Aluminum Wheel Cleaners?

[brickyardz]

In the past,I have made the mistake of using the wrong wheel cleaner.I have a 2003 Nissan 350Z with the 17" aluminum wheels.I have just been using soap on them to keep them clean.The rear wheels are not too bad with brake dust.The fronts are a major pain in the ass.Can you recommend a wheel cleaner that I can use that will not ruin my rims?Thanks for the info.John

Try, C-41 NON-ACID WHEEL CLEANER


I dilute it w/ water and it still works very well...Spay on lit sit for a minute, hit it w/ a brush & hose off..You can cut it to your liking...

Further to what Silver-Bullet said, I have found that cleaning them is one thing, you just have to be careful not to stain the wheels, don't clean them hot and don't let the cleaner dry on them.
Secondly, if you are talking about bare aluminum, you really need to polish and protect often.

Try P21s wheel cleaner or Eagle one A2Z.

I use Spray and Wipe for brake dust...in fact I just did it on my Tahoe and Professional Polish for cleaning them up a few times a year...
