Wheel Cleaning Process and Products - Whats the best...

[Kermit]

As title.  I've used AutoGlym for years - "Clean Wheels" then the "Alloy Wheel Seal" stuff.  My original Monza's had white worm and tese were replaced under warranty (6 months ago) - I've noticed on my wheels in some places the lacquer has gone and the worm might be coming back.  I appreciate road damage may have happened (they have not be kerbed) but I can't help thinking the Clean Wheels stuff may be accelerating this process.  So, I;m looking for the best wheel cleaner - I know about poor boys sealant so getting some of that but something PH neutral thats good at shifting the crap

Cheers

bilberry - its the only way

spray on, power wash off, if you have PB wheel sealant on then this will work fine

i have tried everything from wonder wheels (horrid stuff) to muc-off (good stuff and enviro friendly) but bilberry works a treat and is enviro friendly and smells nice too!

Autosmart Smart Wheels is good. Acid free but may be difficult to get hold of.

Everyone thanks for the responses.  I use muc-off on my mountain bike, never thought about using it on my car I don't have a power wash but assuming the bilberry will come off with a wash mitt ok so will give that a go - the AutoGlym Clean Wheels stinks so sounds like this is a good alternative

I used to use Meg's Hot Rims but it's supposed to be bad news because of its acidity.

Now I use Bilberry which is awesome and smells lush too!

I used to use Meguiars Hot Rimz to clean the wheel, but found it finished way too quickly. So now I just clean them with the normal Autoglym wash, but now have a Turtlewax alloy wheel polish and wax kit, which makes cleaning them A LOT easier now

[drapergti]

I have seen good results with Poorboys Wheel Sealant.
