What does everyone use?
Used to use wonder wheels once a month (as its an acid) and then went on to Fairy Liquid
Any others?

A good tip is to wax your rims well every month or so as it makes brake dust removal MUCH easier as it forms a barrier between the paint on the wheels and the dust and you'll find just car shampoo and a sponge will remove it easily.

yeah any of that wheel cleaner in a bottle stuff works wonders, also ya might want tar remover as ya tend to get tar on ya wheels and dont forget wheels can be waxed like bodywork, use auto gly super resin polish for this

I just use car shampoo and a sponge and scrub very hard! I no all the wheel cleaners say they dont damage the wheels but Ive also been told that it wears away the protective coating eventually! dont no how true that is?!
