Why don't we ALL use this to clean our wheels?!?!?!
 
I'm sorry to all the vendors, I'm sure you guys all make great products...

But buy one of these (foaming head):

You can even throw out the contents...
(You don't NEED the foamer, a lot of people just like it and it gives you a bit more time to work it)

Then use:

I bought a gallon for $8~ at Home Depot and diluted it 1:20 and it works better than anything I've ever used...

Because that stuff is very harsh on some finished wheels! Ive seen wheels fade, cloud and yellow due to stuff like this.

Simple green harsh on wheels?!?!?! Really???

Unfinished aluminum maybe, only in high concentration for more than 10 min


Just have to rinse well!

Im with DE on this one. Ive been using SG on my painted sport wheels that aren't even clear coated for about a year now with no problems.

Doesn't seem to harsh to me

I've used simple green before on my wheels and tires when they covered in chit before. No big deal. Usually just use leftover car soap and sponge though.

XiP 03-20-2013 09:54 PM

i use water and old tshirts :ugh2:

122554 03-20-2013 10:08 PM

Because I want my wheels to last!

great way to watch your anodized Volks tarnish

use Sonax instead.
