Many wheels are painted or clear coated, so be careful to use a cleaner designed for painted surfaces. Cleaners for other types of wheels can contain strong chemicals that can etch or bleach painted surfaces.
Of all the hyped wheel cleaning products, I have found Griot’s Garage Wheel Cleaner or Simple Green both work very well. No worry about etching the wheels or ruining the paint as neither product contains any acids or bases. Use the Griot’s Garage Wheel Cleaner straight or the Simple Green mixed 50/50 with water. A favorite wheel cleaner mix of mine is 25% Simple Green, 25% car wash soap, and 50% water. A little agitation with a brush and the garden hose will wash away all that accumulated brake dust and grime.
A coat of wax on the face of painted wheels makes it much easier to remove the brake dust and road grime. A coat of wax on the rear of painted wheels will help protect the surface from brake dust and road salts. Be aware that most wheel cleaners, including Griot’s Garage Wheel Cleaner and the Simple Green/water mixture, will remove most of the wax from the wheels.
