There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
My painted, machined face, clear-coated wheels, though, with about 20,000 miles on them, regular washes, never waxed/sealed to my knowledge, came out pretty nice. Had a slight build-up on them in the corners, but as advertised, that stuff goes from neon yellow to red/dark brown as it works, and you can just rinse it off. I opted for a soft-bristled wheel brush to agitate it a bit more, and I felt like I had to use a lot of product to keep all of the wheels wet while I worked on them.
Unfortunately I had to take care of them at a local car wash with a $3.50 minimum to activate the hose, so I tried to tackle all 4 wheels at once, which wasn't easy. It takes some time for this Full Effect to start working and if it's breezy out, it can dry up sort of fast. Still, it did a pretty good job. I also bought some Sonax Wheel Cleaner Plus, which worked much faster, and seemed to work a lot better, on my mom's Mazda 6 wheels. She was amazed with the results, and so was I. I'll need to find a small wheel woolie or something to use to attack the corners of the spokes a little better on all of them next time, but other than that, I definitely recommend this. The Sonax WC Plus is probably my go-to for the future, but this also works pretty well.
2001 dodge caravan. The rims have never been scrubbed and the wheels have never been scrubbed either. Sure they have went through automatic carwashes, my wife usually did it about once a week but never have these rims been scrubbed at all by hand. Surprisingly they were not nearly as bad as some youtube videos I saw so I guess car washes once a week still helped out a bunch.
Anyways following directions for both, the sonax sat on the rims for 4 minutes and the meguires about 30 seconds.
I really expected more from a $20 bottle of wheel cleaner, I saw lots of youtube videos and I just felt this was going to stomp meguires. Keep in mind I had no plans on putting this up against anything. Turned out I forgot I put the $5 add on bottle of meguires in an earlier order to meet my minimum then the next day I bought this.
Anyways the sonax did ok. It took a fair amount off, It did turn nice and red which makes you think its working its butt off. After the rinse though, it was still very dirty. The meguires rim, you could see in just 30 seconds it sliding right off. Rinse and inspect and it got a lot more of the rim cleaned than the sonax rim.
So for the other 2 wheels I did the exact same test but this time I used a small round detailing brush to get into the lug nut holes and went ahead and used it to go over the entire rims, mind you this was a fairly soft brush so there was no real scrubing action here.
The sonax wheel did better this time but still left some areas on the rim. I suspected as much as it was not a scrubbing brush I was using. The meguires rim just amazed me. Same brush, almost no pressure at all and after the rinse that rim looked amazing. There were still a couple spots but it got the majority of it off with so little effort.
So my conclusion, Sonax did ok. Not $20 ok but it did work. The $5 bottle of meguires though, it blew it away. In a no touch situation it was better than sonax but not night day difference. In touching the rims to clean though, sonax again did ok but that $5 bottle did it in a fraction of the time. The downside with meguires is you will go through more of it quicker. I did 4 rims and tires and I had between half and 1/4th left. So if sonax can clean about 15 cars with one bottle then maybe it is more price efficient but it also took longer and more cleaning effort.

1. Wash the rims with water (I used warm water)
2. Apply the Sonax and let it stay 3-5 min. Make sure you spray just a bit. Don’t wash them with Sonax :D
3. Rinse it just a bit with water
4. Use a drill brush to wash the rims (https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07PKSX3RW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
5. Rinse with water
My rims look like brand new in the end. Highly recommended.
