It would be interesting to find a European or westerner who grew up in China, Japan or Korea with an Asian accent. We’re so accustomed to immigration, eventually we’ll see emigration from the US to China for a better life.

Oven cleaner works great! Also used it on my yellow headlights made them clear and white!
The Easy Off trick worked MIRACLES. I tried expensive wheel cleaners specifically formulated for wheel use that didn't come close to touching the baked on brake dust I wanted to remove. Easy Off took it off, two applications for really tough spots, and this is now my new go to for wheels. Just thinking of all that money wasted on auto products when I had a can of the ultimate wheel cleaner under the kitchen sink kills me!

I think most cleaner manufacturers worry more about being safe, biodegradable and smelling good. What you end up with is usually pretty weak.
Haha, love it! Excellent delivery with no rambling! Dog was cool too.
Dude, your video popped up for me. I went past a dollar store and bought that oven cleaner. My wheels had brake dust and more. I’ve tried many automotive products……none worked, the brownish glaze would not go away on my chrome wheels. Sprayed on the oven cleaner. It began to work immediately. Rinsed and they shine again…….kudos

thats stinky! 😀😀Ew! 😀😀
Nice work!! Well worth the effort. Wheels look great !
Dawn power wash works great. I sprayed it on wet rims left it for a few minutes and it wiped right off. No scrubbing required.
Thanks dude. I never would have thought of that. Looks good 👍
Purple Power is probably the best product I’ve come across for wheels. Just make sure if you are using it as a concentrate, wet any painted surfaces with water first to prevent damaging the paint on the wheel.
Nice comparison, thanks! Did the cleaner / brake dust repellent help much?
To get the sticky weights stuff off I use electrical cleaners or adhesive remover. Works great!
Nice job .. and them are the nicest model of alum wheels I've ever seen .. most are overdone designs, yours are just clean cut and NICE.
Thank you. The oven cleaner worked amazingly well. I'm headed to the store to buy some Easy Off. 👍✌️
Thank you for the hack!!! I'm going to get me some oven cleaner!!!
The one thing I would add to your fine work is to use a pressure washer when rinsing the wheels off. They work amazingly well when removing really stubborn stains.
Damn!!!!!!!! you did an awesome job.
Good video. I learned from you that oven cleaner works good on filthy/Dirty truck rims. I’m going to try this on my rims. Thank you for sharing. Tim in MI
Those sos pads with soap work awesome on whitewalls also!!!
Dude what a difference!!!! WoW!
That's wicked awesome can't believe how clean they came out...how did u get the smaller inner circle rings clean? Even when u showed urself clean ing w each product those small inner rings looked rusted ..now they look like almost brand new rims wtf that's amazing..plz keep these types of videos /tips n tricks coming ..I would have never guessed oven cleaner 👏👏👏
You did a nice job and that dog he did a great job LOL
Wow this is Giovanni from Philly I'm gonna try the oven cleaner this week thanks enjoy your day today
And by what Jabbaweezy said... You dun and got yourself a new perscriber! Keep up the good work bro.
Years ago before oven cleaner I took 3 coats of paint off an old John Deere tractor one coat per application of Red Devil lye mixed with cooked Fautless starch as a holding agent. It took the paint off to the bare metal. Had it in old cast iron pot. Used thick rubber gloves. Pit it on and let sit few minutes then hose it off. Repeated for each coat. Then washed with baking soda to nuteralize.
FYI regarding the Brillo pads. You can also use "0000" steel wool, you can get at any auto parts store. It's the finest grade you can buy, it won't scratch chrome, and works fantastic on glass. I use it on my windshields after cleaning them, and it removes anything the cleaner misses.
Here’s one for all you guys from way down under in Oz. Victoria specifically, you know, the most locked down state in the world. Anyway I’ve been using Ajax spray and wipe on my alloys for years. Cleans really well, gets rid of brake dust and the best part is that it doesn’t destroy the clear coat if your wheels are coated. Also only $3 bucks Australian, so even if you where to use one bottle per wheel your still only $12 bucks down. It really is that good. Give it a crack you’ve got nothing to loose. Cheers from down under.

Wow thats insane! Never thought to use oven cleaner. Makes total sense though
Good doggy ! Great vid I like the comparison of the different cleaners, I've used the dollar store oven cleaner on a bunch of stuff works great but will mess up the clear coat on wheels, being that I'm in Ohio our rims are so jacked up they need stripped polished and re-cleared anyways.
Thanks man, I used oven cleaner, absolutely amazing, thank you !
Been using oven cleaner on my chrome rims for years..I don't let it sit long just long enough to brush it around. Rinse it off..Then I use 0000 steel wool to shine it..i never buy chrome polish and they shine.
Thanks! Totally helped me out! Used oven cleaner did great

