wheel cleaners???

Ega; 1 makes a sweet alloy wheel cleaner. I use it and it works nice. Or I use Boyd's paste wheel cleaner but that's a *****, only use for shows and stuff.

I second the Eagle 1 advice, however if they're really that dirty you may need to do them a few times and use somehting like a toothbrush to break up all the crap on them.

ok, thanks for the advice. These are white wheels so they look nasty with this crap on it. So i guess i need something that will cut through this grease/brake fluid because its kinda like caked on there. But I will go try these products out. Any more recomendations? or advice?? thanks again!

I'll third the Eagle 1. I use there A to Z wheel cleaner and a wheel brush. It has gotten everything off every time w/o much effort. Good stuff.

a body shop recommended castrol super clean or something...castrol something...forget..its purple liquid.

soap, water, and elbow grease.

hell yea..post #1. This board kicks ass. to your question, i use McGuires wheel cleaner, then use a VERY stiff paintbrush to rub off anything that is adhering to the wheels. that works very well for me

I use a chemical that is meant for cleaning patios and driveways...it's potent stuff but doesn't seem to harm my wheels. As the wheels are off the car, I suggest you take them to a car cleaners and ask if you can use their steam cleaner. This, combined with a strong detergent, will get them sparkling again.

Patio cleaner aka. muriatic acid/hydrochloric acid. Some wheel cleaners have this stuff in there.

thanks again for the advice. I actually tried some castrol super clean today and that stuff works great! But there are still some stuff that wont come out. So i guess i'll try the eagle one stuff.
