Anyone have a favorite for safely cleaning painted/alloy wheels? thanks

all i ever use is simple green with a soft toilet brush, works great and gets the insides well.

cool, but does SG worked on painted wheels as well? The outer spokes are silver, the inner wells are painted black. Just want to make sure I don't use something, then poof, off comes the paint.

I would have no hesitations for putting simple green on those rims. I've used a lot harder chemicals on rims, and even bodies of cars, without any reservations.

been using SG for years, I even spray it on the road/grime build up around the wheel wells/paint before washing my car, makes it so much easier to wash the grime off.

just used it yesterday on the wheels I bought off you.

excellent.......... thank yous for the 411..............

Maybe try to use something a lil softer than a toilet brush.

Soap & water.

you'd be amazed at what a bar of Ivory soap and a soft brush will do. - BC

You really shouldn't need more than car wash if you are washing them on a regular basis. Especially if you keep them waxed.

the brush I use is really soft, like cotton soft. not easy to find in basic stores, I buy them from a janitor supply store.

Now that looks like a nice tool to have.

That looks soft enough for me to wipe my butt with it. Gotta find one of those.

I am also a supporter of Simple Green. That stuff works everywhere.

Well, it's only suggested for external use...

was at auto zone the other day and was recommended this product seeing that I was told that Wesley's Bleche White was not to be used near my wheels because of the chemicals they utilize.

tried it this evening, looks like it's cleans really good and leaves somewhat of a nice shine.
