My rims are very difficult to clean because they have 12 spokes and lots of crevices and what have you. They are the Oz Superleggera 18's 1st ed. I spent at least a good hour or 2 for at least 2 wheels, cleaning them and such. I do wash my car once a week, wheels are the first thing I do and once I'm done with them, my hands are fatigued from washing them. Do you guys have any good reccomendations on non-agitation wheel spray? The ones where you can spray, leave it and then rinse it off. I am not looking for this to be a permanent solution. I do plan on agitating every 3-4 mo or so by hand and waxing after with NXT.
 
nxt won't last on it. bad idea. do you have any sealant?



Best solution to clean the wheels - is to get a small pressure washer. Spray apc on, pressure wash. Done in 5 minutes - ALL 4 WHEELS. :D
 
I know its synthetic but I've had good results with it. I do have Klasse AIO, I did use that then claybar, then wax. Unfortunately I don't have a pressure washer and don't intend on buying one. I just use my hose nozzle jet stream. But what is "apc"?
 
I haven't tryed it ,But I seen pepole get great resluts on other detail forums with Meguiar's Wheel Brightener .

For $80 or so you can buy a PW. A bottle of wheels spray is how much? $5? Why wouldn't you buy one?



I also like nxt, but for wheels (tons of heat) I wouldn't use it unless you do it weekly.



All purpuse cleaner
 
(groggy23) do a quick search for reviews on Meguiar's Wheel Brightener I just saw 3 with pictures and some amazing resluts.
 
Poorboy's Spray + Rinse is great, and basically newbie-proof. Meg's Wheel Brightener is great too, but it's a strong acid and can have a bit of a learning curve (dilutions and all).
 
There is NO learning curve to Wheel Brightener. Most all are successful with a 3:1 dilution to clean even the dirtiest wheels. It's the most cost effective wheel cleaner that I've found AND it DOESN'T eat up sprayers for lunch. Used properly, it's effective and costs pennies per use.
 
Thanks guys. I will rethink the NXT on the wheels and pick up some MEguiars Wheel brightner. Hopefully my local target or walmart carries it.
 
Sorry (groggy) you can't buy Wheel Brightener at Target or Walmart try local auto paint supply stores or online.
 
^Heh your right, just found out from my search unfortunately. Luckily I have a detail shop next to me that sells nothing but p21s, klasse, cobra etc...
