Product for cleaning Rims?
Hi,
Is there any good product that I can use to clean my rims ?
Currently I use Sonax Xtreme full effect,

But I know that it's not good to use every wash, so I prefer good and strong product that I can use every wash .
Regards.

Re: Product for cleaning Rims?
I would think that what you are currently using would be one of the best options and would not be harmful to use regularly.
Is there something that you are reading that says other wise?
About the only thing I can think of that is safer is just using a dedicated wash mitt and your normal car wash solution. A lot of other wheel cleaners are fairly acidic or basic. The Sonax should be relatively pH neutral.
Is the Sonax not working for you?
How are your rims finished, clear coated, chrome, polished raw aluminum, stealies?

Sonax may be a little expensive but I dont think its bad for the wheels to use every time. Maybe go with an OTC product like Meguiar's All wheel cleaner (or the one specific to your wheel type) or the Eagle One A2Z wheel cleaner.
Also if your wheels arent very dirty each time just mist them with one or 2 sprays to conserve product.

Why not try Meg's dub wheel cleaner. It works well and is similar to sonax.

If you coat/seal your wheels, all you will need to clean is soap and water.

Currently I don't have coat/seal on my wheels.

I use Griots Garage "wheel cleaner" with a Daytona speed masters brush.
Works fantastic especially since my rims have a combo of matte and chrome finishes.

...and its available OTC, so you can go out and get it ASAP! Its the best wheel cleaner I've ever used from a perf and price standpoint
I bought a ton of it when it was on sale a couple monthes ago, I have a gallon and half total. Even at its regular price at the store its half of what Sonux is, it just can't be beat!!

A side benefit is if you use a tire coating (like Tuff Shine or Turtle Wax), a soap and water cleaning is gentle and won't strip it off the coating.
