Depends on your finish. I use some soapy water only since I have Work VS-XX. I believe my lips are anodized, so any chemical will leave discoloration and possibly stain the finish.

They're correct....^....soap and water is the best way to clean your wheels. What you don't want to use is any house hold products....ever!

We only recommend soap and water to keep the finish looking good. We have also tried wheel wax on our wheels and have seen some good results, but other than that I can't recommend anything else.

I take my wheels off, wash them with a nice detailing shampoo, dry them, clay them, wash them, seal, then wax them. :0

Inside and out. lol

Second the p21s cleaner. Also Adams green wheel clear. Both are 100% acid free, so you can use on a number of wheels safely.

Soap and water is a good maintenance cleaner for relatively clean wheels or protected wheels (ie sealed wheels). When a more thorough cleaning is needed I'd suggest the SONAX Wheel Cleaner Full Effect or the P21S Gel Wheel Cleaner. Both cleaners are pH neutral so they should be safe on virtually all wheel finishes. If I had to pick one I'd go with the Sonax Wheel Cleaner. You can see it in action here http://www.detailedimage.com/Ask-a-P...r-full-effect/, it's an outstanding cleaner!

We offer 10% off with the code 10offg35 if interested. Let me know if you have any other questions and I'll be happy to help.
