The wheels came out absolutely clean, and there was no black or break-dust residue afterwards.

I couldn't believe how quick this product worked on my wheels when I first used it. I knew it was good stuff but I thought my wheels were relatively clean. Turns out, they weren't that clean. At least, this stuff got a lot of gunk off. I would strongly recommend you wear eye protection when using this product (or any chemical for that matter), especially with any brush that might "sling" any part of the product back in your face. I had sunglasses on when I first used this product with a new wheel brush and I'm glad I did. Now, I don't use any chemical without eye protection. Just a friendly tip.
Be sure and rinse your wheels prior to applying this product. You want to work on cool wheels when using. Oh, and you might want to grab an acid resistant sprayer. You might want a few. I put this product in a Bona floor cleaner spray bottle (obviously without the Bona product) because I think their sprayer is the most acid/chemical resistant one there is. Sprayers may last a day or they may last a lifetime. Good luck, and again, don't freak out about words like acid that you may not fully understand. Not all of us took chemistry in high school (though I think we all SHOULD have!).
Also if you’re wearing glasses with anytime of film you might want to remove them because it will burn off that film. I never learn my lesson and always mess up my prescription glasses. No big deal, as long as my wheels are clean af.
A single gallon, back when it was carried as 3M professional Wheel Brightener, lasted me 5 years. And it works so well, that most of the time, if I was washing my car every other week, I would just spray on and rinse off without any brushing. And despite it being a professional strength cleaner, it's easy on the finish of the wheels. I've got a set that has seen this product regularly for over 5 years and it still look as good as the day I bought it. Use it in conjunction with a light layer of wax on the wheel and it makes cleaning off the brake dust a breeze.
The only issue I had was the smell of the solution. It smells like industrial strength stuff. Despite the smell it still rates a 5 star in my book.
