I'd be scared of a wheel cleaner from an auto parts store, especially your Nismos. I just wouldn't know what would be safe.

 

Walmart/ Target + any major auto parts supplier would carry the products I've recommended above.

 

if i were u i would do a soap and water wash and spend some time getting in the corners and everything to see if u even need to get a crazy wheel cleaner cuz u juat got ur whees right

 

But braking performance and feel goes to crap. I'm not willing to trade that especially with how great the 03/04 brakes feel. Been there, done that.

 

I used a high power nozzle for my hose and car wash solution and everything worked just fine. Going to pick up some wheel wax/protector to reduce the brake dust caking.

 

I use my regular maguires car soap and water in a squeeez bottle and a wash mit i use only for the wheels.


Try to avoid washing them when hot, also dont buy the autostore crap ,

yes those products work to an extent but they might have a negative efect on your finish.

dont let a carwash place spray anything on your wheels , some places have acid based solution that eat up the paint.

soap and water works well . make sure you dry after

 

re : Rodrigo - "I use my regular maguires car soap and water in a squeeze bottle and a wash mitt i use only for the wheels. "

I do exactly the same thing - and especially a wash mitt just for the wheels.

For baked on brake dust - for those people who don't wash their wheels (ahhhh!) - WD-40 sprayed on a cloth, then put on the wheels and let it sit for a few minutes. It will literally disolve the black gunk. Then wash as normal.

 

I spray some Easy-Off, After im done with all 4wheels count till 20 and hose them down, then just wash them with soapy sponge.

Alot of ppl will talk shyt about it, But to get that burnt in brake dust off, Nothng works like it.

Try it on ur own will.

 

Um we used to use Easy Off oven cleaner when we wanted to vandalize someone's paint. Got some pics that you use this on your own wheels?

 

Easy Off ? OMG -

Readers: Consider this solution only if dead certain that you are working with stainless steel. Oven cleaner is a caustic material that will almost instantly dissolve and permanently ruin aluminum :-(

 

I know sounds stupid but been using it.
Used it on my 19 rays. g37 19s. 370z 19s.
my friends 535i rims. if u dont leave it on for long enough i guess. it doesnt do anything but just dissolve the cooked dust.
