My father and I ******* STOOD on the breaker bar and the bitch wouldn't budge. a total of 400 lbs couldn't get them to budge. So after that ****, I sprayed them with liquid wrench and decided to clean my wheels.

Best wheel cleaner I ever used.


My god so clean. (Black residue on the bottom is from an old wheel weight. I got it off right after the picture)

By the way, your user name puzzles me.

There are actually several products on the market that have a color changing effect as they react with dirty wheels and turn a pretty deep red that can resemble blood as well.

I believe this is Sonax, but Adam's Deep Wheel Cleaner does it also.
