Anybody know extra good wheel cleaners. The stuff at the local auto store doesn't cut it

 

Hey Tmounk, Meguiar's Hotrims is fine, just with all rims cleaners rinse straight away or Mothers do a good one too.

 

The OEM wheels are painted just like the car. I recommend:

a. Rinse
b. Spray bottle with 50/50 solution of car wash/water. Spray liberally and let sit for 5 minutes
c. Agitate with a mitt. For the inside of the wheels use a special purpose long brush. Each spoke has 3 square indentations. I use a tooth brush.
d. Rinse
e. Dry with leaf blower
f. Wax when you wax the car.

 

I'd pretty much agree with that. Reason I use a little bit of rim cleaner is predominately to remove the awful OEM (joy) brake dust, car wash doesn't quite cut it for that.

Also I use a very soft sponge for cleaning the back of the spokes, once again with water and car wash. Keeps rims cleaner longer.

Hehe, that's what I get for answering when I really didn't have time.

 

Eagleone all wheel cleaner is safe on factory coated wheels, and is going to be significantly stronger than the p21s wheel cleaner. Its safe to use occasionally to get the ground in contaminants and leftover brake dust. Just make sure you follow the directions and that the wheels are cool to the touch. Best if remove them as well so you can clean behind them

 

meguiars wheel brightener is the best

 

...and it comes with numerous health warnings. I would go with the P21S wheel cleaner. Works great. If you can though, blast them with a pressure washer and use normal car wash soap.

 

warm water and soap...clean then up real good and throw some wax on em.
