rinse off the surface dirt, spritz with cleaner, wipe with a cloth or sponge, rinse. The Heliums are the first wheels I ever bought new, and I want to keep them lookin' good.
