| | | Amazing... the current stuff I use is a wally world special. I KNOW it's harsh... even says on the bottle no more than 30 seconds on the rim and I still have to scrub them.
Recommendations on what should I put on the rim (polish? or wax?) once it's clean that would make clean up easier in the future? |

But they dont do ####. |

(you can use any sealant in a pinch, I like AIO) Then all you need is water and car soap to clean. Once a month use the Spray/Rinse and reapply the sealant. |

| | | waxes will not last long in such a hot place (wheels can get to 400 degree in radiant heat) so stick with a sealant. |

| | | Killr is right. I use the PB Wheel cleaner and there is no need for scrubbing. It was amazing how clean the wheels becuase. I still have some small black pitting in a couple of spots, but I thnk the only way to get rid of that is to refinish the wheels. Then I tried the DP Wheel glaze and I am equally impressed with it. Now I just use soap and water to clean my wheels as the glaze keeps th wheels from getting a dirty as they did without the glaze.
I highly recommend both products.
