Tips on wheel cleaner

[jumpmanmb87]

I have fairly new cragar ss wheels on my 74 nova and i wax them every other wash with nxt. But what is the best way to clean them when washing?? i just use a separate bucket with some car wash in it with a sponge.

There are lots of good wheel cleaners out there but I prefer to wash the wheels on my truck just as you do. Car wash soap, in my case Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner and water, works well for me.

You have a good wheel washing method, I'd say. For an added benefit, though, you can use an all-wheel safe wheel cleaner like Hot Rims wheel cleaner. Just spray/foam it on, work it in with a dedicated brush, then spray it off. It can help cut through years of baked on break dust.

wheels is kind of general
wheels like liquid black said hot rims
tires Megs EXTRA -no longer in production

Here's another vote for just keeping them well protected and using carwash shampoo. The only time I use a wheel cleaner is during the annual major wheel cleanup when I change from summer wheels/tires to winter ones.

I like soft boar's hair brushes too, especially for around lug nuts and valve stems.
