Yes, @DetailersDomain sells it. Wonderful stuff; I especially like their insect remover and full effect wheel cleaner.

Seems to me to be the best so far, the rinsless car wash, nano protector, bug remover, window cleaner etc.

Too expensive though -

JRP is the Canadian distributor for Sonax, so if there's anything you're after they'll have it for sure.

I used Sonax wheel cleaner and like it.
It works really good on heavy brake dust.

In addition they make a great alcantara cleaner if your car needs it.

Wheel cleaner is great, but just as any other wheel cleaner, you still gotta get down and scrub the wheels.

$16 a bottle? I'll just buy some cheaper wheel cleaner...makes no difference in the long run.

I did a full write up here on Sonax wheel cleaner...

I would put sonax wheel cleaner into a category of using sparsely. For stuck on brake dust it works extremely well. If you regularly take care of your car you can use any all purpose cleaner. Full effect is designed to be agitated and used in addition to brushes. If you want something stronger there is Poorboy's Spray and Rinse or Meguiar's Wheel Brightener. I liked spray and rinse but the smell, even diluted, is so pungent I couldn't continue using it. I'd recommend a mask in addition to gloves if you use it.
