Whats the best product/method/tools to use when cleaning your alloys?

If they havent been proteced ect you will need to use a wheel cleaner to clean them up after that use a wheel wax which help clean them up next time which you should be able to do with car shampoo.

Fairy power spray , power wash that off . Maybe use an alloy wheel brush . Polish , seal , wax .

Loads and loads of threads on this subject .

Wash Car Shampoo, Wash Mitt, Sponge and and brushes for the inners. Use something like Meguiars All Purpose Cleaner or AG Engine and Machine cleaner on any stubborn dirt. Use clay on anything that is bonded one

If all the above fails - Autoglym Clean Wheels - it is acid based so wheel dull the finish and mean you will need to polish after.

Dry, Polish with Autoglym Super Resin, Seal with Autoglym Extra Gloss and then use a wheel wax ever so often when I get a chance - Swissvax Autobahn or Poorboys Wheel Sealant depending on budget.

All they should need after that is a wash with soap and water. Redo the AG SRP and EGp one or twice a year, wax them monthly.

make sure you do the backs of them! best bet is take them off to do a really decent job if you dont own a brush.

i use soda crystals mixed with water on my wheels, brings them up beautiful! just got to make sure they are insed well otherwise leaves white runs as the water dries. though that buffs off
