Rim cleaner

Wondering what’s your go to rim cleaner?

Last product i used was amazing but almost needed a hazmat suit for protection and had to be paranoid about painted surface.

I use to use soap and a bottle brush with the handle cut off. I insert it in my drill and spin it on the rims. Now my rims are ceramic coated and they wash off easily with just a jet of water.

Feel weird linking another site but Chris at Carzilla is a great dude to deal with and I buy lots of detailing supplies from him personally.

I buy it in the larger bulk container and dilute it 1:4 in an IK foam sprayer.

Will not damage sensitive rims works great. I track my car a lot and this makes post-event cleanup super easy.

Sonax Wheel Cleaner is what I use. It works incredibly well.

I’ve had good luck with P&S Brake Buster for regular cleaning. It’s much safer than the harsh acid-based stuff and you don’t have to worry as much about overspray on painted surfaces. I usually dilute it and use a soft wheel brush, and it handles normal brake dust really well. If the wheels are heavily soiled, Sonax works great too and has more bite, but it’s pricier. Once I ceramic coated my wheels, cleaning became much easier and now most of the time soap and water does the job. For me, the key is cleaning often so brake dust doesn’t bake on. The really aggressive cleaners work, but I’d rather avoid risking damage over time.
