Hi Everyone,

With all my ranting about DPE wheels I figured it was only logical to find a great product to clean them with. Acute Performance is now an authorized dealer for P21S cleaners. P21S is a German company that's been around since 1984. Its products are used by many detailing professionals and the P21S Gel Wheel Cleaner is safe on all types of wheels.

You all know how I like to introduce new products on the forum by giving away free samples! I'm looking to give 2-3 bottles away for free as long as you're willing to review it and have dirty wheels.

Please post of a picture of how dirty your wheels are and you may receive a sample bottle.

hmm...Michael, I got some Breyton GTSR wheels that hasnt been washed for uh....mebbe 6 or 7 months? LOL. AT LEAST 6 or 7 months. They are matte black and does not look dirty. I'll try to take some pix when the weather gets a bit better.

The stock wheels on my Audi are crazy dirty BTW.

I have a couple of company vehicles with lots of grime and dirt. I keep my BMW wheels clean always but if you want to see some other company cars let me know.

simple green is good but p21s is better. p21s wheel gel contains no acid and is not lye based.

this looks like a good solution for me as my wheels collect more break dust than anyone else. i have gloss black wheels. below is a picture of my wheels after 2 weeks, and i hate cleaning them i would like to sample this item cause the video makes it look effortless. let me know if i can sample it. And i will Def review it as i hate breakdust and dirty rims.
thanks

i will provide a review, and you do not need to send me a bottle

no before/after pics though....I already cleaned and installed them

bought some from amazon for around 20 bucks

it eats right through the caked on brake dust, however anyone who tells you it's spray and rinse is stretching the truth or perhaps the wheels are just not that dirty

the sponge provided was perfect and required little elbow grease to clean effectively, even on the inside of the wheels

I bought the small bottle with sponge and still have enough left over for cleaning my winter setup inside and out

I would buy again

Yes for sure, unless you overuse it. I cleaned both inside and out on my VB3's with plenty left over to clean my winter setup.

Something out of the blue. I was dreaming last night cleaning my wheels and used some wheel cleaner. Sprayed on and let sit for 10 seconds. I dunno how I actually got under my car and cleaned it too! I sprayed the water and the dirt just came right off! And it dried itself too! LOL. I KNEW IT WAS A DREAM!
