    Wheel cleaner

    So finally today I got around to cleaning the wheels on the E38 that I bought recently after spending about an hour on each wheel they look good but they're not done any tips and tricks I was using Straight purple Power mostly and it was cleaning it but it was leaving some behind

    Hello - take a look at the link below to some solid wheel cleaners - like the Sonax and Kenotek cleaner. A wheel brush is also very helpful.

    I think they look really good. I just use soap and water and wax on mine.

    I use soap, water, and wax on mine as well and that keeps them pretty clean.

    Sonax and a tooth brush or other small brush to get them really clean.

    I love Sonax, but make sure to get Sonax Full Effect! Its a stronger version of Sonax and only about a dollar more.
