I will be working on a friends jeep cherokee soon (march). He bought the cuv and then put these rims on. I was thinking of hitting them with my rim brushes and some meguiars non acid at 4 to 1? Or should I go lighter for an apc ?

I have the montana boars hair and the pro daytona, I will use the pro daytona for going past the front and the boars hair for the face. Does car wash cut through road salt and grime well?

It would be best if you used your car wash shampoo and a soft wash mitt to clean-up those wheels.
A thought just crossed my mind:

Those look either painted or powdercoated. I would personally put a good sealant on them and then just clean with car wash soap and water. If super dirty, I would use a wheel cleaner, but diluted to be very mild. You really won`t need a "wheel brush" per say.

thanks for the info on the metal type, etc. I might be able to use some of my car foam and then lightly scrub?

ok, some rims look great on a car and add design, but they are not everything
