Dan507 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 that looks good, is it safe to use with after market painted wheels? at the moment im using autoglym wheel cleaner. it says that your not suppose to use it on certain wheels. Link to post Share on other sites
lukEp Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) Right few questions start off... How much do you get for the £15 GB or £17.24 NGB. how long does it usually last? considering us starlet people usually have 15"-16" wheels. Why type of surfaces has it been tested on?Thanks Luke Edited October 20, 2012 by lukEp Link to post Share on other sites

Bildo Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Might be worth mentioning that people won't need to use this with every wash mate, as most people won't understand what an iron fallout remover is etc.For me I probably use Purple Rain (or a similar product) 3-4 times a year or so, this therefore makes it sound more cost effective than it does in the previous post.It can also be used on bodywork to remove contaminants that have built up over time. If I'm doing a full detail I'll often do the lower part of the car with this before I clay (along with a tar remover.) This way you can ensure that most of the contaminants within that area have been removed therefore leaving less for the clay bar to pick up reducing the chance of marring from the clay bar.My personal recommendation is this, (I do it 3-4 times a year to ensure I have good wheel protection all year round:Wash wheel with normal wheel cleaner to remove the loose dirtUse Purple Rain to remove the more stubborn stuff (this also gives Purple Rain a chance to really get on the surface which increases it's performance.)Clay the wheel if necessary.Seal the wheel. (I use Planet Polish Wheel Seal & Shine, absolutely amazing stuff.)Once you've done this then you'll only need to wash the wheel with normal shampoo whilst the protection lasts, it'll be insanely easy to wash and sometimes a hit with a pressure washer alone is enough for a perfectly clean wheel. (Protection using this process normally lasts 3-4 months for me.)Once the protection has gone I'd normally repeat the above process. Link to post Share on other sites

Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I mixed mine 50/50 with water and it still works perfect so could go at least 25/75 as a every wash cleaner I am going to try that next but you dont even need to brush the wheel just let the stuff do its job and wash off!!
