Jimbo’s Pure Magic Cleaner Review – Wheel & Tire Results

Wheels and tires are often the dirtiest part of a vehicle, covered in brake dust, grime, and road film. Pure Magic Cleaner was designed as a powerful but safe solution to cut through that buildup fast. In this review, we’ll cover application, cleaning strength, safety, and real-world results on a variety of wheel finishes and tires.

What Is Pure Magic Cleaner?

Pure Magic Cleaner is an acid-based wheel and tire cleaner engineered to dissolve iron particles, brake dust, and road film while restoring rubber to a natural finish. Unlike generic all-purpose cleaners, it’s tailored for heavy-duty cleaning without damaging clear-coated wheels or uncoated rubber when used correctly.

How to Use Pure Magic Cleaner

Application is simple and effective:

1. Rinse the wheel and tire with water.
2. Spray Pure Magic Cleaner generously across the wheel face, barrel, and tire sidewall.
3. Let dwell for 1–2 minutes—watch as brake dust begins to bleed purple.
4. Agitate with a wheel brush and tire brush.
5. Rinse thoroughly with a strong stream of water.

For maintenance washes, dilute Pure Magic 1:1 with water to stretch product while still delivering results.

Real World Testing

We tested Pure Magic Cleaner on several vehicles:

• BMW M3 (performance sedan): Caked-on brake dust dissolved within 60 seconds, little agitation required.
• Ford F-150 (work truck): Tires restored from brown to a deep black matte, wheels came out spotless.
• Classic Corvette (garage queen): Safe on clear-coated aluminum, no etching or damage observed.

Compared to multi-purpose cleaners, Pure Magic required less scrubbing and produced noticeably cleaner results in less time.

Pure Magic vs Other Wheel Cleaners

Why Pure Magic Stands Out

• Fast-Acting Formula: Cuts through brake dust in under 2 minutes.
• Iron Reaction: Dissolves embedded metallic particles safely.
• Tire Renewal: Removes browning and prepares tires for dressing.
• Safe for Most Wheels: Compatible with clear-coated, factory painted, and powder-coated wheels.

Customer Reviews

“I’ve tried everything from APCs to high-dollar wheel cleaners. Pure Magic melted brake dust in seconds.” – Derek, CA

“My work truck tires were brown and faded. One application of Pure Magic brought them back to deep black.” – Laura, TX

“Safe on my Corvette wheels but strong enough to clean without scrubbing forever. Impressed.” – Sam, FL

Maintenance Tips

• Always rinse thoroughly to neutralize cleaner after use.
• For delicate finishes (raw aluminum, anodized), test a small area first.
• Follow up with All Dressed Up for a protected, OEM finish on tires.

Final Verdict

Pure Magic Cleaner lives up to its name. It’s one of the few wheel and tire cleaners that delivers both power and safety in a single bottle. If you’re tired of endless scrubbing or weak cleaners, Pure Magic is the professional-grade solution that saves time and produces unmatched results.
