Recommendations of Wheel Cleaner

Hello All,

I was wondering if you could help me in deciding which wheel cleaner to get. I am using DP Gel Wheel Cleaner and it seems to do an OK job, but it does not remove harder containments. I have some brown dirt sports on my rims that I can not get off, not even with a sponge and some tar too.

Car:
2006 Acura RSX

Thanks guys!

Re: Recommendations of Wheel Cleaner

if they are factory coated rims, then a wheel acid maybe what you need.

Try meguiar's wheel brightener (4:1).

Re: Recommendations of Wheel Cleaner

as long as you have factory wheels you can you Megs Wheel Brightener cut 4:1 once in a while to clean up everything that other cleaners leave behind. But try to keep your wheels clean. Clean them at least once a month (inside the wheel). P21S gel wheel cleaner is awesome stuff. Cheaper alternative would be DP gel wheel cleaner.

Re: Recommendations of Wheel Cleaner

Thanks again. I wash my cars once a week and I use DP Gel once a week and still not getting the results I want... I will try the P21S cleaner and Megs to see what happens....
