What product would you use to detail these rims off a Honda Accord? I`m clueless as to what product to use that would harm the finish.

Four Star Ultimate Wheel Cleaner Gel - On sale for 10 bucks at autogeek.net
DP Gel Wheel Cleaner
P21S Wheel Cleaner - Very Popular in autopia
Wolfgang Tire & Wheel Cleaner
Pinnacle Gel Wheel Cleaner
From what i know all of these products are non-acidic detergents so they are safe for all wheel types i know for sure the P21S works very well.
Also look into a wheel brush like:
EZ Detail Brush
Meguiars Gold Class Ultra-Safe Wheel Brush
I`m going to pick up the meguairs tomorrow, for 8 bucks you cant beat it.
Hope this helped.
All you need is a decent all purpose cleaner for both the wheels and the tires. I use a degreaser i get from a local supplier, i cut it like 5 to 1, works good.
And if you want to, clay them down and throw some wax on. That will help with future cleaning.
I use DP Wheel Gel Cleaner, DP Wheel Glaze, and an Edge Wheel ShMITT.
Definitely wax or seal them. After that you can just get a wet MF and wipe them down in betwen washes to get them shiny again.
IIRC, Honda clearcoats all their rims so they`re pretty resistant to most of the chemicals out there.
You can get away with pretty much any wheel cleaner out there, but you`ll be much happier if you polish and wax them along with your paint, then they`ll clean up with soap and an old wash mitt.
Once you buff black, you never go back
They do clearcoat them but in my experience they`re pretty weak and suck badly. I would try to use friendlier chemicals first before pulling out the really harsh ones. Usually I wash my 99 Accord (different wheel, same polished finish) with just car wash soap and water, but it`s not really strong enough to get stubborn brake dust off. I tried using Westley`s white wall cleaner on it and the clearcoat is all messed up now :goodjob Young and stupid...well at least now I know betterOriginally Posted by themightytimmah

I use Meguiar`s Hot Rims if the brake dust is really bad, but most of the time just soap and water. Just wax them every so often after using a wheel cleaner.
Yes the Gen7 has cleared wheels, but IIRC the lug nuts are not clear coated so you should give them a polish once and a while.
