Whats a good non acidic wheel cleaner

[AnniversaryWul]

Looking for a good non acidic wheel cleaner that will clean and keep the brake dust off my anni wheels. Any recommendations. Has to be a semi-decent price lol.

To get them clean, use anything from P21's to tar remover.  Once clean, seal them with something like poorboys wheel sealant.  From then on, all you'll need is a wet sponge to clean them.

Ok, what sort of quantity of it are you after? Also why does it have to be non acidic, these types are a lot less harmful than the alkali ones, I'm told!

Bilberry wheel cleaners a decent product, smells nice and a lot less agressive than many others I've used. You can get it in 1 Litre, or 5 Litre bottles, and its very reasonable.

I also have Megs Hot Rims, but water it down 2:1 at least and it still does a great job. IMO stay away from the AG wheel cleaner, its harsh, white bottle orange label, (but they do a non acidic version now but I'm yet to try it).

Plus, if you have the time, take your wheels off, give them a good clean, seal them with something like Pooboys Wheel Sealant, Zaino CS etc, and all you'll need is a good shampoo. The dirt will wash off easily.

Was just told to try and use a non acidic wheel cleaner as they can damage your wheels after a while. Would a good coat of wax seal the wheels?

yep acidic wheel cleaner will over a period of time will wreck your rims, autosmart do g101 which is very good for cleaning wheels and is highly dilutable and still does the job,

as said earlier in this thread poorboys wheel sealent is good,i my opinion any "good" sealent will do the job and yes a layer of wax will add another layer of protection and will stop brake dust penetrating the surface and make it easier to clean off!

i use chemical guys m-seal and collinite 845 insulator wax on mine!!! they A:look well shiney and B: are extremely easy to keep clean

Actual wheel sealant is not that expensive to buy, and lasts ages..