Well done. Elbow grease does wonders.
I used to use oven cleaner to safely remove enamel paint from vintage RC cars and models. It worked great if you didn't want to ruin the old 1960's and 70's plastic. Just a little elbow grease and your job of restoring a vintage or classic RC or model became a cinch.
Thumbs up for the crocs! 👍
Great Demo thanks
I love your dogs name ❤️
Nice work. I like your style
Thank you. Oven cleaner from dollar tree is all I’ll ever use from now on.
Listen. Purple power is great. I love the stuff. But it leaves a residue. It’s Bc of the acids it has in it. Oven cleaner is best for rims. Purple power is best for motors. It is what it is. It’s a degreaser. Works great on gasoline and motor oils.
Good video man. I’m about to rack up on oven cleaner. Lol
Turtle Wax has Bug & Tar remover that work real good on just about every part on your car that have asphalt tar and cleans the tar from your smoking pipe and bug guts from anywhere. They also have Turtle Wax Chrome Polish that works great removing light to moderate rust on chrome. I grew up by the Pacific and my bike got rusty everywhere there was chrome, especially the wheels. It made my bike look almost new every time I shined it up. I used purple power to mop floors at a retail store where I used to work, and it did nothing to get rid of public foot traffic dirt. A squirt of cheap dish soap in a mop buck did better. They also used a cleaner to clean the parking spots just outside so the oil and grease left by the customer's vehicle would not track inside. That stuff got expensive, so they tried purple power outside instead. It only smeared the oil farther into the lot.
Never thought about using cleaner on wheel barrels before ... i thank you

one thing we use for wheel cleaning tools is cheap toilet brushes from the dollar store just cut the big end of the handle off so the stem will fit in a drill and usually get a couple for a buck works great even if they are still one the vehicle
What I used in place of the brake dust repellant, is ceramic wax, a spray on type. Makes wheels easier to clean in the future.
nice tip with the oven cleaner much cheaper than the acids for aluminum. I will try it.
Sticky tape residue and vinyl stickers come off super easy with WD40 👍
Purple Power: known to the state of California to cause cancer Oven cleaner: known to KZreadrs to cause blindness... from shiny wheels. Cool video!
For control. Just the water and brillo will work?
Iron and aluminum do not play well together, so the brillo pad, could easily impregnate your aluminum wheels (if they're aluminum) with bits of steel, causing a type of corrosion that will badly pit the aluminum.
Wash tyre and hydrate doggo ...the day is complete
You can use the purple power for the tires too. I use superclean (another degreaser) diluted 4 to 1 & it works wonders for the wheel & tire.

Go to your local janitorial supply store, get some high alkaline cleaner (generally stronger and cheaper per OZ than typical wheel cleaners since you can get it condensed). Use gloves, spray it on there. Works wonders. Also if you have polished stainless steel cookware, let it soak in a high alkaline solution over night, will come out with a brilliant shine like you just had them chrome plated. Also, grab a foaming spray bottle for better coverage. I re-use Soft Scrub spray bottles since empty foaming spray bottles aren't very popular.

I use Scrubbing Bubbles bathroom cleaner on aluminum wheels as long as they are not clearcoated. Might have to try oven cleaner in comparison but I get Scrubbing Bubbles dirt cheap. Super Clean gallon cut 5 to 1 for an all around cleaner.
Can you use the over cleaner on steel?
You can also use steel wool at the FINEST grit number to polish chrome
What about the middle part of the tire / both work great
What bout the factory clear coat ..what's u use to remove that with out sanding??
does the oven cleaner make the aluminum look dull after? wanna clean the barrels on my rims and don’t wanna mess them up. Thanks
After did you put anything on them clear coat or polish and if not do them turn a milky white dull color.
Excellent, needed an idea to clean the rims on our Camaro. Thanks for the video and for speeding up the brushing process.
Nice Job
I just use meguiars ultimate wheel cleaner. Make sure wheel is dry spray it on wait 3 minutes 90% rinses right off with out even scrubbing and it's safe on all surfaces. Also use it as iton remover on paint
I know from years of experience, if you leave Purple Power on aluminum for to long it'll stain. I messed up a shiny Edelbrock carberator a few years ago with white spots all over it.

Old magnesium wheels will clean up perfectly with SOS pads. They can be buffed after or left as is for bright finish.
I used oven cleaner to help degrease an an engine block…. Wrapped the block in a thick trash bag and sprayed it and closed it up… did that a few times to trap the fumes then took a brush to it. It worked well.
I know this a old video but how well you think that oven cleaner would work on surface rust with brake dust mix together. Trying to save one wheel before buying one for 300
The biggest thing I can say is don't wait so long between cleaning them, and any time you buy a new set of wheels or a new car with nice wheels is to wipe the back side of the rims with Dielectric Grease and the hubs, and you won't discolor & slow down and protect against rust and corrosion

Maybe not with your heavy tires and their size but with common vehicle wheels that dirt affects the balance. Good to clean em up.
They look great they’re in good enough condition they won’t take much to polish into mirrors
can oven cleaner be used on aluminum wheels or just chrome wheels
On my 1987 Toyota Carina the plastic bub caps are made in two parts, I took one apart to get into all the stoopid crevices. It took me an hour to get it fairly clean but not in the crevices. The old fashioned brake pads were basically as estos and they made no black "gunk". I will try oven cleaner - being certain to wear protective gloves !0

Purple power concentrate works best on getting back to like new finish. SOS pads are not to wise on wheels or glass, too course. try #0000 steel wool from any hardware store or walmart. Fine steel wool that polishes chrome , glass and most finished wood surfaces scratch free. Oven cleaner in most cases will cause clearcoat damage.
Try Napa Aluminum Brightener works great.

Is there a particular reason you wet the surfaces b4 applying the cleaning products? My way of thinking (unless instructions state otherwise) is to apply while the "whatever" is dry so that I don't dilute or water down the cleaning product. Good video. Thank you.

Well my reasoning was I’ve never done or seen someone wash a car without using water or spraying the car down first. I typically try to get all the dirt or brake dust off first with water then apply the product. The concept kinda goes for both washing cars or wheels. That’s just my way of thinking anyway.
