What To Use For These Wheels? Pics

P21S and a Daytona Wheel Brush .... safe, effective, and some agitation is needed.

I've had amazing results with Sonax. I've used it on my previous German vehicles (brake dust gets awful) and it's worked great!

The Meguiar's Dub Wheel Cleaner is getting good reviews on the Forum and it's available at Wal-Mart

Review: Meguiars DUB color changing wheel cleaner

Yes, I saw this and it works well. Don't know the price of it but if its cheap and at Wallyworld than it will be on the list to buy.

I'll agree with another poster and recommend a full off the car detail for each wheel. You are going to want to get behind the spokes real good and even with a Daytona, you aren't going to accomplish that without taking off the wheels.

Make sure the car has been sitting for a while so the wheels are cool. Spray Sonax Full Effect or Meguairs DUB (I haven't tried this yet but really like the Sonax) on dry wheel and let it sit for at least 3 minutes. I use a paint safe body brush (that NEVER touches my paint) to clean the barrels and wheel face and then the daytona to clean between the spokes and then brush out the lug nut chambers. If that doesn't remove everything, dry the wheel and repeat. The barrels in your pics are pretty pad, so it make take 2-3 applications to break up the contaminants. Once you have them clean, check for any tar and spot clean those with a tar cleaner. Then clay, polish, and seal. Do this twice a year and your wheels will stay in great shape.

I agree with taking the wheels off as wheel. If your going to do it, might as well clean the entire wheel. This will save you time in the long run as well! Just image if your wheel is caking up brake dust on the outer face, imagine the inner side

I would think that the Meguiar's Hot Rims would work. The problem I see is your brush or lack of brushes. While it does splatter everywhere the Daytona speedmaster does work.

I would imagine for those wheels you'd be better off with The Daytona speedmaster jr. I would add a wheel woolie bristle brush and the carrand lug nut brush. can't find the wheel woolie bristle brush

Question for you all - what product is good to use on your alloy wheels after you have fully cleaned them? To prevent brake dust build up, preservation, and protection? Rookie question..

I just use car soap some APC and brushes Memphis.

Like everyone else stated, a wheel brush would be a good idea to have to get the inner barrel. You have a few choices such as the daytona speed brush or wheel woolies etc...

Meguiar's DUB wheel cleaner works good. I have tested it out myself. The good thing is that it is available locally for about $8. Iron X, trix, sonax are also good products. D143 should be able to remove the build up on the inner part.

On my personal wheels I clay and apply a coat of sealant. I sometimes use meguiar's brake dust barrier which lasts longer than a typical sealant. This allows me to just use soap and water as maintenance. D156 is also another option to use to protect your wheels.
