What product do you use to clean your aftermarket rims ??

 

a clean rag and some elbow grease

 

Quick detailer, I'd use actual wheel cleaner but my wheels are custom painted.

 

I use Meguiars Wheel Cleaner. Its in a Pink/Purple Color Bottle and cost bout 5 bux. Works Great. Anything Meguiars is great. Go get yourself some, trust me it works.

 

^x2, I use Meguiar's pink soap and cleaner wax on them.

 

Soap and good old water

 

super bright degreaser and pressure washer

 

damp microfiber cloth

I think my wheels are powder coated? it has a matte finish. I have some quick detailer, is it safe to use on matte paint?

 

on my stock wheels i use the same thing i use to wash my car, turtle ice wash and a cloth..

on my aftermarket wheels, i havent put them on yet, but when i do i will do the same.

mine is also a matte black finish, but i wont be using quick detailer, i got black for a reason

 

any of this help with black tar crap? sorry if im thread jacking.

 

Mr Clean Magic Eraser with a water, Makes my chrome wheels shine like mirrors!
Dry with a microfiber cloth. Bling! Bling!

 

If you're using products out of the "car care" aisle, you're throwing your money way. This is what I use, and a $6 bottle lasts about 2 years.



What better to remove dust, grime, and grease?

I think I fixed it. It's All Free & Clear, BTW. I just buy a smaller bottle than that monster jug.

 

what about for a powder coated rim with a polished lip?

 

All. If your rims are any color, made of anything, All. If you can wash your socks in it, you can clean your rims in it. Goes through brake dust like a knife.

 

^^thnx, great info, will def try this

 

i never in a million years woulda thought of that, think it would be safe for the car as well? like on the front bumper, for road tar and stuff?

 

I would never let any Dish detergent, or laundry detergent touch my car's body panels. Although I never heard of all being used to clean rims...cause I tried this one product once F21 something like that smelled like Windex and did nothing. Good ol fashioned scrubbing with a damp microfiber mitt to get in between the spokes on a regular basis keeps my rims shining.

 

^^^ Don't knock it 'til you've tried it. And don't even bother to clay if you don't wash the car with Dawn first.
