At $12.00, you can get 12 of them for less than one bottle of Sonax.

Unless Sonax rinses itself off, I think I'll stick with the Dollar store alternative

I usually wont trust a cleaner that just rinses off. Its usually so full of acids that it more harmful than good. May not appear that way after a time or two. But wait till you use it 5 or 6. The first step in buying any car soap or wheel cleaner is to make sure its PH balanced.

But actually of the front of the bottle it says "Spray on, Wipe off" so it should be wiped of not sprayed off.. but you should always agitate the wheel with a soft wheel brush to ensure the cleaner is covering everything and loosen up some of the dirt.. Anyways just things to ponder and suggestions.

No worries man, i'm not trying to make anyone use anything they don't trust. The bottle says "Spray on, Wipe off", true, but see the "R" at the end of it? Yeah, that's because that is their slogan and is trademarked by them, it's not the use instructions
