    Aluminum Wheel Cleaners?

    In the past,I have made the mistake of using the wrong wheel cleaner.I have a 2003 Nissan 350Z with the 17" aluminum wheels.I have just been using soap on them to keep them clean.The rear wheels are not too bad with brake dust.The fronts are a major pain in the ass.Can you recommend a wheel cleaner that I can use that will not ruin my rims?Thanks for the info.John

    Try, C-41 NON-ACID WHEEL CLEANER


    I dilute it w/ water and it still works very well...Spay on lit sit for a minute, hit it w/ a brush & hose off..You can cut it to your liking...

    Further to what Silver-Bullet said, I have found that cleaning them is one thing, you just have to be careful not to stain the wheels, don`t clean them hot and don`t let the cleaner dry on them.
    Secondly, if you are talking about bare aluminum, you really need to polish and protect often.
