What Wheel Cleaner??

[SpinsB]

I have a custom built wheels the center section is chrome and the outer rim is polished. What wheel cleaner would be best. I already picked up the Hot Rims Chrome Cleaner for the center section

Re: What Wheel Cleaner??

Do NOT use Hot Rims Chrome on the center section because if any of it sprays on the outside part which is polished aluminum, it will ruin that polished aluminum part.

Use Hot Rims Aluminum Wheel Cleaner, It is safe on all metal types.

Re: What Wheel Cleaner??

Agreed... no Chrome Cleaner. You could use a chrome polish in the future, and just keep it on those parts.

Picking some up today. Thanks guys. Any good tips on how to get around rivits on the wheel. Its a three piece wheel and the rivits hold the pieces together. Good looking wheels but a PIA to clean

You may need to try a few different soft brushes. Soft tooth brush, soft paint brush, etc.

I'd use a small paint brush (0.75 - 1.5 inch) with a lot of soapy water around the rivets. Be sure to tape the brush so the metal will not scratch the wheels.

I'd try small brushes as the others have said, but there may still be some dirt left behind. I would suggest using a bunch of Q tips in the small areas if any dirt is left.

My biggest suggestion would be to absolutely stay on top of cleaning those rivets out. If you let them go for a few weeks or a month it can get nasty and virtually impossible to clean out.

Regular cleaning is key!

If the Multi-Piece was on sale for a good price, get a few more.

I have a bunch from Big Lots.

Re: What Wheel Cleaner??

what a good price think i paid a little over 7bucks

Re: What Wheel Cleaner??

$3.50 at Big Lots for a bottle of Multi-Piece.

The Multi-Piece is the same as Aluminum Wheel Wash, just got discontinued due to the name change.

With tax, the Aluminum Wheel Cleaner would be a little over $7, so you at least broke even.

Re: What Wheel Cleaner??

Hello, I have 5 spoke alloy wheels with chrome inserts, like that one below. Could I use Hot Rims® All Wheel Cleaner or should I use Hot Rims® Aluminum Wheel Cleaner?
