trailblazer ss wheels

[grcurry]

Hello everyone,
Looking for a good wheel cleaner to take away haze look an bring back shine. The wheel is a clear coat polished aluminum factory wheel that comes with the truck from factory. I would appreciate any help someone could give me.

Since they are clear coated, you treat them just like paint. You can clay, use a cleaner wax, wax, etc on them.

I would use a All purpose cleaner or super degreaser..i find they work the best.

My winter rims are my factory rims and by the end of the winter they got built in dirty cause during the winter i only hose them down and don't scrub them and they come out like new when i use a all purpose cleaner and clean them.

As a former Trailblazer SS owner myself, let me just warn you that the factory 20" wheels are fairly infamous for their cheap finish quality. There will still be at least some degree of haze regardless of what you do.

On mine, I always used Meg's Wheel Brightener and this is about the best they ever managed to get:

Those tires look great, do you remember what you used to dress them?

Is the Megs wheel brightner a spay on? also where did you purchase from?

Re: trailblazer ss wheels

Wheel Brightener is a very strong spray on cleaner, that can be agitated with a brush of course, that is in the Detailer Line of products.

It is not for use on bare metals, or fancy brake parts, and needs diluted properly, so need to be carefull how you use it.

I use APC+ diluted 4:1 for wheels. A gallon of the concentrate makes a lot of bottles of cleaner. I just used APC+ on my mother in law's wheels that hadn't been cleaned in years. Worked great!

Try using soap and water.

That may be all you really need.

I would go with All Purpose Cleaner @ 4 :1. Since they are clear coated. Treat them like paint.

If I remember correctly, in that shot I had used Hyper Dressing; can't be sure though as it was a few years ago now.
