Cleaning HRE Wheels
Does anybody have any suggestions as to how often and with what products you use to clean HRE wheels? I have p40s that I just got which have a brushed clear finish. I don't want the brake dust cause the clear coat to get eaten away and result in a hazy finish like I had on a prior car. Thanks.

I use either Griot's or sonax wheels cleaners but honestly any quality car wash is fine. Sonax is nice though as I just spray and wash it away with miminal scrubbing needed.
The finish is strong so don't sweat it

I always suggest throwing down a coat of wax on the wheels when they are completely clean. That will help you with a little brake dust and things wipe away a bit easier as well...

Sonax will stain your wheels if you leave it on too long. P21s wheel cleaner is the best wheel cleaner I've tried and it will not damage your wheels.

Simple Green, over time, will not be good for any finished wheel. It cleans extremely well due to it's acidity, but even diluted, it's going to take it's toll on the finish over time. Use one of the other cleaners mentioned. Griots makes a good regular wheel cleaner as noted, and they have a new heavy duty cleaner that's good for those times when the brake dust gets away from you.
