how do clean these black chrome wheels?? I hate mine can't keep em clean. harder to clean than chrome.

 

Without photos, this thread is useless...

 

Are the wheels black chrome or just black painted wheels? Normally a good car soap and water will get rid of the brake dust/road grime. You might want to post in the Car Care section where there are a lot of very knowledgeable members who will give you some advice.

 

I watch WD Detailing and Detailing Geek on YouTube. I use some of the products they use specifically the brushes for cleaning the wheels. My wheels are chrome so I don't have any experience with black chrome.

 

With black wheels, (or black chrome) the second your car leaves the driveway they're going to get dirty. Get yourself a good soap and some soft brushes.

 

This, and also consider getting them ceramic coated to help with ease of future cleaning.

I picked up a set of wheel brushes (1 - for around lug nuts, 1 - smaller size, 1 - larger size). The larger one fits larger openings in the wheel while the smaller one is for those tighter spaces. We had the wheels on my wifes Macan ceramic coated (when we had the exterior done) and cleaning is sooooooo much easier now. They still get dirty and covered in brake dust, but cleaning them is pretty effortless now.

 

The black wheels on my 2019 are ceramic coated and they basically hose off with little scrubbing. I would start there and then see what tools you need to finish the job.

 

imagine a wheel

but dirty.

 

i SAID BLACK CHROME

 

Is it a Z51 or wide body? If so changing the brake pads to less dusty ones would help. I put a coating on mine and they clean up easily with car shampoo.

 

What DrivesWithTwoFeet said, or soap and water often. Ceramic coating only helps clean it quicker, won’t stop the dust itself. Only low-dust pads will help

 

Filing this one away…

 

No need to yell about it, we’re just trying to help.

 

Take it easy on him. His jorts are riding up, the neighbor’s kids were playing on his lawn and he’s got dust on his wheels. Bad day all around

 

This^

 

I use a brush like this one on our cars and it's a real timesaver. The bristle arrangement gets into most of the nooks and crannies.

Try starting with Ceramic pads I have done this with my last 3 and wipe them off twice a month ..

I finally came to the realization with my 2019 that I would have to clean the wheels after every time I drive it, which I do. 10 minutes every day do the trick. Otherwise if I wait and do it ever 10 drives or so, it takes an hour. And I have gray wheels. I can only imagine how hard the dark ones are to keep clean. I tried the brake pads recommended for less dust, but prefer the OEMs braking performance.

 

so you opt to spend more of your life neurotically cleaning your wheels?

I think I've cleaned my wheels once since last october...
