False Advertising

Before I bought this I used 409 and a rag to clean my wheels. It worked just as well as this. Clearly I need to buy a wheel brush to use along with any cleaner. When you think about it any cleaner that could REALLY remove all that brake dust and road grime would probably be unsafe to be spraying around and rinsing into the gutter. Think I’ll use up this bottle (with a wheel brush) and go back to 409 or the car wash bucket. Nothing worth doing is ever easy.

Worthless
This product has absolutely no effect when applied as directed. If you want to scrub this will work about like a spray bottle with soapy water in it.

EDIT: I have slowly taken a liking to this product as I’ve experimented over time, but to get your money’s worth you have to ignore the directions (though take note of the warnings). What you want to do is put a couple sprays on a paper towel so it’s moist and then the brake dust just wipes away. I have pretty serious brake dust issues on my RX-8 so it takes a couple PT’s per rim even after 100 miles or so, but it makes a huge difference on the overall look of the car to have nice clean rims. You can also push the paper towel with a finger about two knuckles deep into a lug nut brush and it actually cleans the gunk out of there (which is darn near impossible to get any other way).

No magic in the bottle
I have a 2005 Honda van and I used the Black Magic rim cleaner today for the first time. The product DOES NOT do what it states and I was very disappointed with the results. You can get the same results by just using soap and water. I think the reason that they tell you to dry with a towel is the fact that the brake dust and dirt are still on the wheel rim after the application. Do not buy this product if you do not want to be disappointed like I was!
