Looking for a wheel cleaner for a painted aluminum wheel !!!

**Webb** · 03-26-2012, 05:03 PM

Right now I'm using a cheapo wheel cleaner purchased at AutoZone months ago but it says "Safe for all wheels",but now I bought a new car with aluminum wheels coated/painted and I was looking for a nicest tire/wheel combo just to be on the safer side.
I don't have the money for 2 different cleaners wheel/tires I would need a combo cleaner.Any suggestion is welcome.

PS: Can't do Wolfgang either too expensive...BTW why are they so expensive ?

This is the wheel.

Meguiar's Hot Rims All Wheel & Tire Cleaner seems to work well and it's available locally...

Instead of buying one of each couldn't you just buy one of the the more expensive cleaners?

Wolfgang is 20.00
Mothers is 7.00
Meguiars is 7.00

Wolfgang does the job 3 times better ?

Both Meguiar's and Mothers offer some very good over the counter products that won't empty your wallet....

Mothers has a nice tire treatment that works well too......

Chemical Guys Diablo Wheel Gel is very good at cleaning wheels/tires. Dilute 6:1 and still have great cling and cleaning ability. If you want something a little cheaper, try their Citrus Wheel Gel. It's not AS GOOD as the Diablo, but it still works very very well.
