Angelwax’s relaunched Bilberry Wheel Cleaner could be for you if you need a tough cleaner that can be used on all types of wheels.

There’s a fruity smell when you open it, which is a welcome change from the bad egg whiff of some rivals and makes diluting the cleaner less of a chore. It can be used from two to 10 parts to water, so it goes a long way, but you need your own trigger and bottle.

We diluted it 2:1, and tried it against serial test winner Wonder Wheels and rival Muc-Off Universal Wheel Cleaner. Wonder Wheels was more effective, but it can’t be used on chrome or chipped lacquer.

The Bilberry cleaner proved more than a match for the Muc-Off. It foamed up well when sprayed and brushed, clung to the rim to get rid of hard-to-move brake dust and shifted grime easily. However, you need to work the brush on oily deposits.

Verdict

Rating: ★★★★
What is it?
Fruity smelling wheel cleaner for all types of wheels.
Problems?
Needs dilution, not strong, no brush or gloves.
Why buy?
Suitable for all wheels, a little goes a long way, very effective cleaner.
