My AE wheels have certainly seen better days and I wanted to really get them cleaned up, was curious to what wheel cleaning products or kits anyone on here would suggest. I tried soap and water with a scrubbing sponge, but that did nothing.

Is it just grime or is your clear coat worn and peeling -- then you need to refinish.

For maintenance wash I use diluted P21s

For heavy dirt I go staight to the sonex -- I would use this, agitate with some brushes and a pressure washer

Occasionally use ironX depending if its heavier brake dust

I agitate the small spaces with a horse hair or boars hair detail brush

Wheel woolies for mesh

For the inner barrel I use the long narrow wheel brushes

Scrub the tire with stiff bristle brush

I seal with Chemical Guys wheel guard

I dress the tires with Chemical Guys VRP

I echo Adam's recommendations .. I also use Windex wipes for quick cleaning at shows.

Edit: I also wear gloves (nitrile) when cleaning wheels and/or dressing the tires.

Thank you guys! Just ordered a 2 pack of sonax, will post pictures of the results!

I can vouch for Sonax stuff. Their Polymer Net Shield makes my 28 year old red paint shine good.
