Recommend a Wheel Cleaner?
xjay1337:
Iron X is fine to clean alloys with. Infact it's one of the safest things out there.
But it's not a wheel cleaner per se.

I use ValetPro Bilberry Wheel Cleaner. Works great, spary on wash off. Smells so nice to. Pleasure to use

All the above are very good suggestions ^^ (apart from wonder wheels maybe, a bit too strong/harsh...although good for the first deep clean and is safe enough if used correctly)
I use Autosmart Smart Wheels non acidic wheel cleaner. This can be diluted 10:1 and is very effective and very safe on all alloys. You can easily find 0.5Ltr -5Ltr bottles on eBay.
The fallout remover I would recommend is Valet Pro Dragons Breath, it stinks like the name suggests, but is thicker than Iron X, so works longer on the wheel, I find. It is so good, you almost don't need to use AS Smart wheels first! Then AS Tardis to follow.
Once fully clean, clay, polish and seal with a decent wheel Teflon sealant/glass coating. (Poorboys, Gtechnic C5, Wolfs Chemicals Rim Guard....there are many to choose from) Then maintain after.
Then drive it! :driver: :laugh:

Smart wheels is high alkaline so be careful on polished / anodized wheels.
Used to use it all the time and it's good day to day.

I used to use wonder wheels because I only cleaned the wheels once a year Its very good at what it does but not to be used if you have any signs of kerbing or flaking paint etc It gets to the metal and buggers it up. I now clean the wheels one a month using the vw own labelled stuff (who makes this?) which is very good on my CHs Applying a couple of coats of wax make it easier to remove crap next time Never used a brush just soft cloths and ALWAYS wear gloves WW will make your hands white which cant be good
