OK all I have very very rarely ever use wheel cleaners to clean the wheels. What I normally do is mix a seperate bucket of wash with a rather harsh dose of car wash and wash the wheels with that instead of using "wheel cleaners"



I have always been afraid of wheel cleaners do to this:

Most wheels are clearcoated now and the most all "wheel cleaners" say DON NOT get on vehicle paint. Well the vehicles paint is covered by Clearcoat and so are the wheels so if it isnt safe to use on the painted part of the vehicle that is covered with clearcoat what makes it safe to use on the wheels with clearcoat?



Am I over reacting to this or do others here feel the same way about wheel cleaners?
 
There is a big difference between the plasticized urethane used on wheels and the urethane used on paint.



A proper wheel cleaner, used according to directions, shouldn't be harmful for any adjacent paint surfaces, although it will likely remove any paint protection product on the painted surface.

I do exactly what you do, but it's not because I'm afraid of the wheel cleaner. I just don't see the need for one when soap and water will remove the dirt.
