RVSV2824 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) Just a quick one guys - can you please recommend a decent wheel cleaner? Preferably something which i can use on the Rays but also chrome face/polished lipped wheels also... Cheers Edited May 15, 2014 by RVSV2824 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilogikal1 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Blackfire then Wolf's Decon Once they're clean and shiny, seal them (FK1000P or Hubirims if you like wax-like products or C5 if you like not having to seal them again for 2 years) and then wash with normal shampoo.

ZonixX Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) IronX ..with it's incredible SMELL, I use it on my Rays, works brilliant and is.. nice to look at when applied :D Edited May 15, 2014 by ZonixX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jp606 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) I use Valet Pro Bilberry diluted in a bottle with a Meguiars Foaming gun. Works brilliantly, tried many many wheel cleaners and nothing comes close in terms of amount of product used vs effectiveness vs cost. Every so often I'll use Sonax Full Effect which is a product like Iron X designed specifically for wheels but doesn't smell rank.

Commander Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Another +1 for Bilberry valet pro. Gets ALL the crap off, and it smells nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipar69 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Autoglymn wheel cleaner kit is quite good. Comes with some brushes too. Iron-x is also good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daryl Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Bilberry all day! Used it for several years now, and its a great product. I use Iron X every now and then, but wouldnt use it every time I clean the car, as its expensive. Buy a 5L bottle of Bilberry and be doen with it.

ed divine Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I use either Britemax iron max which is much much better than Ironx in my opinion as it also has cleaning ability, doesn't smell bad at all and has a double agitate so spray on then once you think it's broken down agitate and it will start to attack any remaining dirt and Iron. The other one I use is Sonax full effect wheel cleaner, normal wheel cleaner with built in iron remover. Being honest though if your not looking after the wheels regularly something like bilberry is good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmck13 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Wash with bilberry juice then wax with FK1000P I take the wheels off twice a year to wax them inside. Finish kare specially formulated to with stand high heat temperatures hence ideal for hot brake dust. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVSV2824 Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Absolutely awesome feedback - bit spoiled for choice now Im goin with the Bilberry 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delz0r Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Valet Pro bilberry for the weekly wash and IronX or Valet Pro Dragons Breath for detailing sessions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roscopervis Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I'm a fan of Bilt Hamber products. Bilt Hamber's Auto Wheel is an excellent product also, along the same kind of lines as Dragons Breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 another one for Valet Pro Bilberry. Tried the ironX style products and for me I think they are a bit too aggressive. They smell of peroxide so what does that tell you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
