Brown Royal vs. Costco Oil Eater vs. No Touch

First I clean with my current favorite wheel cleaner, Costco Oil Eater. Then I try No Touch, and then I try Brown Royal. This is the first of 3 tests today. I have diluted Brown Royal with 3:1 water.

whoa whoa, hold up! your cleaning the same wheel with all 3 cleaners! how on earth do you expect one product to come out on top??

@skylinefan3465 I can see your point. My thinking was to first show how the Costco Oil Eater and the No Touch both could not clean off the stubborn stains. And then I would follow-up with the Brown Royal to see if it could do what the other two could not. I agree it would be better to test these 3 products on 3 identical wheels with identical amounts of brake dust and identical stubborn stains, using identical amounts of agitation, but I do not have such a sample set available to me.

Good video. But for baked on brake dust stains, you will need to use Brown Royal full strength let dwell 1 minute and agitate with a soft bristle brush. After they are gone, then you can dilute 1:3 for future cleaning. Dont use acid on clearcoated wheels which you have or you will burn them. You can also use a metal polish if they are not 100% gone. Thanks for posting the video.

@Flashvette Thank you for the comments and pointers. I'll try it at full strength as per your instructions, and if possible, I'll make a video.

Thank you for the tip. I'll try some metal polish.

you need an acid based cleaner and they will come off :)

@gshdrums Thanks for the tip. I don't have any experience with acid based cleaners.

and next time you get new tires. clean your wheels the wheel guys fingerprints made the stains.

but yea use bilberry and follow the directions. let sit 5-10 min. agitate then jet wash off. no cleaner will do a good job if its on a wet wheel and not let soak in.

[racerc2000]

you need to try bilberry wheel cleaner.

@kentpublic i do it everyday :)..............If your wheels arnt clear coated they will turn them white though so be very careful....Why not try some metal polish? A non scracthing type like Megsuiars NXT GEN Metal Polish or even try some normal car polish...
