tried many, tried lots.. many years of various chemicals in a bottle
lots didn't work, some ate the wheels/paint/brakes (a VERY bad one starts with Bow...)
and
now? finally? something that cleans wheels.. my wheels, the wheels on the other half's M BMW coupe
(if anything cleans a MB or BMW front wheel without scrubbing its good)
and
its BILT HAMBER Wheel clean

Spray on.. leave for maybe 5 mins and I hose off/Karcher off

just don't do it when you have been driving, COOL wheels only


ps their clay bar and paint cleaning system is pretty good too

Yeah, maybe I should start washing the inside each weekly wash best I can. Then get BT up on the hoist to finish them off. I can actually wash the inside a fait bit with just a noodle mitt during the regular wash. I just don't normally bother. Terrible I know....
Its one of the few moment im glad i dont have Brembos. I can still get the mitt past the disc to clean most of the rim.

My front Brembos prevent the mitt getting past the calliper but the rest of the rim (Pentagons) is fine to access.
