Hi guys,
What is the best tools to clean and polish mag wheels without removing them from the car.I've bought Meguiar's DynaCone but I think you don't save time with this tool.Almost three hours to remove brake dust,grime etc.Is the Daytona brush working well?
Many thanks.

The Daytona Wheel brush is great, I would go with that and mothers all wheel and tire cleaner. Great combo

If the wheels are bare aluminum (and it sounds like they are since you mentioned using a dynacone on them), do NOT use our Foaming Wheel & Tire Cleaner. It's made for coated wheels.

I'd suggest you use our Polished Aluminum wheel cleaner, part # 06024 instead.

What polish were you using with the dynacone? it should only take ~5-10 minutes per rim to polish them with a drill and tool like that.

What type of rims are they? Have any pix?

Hi,
I have used the "all metal polish included in the kit. My wheels are OEM Hyundai mag wheels.

Got it. Your rims are coated aluminum and our Foaming Wheel & Tire Cleaner is fine.

For a coated rim, you may want to consider using a plastic polish or a paint protection type of product instead of that metal polish.
