Default Attention Work GS4 Owners, what are you using to clean your wheels?

As the title states, just wondering what GS4 owned are using to clean their wheels. Love them, but they are a pain in the a** to keep clean, especially where the face of the wheel meets the barrel (there is a small gap there thats hard to clean). Any insight would be great. Thanks in advance.

Bump for an answer.

I'm looking into Sonax wheel cleaner with a boar brush and maybe a daytona wheel brush.

I actually did a detail clean yesterday. Used regular car wash soap and water. Applied it with a microfiber cloth. Used a old credit card wrapped in microfiber to get the small areas, but a brush would probably work much better. I think it turned out well. The cleaning method was discussed in another thread and everyone strongly advised against wheel cleaner. Now I'm wondering if I can wax these.

The Sonax stuff says its safe for wheels with clear coat and anodized wheels. A lot of guys use it in the detailing section. The brushes are boar hair and super soft. I saw the thread also about cleaning with soap only. Don't know now. Haha

I'm still waiting for my GS4s.

You'll love them man. If the Z didn't get enough complements, the wheels really get people's attention.
