This would be impressive if you got the same results without brushes. You'd have the same results with Simple Green for a 1/4 of the cost.

I would not use simple green on my wheels, due to possible damage to your wheels.

Default I've heard good things.

Other member seem to like this product. I'm picking up a new A6 and would like to order, I'm assuming it's perfectly safe for the wheel finish?

You will not get the same result with Simple green. Sonax with pressure washer is usually enough for my once a month! wheel cleaning with OEM pads where SG will not get them as clean even with heavy brushing.

What kind of spray bottle is everyone using with their sonax? I am using a dual action one, and hate it.

The best thing I've found instead of brushes are the mr clean magic erasers. From white shoes to golf clubs, to car rims. I've used them for years sometimes with just the mr clean eraser, bucket of water, and a towel to dry them. No scrubbing involved.
