Default Best Rim Cleaner
What is the best rim cleaner out? Pics of your clean rims and tires would be nice.

If you have specific stains a polish from Eagle,Meguires or Semichrome with a drill used as a buffer should do the trick.

Simple green works very well at removing brake dust in areas that are hard to reach. Just spray it on and rinse off with water.

Simple green, sponged off after about 10 seconds....dont leave it on too long and certainly dont let it dry. Oh...as an aside....try ArmorAll's product to keep brake dust off the wheels....it really does work...a great product.
