What do you use for cleaning wheels?

Wonder wheels - Hot wheels is good stuff. I spray it on, leave it for a few mins then give it a good brushing with a wheel cleaning brush, then rinse off and the wheels are clean :)

Sonax full effect, expensive but is massively impressive!!! Not every wash though.... And brushes I use woollies they are much easier than any other brush I have used :)

Billberry seems to do a good job, usually have to go over them a couple of times with the brush too to shift all the dust.

Af iron out its great

Not really a dedicated wheel cleaner though lad. Bilberry is alright but there are better out there, although havent tested many.
Assuming your wheels are well protected in the first place a dedicated wheel cleaner shouldn't be required that often, simply wash with your shampoo should suffice

It shouldn't really be used as a wheel cleaner though. It dissolves/removed iron particles (brake dust). Mud isn't made of iron. Iron Out/Iron X aren't as 'lubey' as a proper wheel cleaner/shampoo so you'll just be scraping the dirt off.

Wouldn't recommend that myself! Brilliant product to use after you have cleaned the wheels though.

I also used to use Bilberry, but now my wheels have a proper sealent on them, I just use normal shampoo. Does the job perfectly.

The Hot Wheels stuff bought off Jamie, Before that Bilberry.

No need to use the likes of Iron-X everytime IMO.
 
when buying a wheel cleaner , definitely think about a sealant too.

I use PB wheel sealant, and like the other guys have said, no need to use proper wheel cleaner very often once sealed properly. Just wash with soapy water.

Autofinesse stuff as always good, so I'd try that.
