When you have Klasse on your wheels, then what do you use to clean the brake dust off? I figure most wheel cleaners are harsh enough to strip Klasse, even the non-acid ones as usually are usually alkaline

When I first start cleaning cars I use to sit there with a soft towel and bucket of soap... It didn't take me long to realize a wheel cleaner and a soft sponge cleans many times faster. I now use PRO's C-42 Non-Acid Wheelie Clean. It comes concentrated 10:1 and it really does work like a RTU wheel cleaner when mixed correctly. I have found sometimes concentrated stuff when mixed according to the directions is too weak. Not this stuff. So, I have 5 gallons concentrated, which is 55 diluted. I won't be buying wheel cleaner for awhile.
