Re: Cleaning Wheels?

I keep the wheels on most of our vehicles waxed/sealed and clean 'em with strong Griot's Car Wash mix. On some other vehicles I don't bother LSPing them and just use Griot's Wheel Cleaner. Both approaches seem to work OK and the wheels that I keep LSPed sometimes need *really* cleaned anyhow. I will say that the LSPed wheels look nicer while they're still clean.

In any case, I spritz the wheels with FK425 after every wash.

The Griot's Wheel Cleaner (and P21s too) will work OK diluted, even diluted so much that it doesn't immediately strip off strong LSPs. Better use it full-strength if the wheels are really diry though as it's pretty mild. You can use it for years and years without damaging painted wheels, voice of experience.
