I bought the Black Magic stuff during my lunch break yesterday to tide me over, and I'm going to order one of these real-deal products today.

Another but of info, if you go to harley davidson, or pretty much any motorcycle shop around, they sell stuff called S100 wheel cleaner. It is P21S with a different name. It is $9.95 for 500ml vs $17.95 for 500ml of P21S.

I use the S100 all the time. Great results and it is very easy to source at any decent motorcycle shop.

hey all we have the Sonax Wheel Cleaner which I believe is probably one of the safest most effective wheel cleaners out there.

take a look at this thread

Now its not going to easily remove 5 years or more of caked on brake dust but take a look at this thread it has done some wonders.

This is our go to wheel cleaner for 99% of the jobs at the shop.

For cheap I use Mean Green - $5 a gallon at the local dollar store. If it needs something more, I get out my bottle of p21s.

I agree completely. I've tried sealants, Swissvax Autobahn, even Rejex. I don't think any of them did much of anything.
