We Tried Meguiar's Hot Rims Black Wheel Cleaner...Here's What We Found Out

Jan 10, 2023

If you're looking for a powerful wheel cleaner that can handle sensitive black wheel finishes, Meguiar's Hot Rims Black Wheel Cleaner is worth trying. We recently put this cleaner to the test and here's what we found out.

The first thing we noticed about Meguiar's Hot Rims Black Wheel Cleaner is that it is specifically formulated to clean a wide variety of black wheel finishes, including glossy, matte, satin, and black chrome. The formula is designed to provide maximum cleaning power, yet it is gentle enough to leave your wheel finishes unfazed.

Another great feature of this cleaner is its foaming gel formula. The foam provides excellent coverage and maximum dwell time, which allows the specialized formula to break down dirt, grime, and brake dust effectively. The foaming action also helps to lift dirt and grime off the wheels, making it easier to clean.

However, there are a couple of downsides to keep in mind when using this cleaner. One is that it could damage uncoated wheels if not used properly, so it's important to make sure you're using it on the appropriate type of wheels. Additionally, some users have reported that extended use of this cleaner may cause some fading in the rims, so keep an eye on this if you plan on using it frequently.

In conclusion, Meguiar's Hot Rims Black Wheel Cleaner is a great option for anyone looking for a powerful cleaner that can handle sensitive black wheel finishes. The formula is specifically designed to clean glossy, matte, satin, and black chrome finishes and the foaming gel provides great coverage and maximum dwell time. However, it could damage uncoated wheels and may cause some fading in the rims after extended use so it's important to be careful and pay attention to any changes on your rims.
