Wheel cleaning products work well, but after time, they can do damage to the wheels. Especially clear coated wheels. Whatever you do, don't use a wheel brush. These are tough on the wheel finishes, and put scratches in as well. I use a seperate bucket of soap and water and mit to wash the wheels. I wax them just like the car. This repells brake dust and helps protect the wheels. I use something called Wheel Wax. It works well, but I am not sure if I will reorder when I am done. I will probably just zaino them like the rest of the car.

Studley Mobile,

Nope, no probs with the 409 that I can tell.....I'm certainly not an expert though. Seems to work OK for me though,,,and a lot less expensive.

i've only used my g for pleasure driving. it seems every two or three outings (i only have 180 miles) i wipe wheels. now i use two wheel wipes of some sort and two paper towels. i will try the 409 or even glass plus.

anyone hear of damage from glass plus?

I'm not sure I would put anything on my wheels with ammonia in it. It would probably eat thru the finish. I believe 409 and glass plus both have ammonia in it.

 

I can't find it now, but I'm pretty sure there was a TSB about using the right cleaner for the right wheels. Using the wrong one can damage the finish. Use alloy for alloy, chrome for chrome, etc.

this is supposed to be a luxury car. it should come with air vents that blow the dust away.

It's a performance luxury car, with "performance" coming before "luxury." The air vents weigh too much. [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]
