I like to use a plain and simple microfiber cloth dipped in water. And then a clean microfiber towel to clean it up. No need to use chemicals. My chrome finish looks just fine

His wheels aren't chrome....^....=oD

If they have a clear coat like most wheels all that's necessary to keep them looking like new is to wash them when they're cold using normal auto wash soap. Use a light cleaner wax like Zymols liquid (green bottle) or anything carnauba, apply with applicators and wipe off with microfiber rags/towels so you won't leave scratches....Gary

I'm all sure they have a clear coat RaginRaj, call/email the manufacture so you know. Using products like I do on my Volks (clearcoat removed) on wheels with clear will really mess em up quickly....Gary
