    I'm thinking of trying one of these. Which would you guys recommend I dive at first?

    They would be used on wheels.

    Cheers,

    Grime Reaper makes a great floor an concrete cleaner if you spill oil on it when doing oil changes. That is what I have started using mine for.

    I look at PB or Megs as D&D suggested.

    I'll have to try CG Grime Reaper next time I need to clean the driveway. I recently used a diluted ratio when washing the vinyl siding on my house. It worked great!

    As for the OP, PB Spray and Rinse works great on wheels. I haven't used Grime Reaper directly on the wheels but don't see how it would compare to the cutting ability of PB. One item to note, the sprayer needs to be flushed after each use given the acidity of the product. Learned this the hard way...

    Use Grime Reaper 100% or 1:1 for concrete, it works pretty well. Love it when I am changing the oil and umm have a little spill because the stream of oil and catch basin is not lined up. Yeah it makes quick work of the mess.

    I haven't used the Megs but would recommend the PB for sure.

    Spray and Rinse is an excellent product! I use it 1:1 to clean my own wheels and I lieterally do not need to agitate.

    I used Spray & Rinse on my sister in laws car today. Cut right thru the baked on brake dust with no agitation required. No telling how long the wheels went uncleaned... Great product.

    PB's is great. When Ken recommended it to me, I wasn't really a fan of PB stuff. But he INSISTED I tried it, so I did. And I was glad! S&R is definitely a good wheel cleaner. But not in the same league as WB in terms of cleaning abilities I feel.

    i would recommend against grime reaper. it's not great for what it is. it also burns when it touches your skin!

    Yeah that and strong wash! Had a bit of a spill when I was mixing some in a spray bottle and got over my hands and yeah didnt fell so good and dried out my hands in 2 secs flat. Another reason I always wear gloves when I use cleaners other than normal car soap.

    I've found it works fine in the wheel wells. Also used a very diluted portion to wash the vinyl siding on my house. Worked great there!

    Go with the wheel brightner. More bang for your buck.

    1 gallon can make 4 gallons of some potent stuff.

    I think wheel brightner will give you a bigger range of cleaning options. Used 1:1 and it will take off the worst of the worst with ease. I've seen people cut it down to 10:1 for maintainence washes on their own car.

    You may not need something that strong 95% of the time but atleast you'll have it if the need arises.

    Its also pretty damn cheap.
