Yep...Easy Off Oven Cleaner
I've always been frustrated by the poor level of success of most commercial wheel cleaners. They're generally expensive, and never have I been able to just "spray on / spray off" and end up with clean wheels. I always have to get down and scrub to some degree....and if I'm going to have to scrub anyway, why am wasting $6 on a spray bottle of "cleaner"?
Then I saw the Easy Off at the grocery store the other day...and it dawned on me. I bought a can for $2 and tried it. And the stuff freakin' works.
I knew that it was extremely potent stuff, and very capable of causing damage to my wheels if I left it on for too long, so I prayed some on the front wheel, then on the back wheel...counted to 10, and rinsed it all off with the garden hose. and....VOILA! Factory-clean wheels. Perfectly clean, with no damage what-so-ever.
I will add that I have factory clear-coated wheels on my truck, with plastic center caps, just like these:
I did rinse them for an extra few minutes, just to make sure that there was no residue left that might cause damage later on.
