Stock clear coated or polished alum or chrome??

I like the Green wheel cleaner at wally world for brake dust on my chrome wheels, Un coated alum that has heavy soil i use ZEPALUME Mixed with water, its strong Shit!

But the green spray type foam works pretty good on all or anytype of citrus cleaner isnt bad.

I use turtle wax chrome cleaner/polish and rust remover. I haven't tried anything else yet and my wheels are 4 years old and look good still. I just put my 325's back on so now my truck dosen't look :gay:

Don't use any harsh wheel cleaners on the PYO's or the clear coat will fog and flake off.

For the stockers just use a good soap, everything should come right off.

Thanks guys the wheels i got are aftermarket 16 in rims. They look amazing when they are clean. I know because i remember them when he first got the truck and they where on. But heck you should see the rims on his duramax. You talking about dirty:D
