    cleaning tires - rims plasti-dipped

    So I've checked out a bunch of threads on how to clean plasti-dipped rims. Have my first detail in with PD. I think I am just going to go the IronX route to clean them and use my carrand body brush with the soft flagged bristles on the outer rim. Doesn't look like the barrels are PD'd, so I will probably use the Daytona on those being careful not to scrub to hard at the lip where the face meets the barrel.

    One quick question before my main question - anyone tried DUB wheel cleaner on PD rims?

    Main question: I usually clean tires with D101 @ 1:1 and a tuf shine tire brush. Inevitably, the APC will get on the rims as I spray down the tires. Will D101 at this dilution harm the PD? I will certainly be careful with the TS brush close to the rim. If the D101 is a bad idea, how do you guys clean tires properly that are on PD rims?

    Thanks!

    Re: cleaning tires - rims plasti-dipped

    I have my rims PD and I used DUB wheel cleaner every week on them. I just spray it on, use a brush and rinse. I don't let it dry.

    Not sure about D101..

    woohoo first post.
