Picked this up at WaxStock at the weekend.. 5 Litres of concentrated Angelwax Bilberry Alloy Wheel Cleaner.

Tried it out and very Impressed....

They were dirtier than the photo shows, grime and brake dust covering the front alloys.

I diluted the Bilberry 1:10 and put it in a spray bottle, sprayed on, allowed to do it's thing then used then agitated it with my new long reach alloy wheel brush.. also bought from Waxstock. I wiped round with a sponge too.

When the above was done, I rinsed with clean water...

Job's a good-un.

Really impressed and would recommend it to anyone wanting alloy wheel cleaner.

What i mean is, those wheels look pretty spanking, is it really worth spending out on stuff like this to remove dirt that would probably just wipe off with hot soapy water. Would like to see what it could do to proper stained wheels though. cus I clean my alloys with proper alloy cleaner I don't have any issue with wheels getting in bad condition. also this stuff is good on alloys that you know aren't going to loose the finsh on the alloys due to the acid in the product.

Once diluted properly I think you'll find the likes of smart wheels is near enough equal in price with the benefit it of it coming with 1000's of detailers/Valetors usage recommendations. I can vouch for it working perfect on heavily soiled wheels too :)

That said, so will a non acidic cleaner as they're usually alkaline based rather than PH neutral, but that tends to take a little longer to degrade the protection :)

The wheels look to be in pretty good condition anyway, not stained etc. That 1st pic looks like the dirt would just wipe off. Certainly not severely covered, just brake dust by the looks of it. Indeed, but the stuff you buy cheap from a motorfactors or supermarket is often strong acid which over time degrades the finish of the wheel.

This is the original Bilberry apparently :boggle: I am a big fan of Valet Pro Bilberry but have just bought 5 litres of Smart Wheels as I was very impressed when I tried a couple of weeks back :)

	Is that different to ValetPRO's Bilberry wheel cleaner? I've got some of that and it's great stuff, also at 1:10. Wanted to go to Waxstock but couldn't be bothered to drive 2 hours each way for it :lol: How was it?
