Default Best way to clean RUFF Wheels

Iv read a couple posts here and there about ruff wheels. Some say just soap and water? Some say to use some type of cleaner wax on them. Anyone have these wheels and can tell me the best way to clean them?

Why are RUFF wheels different from other wheels?

Car wash soap (NOT DISH SOAP). Most wheels don't need a special "wheel detergent" or anything similar. They can be waxed after you clean them - just like paint.

No but really, scotts300 is right. Wash them with car wash, then wax them if you want the results to last longer and better protect the wheel.

you can be RUFF with them. if you call them names (*****, trash, dirtburglar) they will usually get the hint and freshen up.

if that doesn't work, take them off the car and sell them.

under no circumstances should you give in to the demands of bitchy rims; it is not your job to be at the beck and call of these rims. if they want to be clean they should do it themselves. if they refuse then they aren't worth your time.

prissy *** bitches.

I’ve read different things like these wheels don’t come with a clear coat? What type of wax is recommended on wheels?

I assume they are metal alloy with no finish. Use a non-abrasive metal polish. Test a small area first.

We laugh at the cheap wheels. There are good alternatives to Volks... $100 wheels are not one.

Nice, but what you caught (OMG!) is just me rushing an edit (couldn't choose which word worked better, but I think I meant to keep 'understand'), not what I would call a legitimate grammatical mistake but if it makes you feel better about yourself - go right ahead.

I don't even want to get into your posts in this thread that have actual grammatical errors, so I would shut it; You have no basis to criticize my writing Not to mention attacking the writing and not the substance of the post (which was on-point) is sad

Again motor lets read your quote. Yes I did buy them but I'm pretty sure I wrote an hour ago I couldn’t find them for a $100. So that would make it a question? So your statement again makes no sense.
