Looking for some input on everyones favorite wheel cleaners. I have stock salad shooters. I've used alot of different cleaners. I like the hot rims and Eagle 1 AtoZ.

I DO NOT like Meguiars in the pink bottle. Doesn't clean well at allll, and left some nasty white residue after I scrubbed and sprayed.

What do you all like?

you might want to speak to KevinSS, because those Eagle 1 wheel cleaners and the like not only eat away at the finish on your rims, but eat away at the skin on your body. pretty mean acidic stuff I guess...

I personally use 409 automotive cleaner, just like simple green automotive cleaner, spray on, rub with brush/car wash fluid, then hose down good. I never really let brake dust build up on my wheels, so it's never hard to clean my rims. (wash my car about 1-4 times a week, depending on how much it's driven)

 

All those quickie wheel cleaners contain some sort of acids, mostly HF acid, I never used them (I have billet wheels on all my vehicles) I only wash with car wash and water once a week or two, never needed a acid cleaner, keeping a coat of car wax or polish on the wheels makes a HUGE difference when it comes to clean up time.

I read a story in one of my detailing magazines I get about a man who worked in plant that made all sorts of car cleaning products, this man worked making the wheel cleaner and brake dust remover spray machine, a valve broke on a machine and he was sprayed with HF acid that was being added to the mix, he died.

Wow!

KevinSS - I do worry about the finish, but so far I haven't found anything else that could get the stains off the wheels. When I bought the car a year ago the wheels had been neglected, and it took a while to get the stains out.

I have used a wax coat on the wheels in the past, but with Winter coming up that is not as easy as to maintain (daily driven through the Wwinter ).

THanks for the input guys!
