Anyone Tried Adam's Green Wheel Cleaner?

In the Zaino vs. Adam's thread this was said:

I didn't want to jack that thread. Anyone else have any experience with this stuff? I'm always looking to speed up the process of cleaning my wheels. I probably spend at least as much time washing cleaning the wheels and wheel-wells as the rest of the car combined. Also, does anyone know how well this works on the clear-coated polished aluminum wheels? The video specifically mentions not to use it on aluminum billet wheels. I want to make sure I'm not damaging the finish. The adam's site was pretty helpful, just looking for insight from you guys. Thanks!

I think it's just Simple Green re-bottled and jacked in price.

I think that might be the all purpose cleaner. The wheel cleaner is clear. I haven't tried it yet.

If you have clear coat on your wheels, treat it like your paint. Wash it, dry it, wax it (I do). After this, brake dust is very easy to get rid of.

I would have to take the wheels off to wax!

Maybe I'll try it next weekend.

We just had a seminar at Adam's in Colorado. He cleaned up my tires with the green cleaner. Great stuff.

Green wheel cleaner is a good product, it does what it claims.. I buy mine by the gallon..

The all purpose cleaner is FANTASTIC! I wish i could get this stuff in a 5 gallon container. Re-bottled simple green my rear! This stuff will clean anything! Its like simple green x100. I use it under the hood, on the tires, wheel wells, microfiber spot treatment, and even on my stove as a degreaser. Just don't spray it onto any hot surfaces or there will be hell to pay.. heat turns this stuff into a ammonia / bleach mixture scented cleaner.

I just got some and it's great stuff. Even before when I carefully washed and waxed my wheels I never got the shine I get from using the Adams cleaner. I have no idea why it works better than soap and water, or how, and I don't care to be honest. This stuff rocks.
