I agree, but the last time I think they were cleaned was 30K miles ago.

I got the same result with my 928 rims that had not been cleaned since 1985.

Learn from there, and now I use on the wheels the same car shampoo that I wash my car with.

To clean my wheels I simply use the same basic P21S carwash that I use to clean the paint.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Gooooood stuff man. This was the result with VERY LITTLE effort. I brushed them a bit, But not enough to even work a sweat.
I got the same result with my 928 rims that had not been cleaned since 1985. However I had to go over them 3 times.
Kyle becareful with some wheel cleaners alot of them on the market are acidic. Does it have a magic ingredient list? Or say it will give you cancer in california? LOL
Not acidic, In fact, although I have not tested it, they say if it gets on the paint, Dont worry just wipe it off. Says it will nto harm the paint. I think the exact words are "no harsh chemicals"
One thing I like about the open style 'Turbo' wheels is I can reach in with my wash mitt I use for the wheels and wash the barrels, the backside of the spokes, the calipers and hats every time I wash the car.
Give it a try.
I agree, but the last time I think they were cleaned was 30K miles ago. They needed a good cleaning. I will keep up on them now.
I am going to spend some more time on them. I want to remove the old sticky stuff from old weights.
People are too quick to say "don't use acidic wheel cleaners", as many of them are just fine. Case in point, Mothers All Wheel, which was an acidic based cleaner. It was also the best wheel cleaner that I have ever used.
The new version (hit the shelves in Feburary) is now a foaming alkaline based cleaner, and I don't think it works quite as well as the old one.
I have used that Dupont Teflon wheel cleaner before and I didn't think it compared at all to the Mothers wheel cleaner.

Kyle,
If you like that product, I would advise you to buy a bunch of it if you found it recently.
I was the product manager for that product and we no longer make it.
Oh, and there are no acids in it. As claimed, it can be used as a bug an tar remover without harming paint.
I haven't found any wheel cleaners that work as advertised, i.e. "Spray it on and rinse off the dirt". I spray it on and rinse it off, but the dirt remains. I've tried several brands and I still have to scrub.
No, it has a nice long shelf life.
However you probably won't find it at lowes. It's been out of Lowes for quite some time.
You might have to do an internet search to find any remaining product.
Still cleaning up from the PO eh?
I keep looking at the factory Sport Classic II's but I don't think I can get my grubby little fingers in to reach the barrels when washing.
Yeah, It appears that the car was REALLY taken care of by the 2nd and longest owner all the way to 95,000 miles. The third guy, I talked to and he told me he did nothing but drive it. The guy before me I think did the same thing. I think he kept it clean, but not "CLEAN".
The paint was a mess, the wheels were not too bad, But not too good either.... The brakes and rotors were shot and the clutch was about done. I say I got a hold of this car just in time before it was about self destruct from neglect.
I dont think it was that they were lazy.. I just don't think they shared the passion
poor boys world spray and rinse wheel cleaner does exactly what it says, ive been using it for years and its awesome, leave it on for a minute then rinse it off
You're just not "rinsing" it off properly. You're supposed to use a 3900 psi pressure washer... that should do the trick, lol. I use the maguiar's wheel cleaner. Makes brake dust much easier to remove with a sponge. Nothing magical though.
Anything out there to prevent the wheels from becoming so dirty to begin with?
It seems my wheels can only stay clean for one day before becoming grimy again.
Nothing beats good old fashioned soapy and water. I've don't use those wheel cleaners in a bottle. Waste of money and not worth the risk of marring the wheel finish. Whether my street cars or track cars, I have NEVER had a problem getting them clean with soap and water. It's easy and it's safe.
+1
To clean my wheels I simply use the same basic P21S carwash that I use to clean the paint. I wipe them lightly with a clean microfiber cloth and they come super clean every time.
I don't see why you would need to use a harsh wheel cleaner on the wheels. I agree with Dell that wheel cleaners are a waste of money and not worth the long-term risk to the wheel finish.
++1 You wouldn't have cleaning problems if you don't let the dirt and brake dust marinate and bake in.
I messed up a set of alloys on my previous BMW with years of wheel cleaner use. Learn from there, and now I use on the wheels the same car shampoo that I wash my car with.
