Took delivery of new AMG GLE53 1 months ago. 550 miles on the clock now. Wheels dirty with brake dust and needing attention. I was intending to order some CARPRO IronX based on positive feedback here. But in the meanwhile I thought I'd try a bottle of Maguiar's Ultimate Wheel cleaner just to get a jump on the cleanup. I am IMPRESSED!
Cleaner working prior to quick scrub.
4-minute soak followed by quick brush, rinse and towel dry.
Afterwards...
Very pleased. Given the Maguiar's is less than $10/bottle and readily available locally at Wal-Mart and such, I don't really see the need to order the IronX. Am I missing something?

Most normal locally purchased (read inexpensive) products work fine for most everyday detailing needs.
All about technique - you let it dwell on wheels for good amount of time which then requires less elbow grease to clean em up.
Only thing I would say is try not to ever let a product dry on your car parts be it wheels, tires paint leather unless directions say to.
It looks like you have CCB’s. Is there any precaution you need to take with spraying something so caustic on them? A couple times probably won’t hurt, but repeated use may.
I have CCB’s on my F430 and am very careful what I use on them.

I must be blind but those don't look like CCBs to me.

It’s difficult to tell from the picture. The “cleaned” picture kinda looks like a CCB rotor, but it may just be the discoloration of the rotor from the cleaner?
