Are the stock aluminum alloy wheels on an 07 Touring clear coated? They feel like it but I don't want to get the wrong cleaner and fug up my wheels.

 

Only use soap and water unless a wheel cleaner is absolutely necesary. The finish on those wheels is very easy to damage, and only a few wheel cleaners would be safe. Eagle 1 all wheel and tire cleaner and meguiars multipiece wheel cleaners are safe to use and can be found locally, or p21 wheel cleaner gel can be had online and works well

 

I wash my stock rims once im done washing the rest of the car. Just using the regular car soap and rinsing immediately. I dry em too just to be safe from waterspots.

 

Thanks redlude and delako.

 

Soap and water should take care of it. I have a 50-50 mix of car wash-water in a spray bottle.

a. Rinse with hose.
b. Spray liberally
c. Let it sit
d. Wash as usual.
e. Rinse
f. Dry with blower.

 

Thanks David. That sounds like a good idea.
