Im impressed if this is with a normal soap, and not an actual wheel cleaner or toilet cleaner.. That, or you’ve applied sealant before and just been lazy with rinsing them :P

“Eagle One EnviroShine,” complete with a closeup bad angle shot of a debadged Camaro on the packaging. Just pulled it off the shelf at O’Reilly’s a year or two ago.

It’s normal soap babe, see my reply to Zippy. The wheel/tire may have still been a little wet when I took the ‘after’ photo os maybe that’s the source of the deception. Also, they were tremendously dirty before I washed them.

I use Bilt Hamber Auto Wheels for cleaning and fallout removing in one action.
The Ford Focus Mk2 RS wheels look clean below from a glance.
But spray on Auto Wheels and let it dwell.
Brake dust disolving nicely.
Pressure wash off and tada.

Google says that’s a tire gel tho, which just confuses me even more. Still, pretty good. Both mine and my mom’s rims have burnt on brake dust that just doesn’t budge to normal wheel cleaner, and im too cheap to buy some heftiere acid-y stuff just for 2 set of rims..

perfectly normal, i know the detailer guys also just use the same shampoo on their rims after apply wheel sealant, cause there’s really no reason to deal with harsher cleaners unless you need it.

Its worth using a fallout remover if you do a lot of driving from time to time. On the paint work a clay bar will remove most if not all but its hard going and each pass will inflict more marring on the paint work. A fallout remover will dissolve the brake dust/ fallout deposits while doing no harm to the paint work. Like any chemical of its nature like tar remover, etc... you should never let it dry as you may get ‘ghosting’ and have to polish it off to remove it or worse. But use properly can greatly aid in detailing the car with out doing any harm to it.
In the video below you see very light brown spots, this is iron particles like brake dust that embed into the paint, which will then rust and expand as it does so causing the paint to blister and a failure of the clearcote. The purple streaks ‘leeching’ from the paint work is the iron particles dissolving. Simply wipe and then pressure wash off.
