What's the best wheel cleaner safe for gloss black wheels?
Just wondering what to use off the shelf. Have new gloss black rims/tires and at the pressure wand wash car wash I find that soap and water don't get the wheels pure clean. So my microfiber towels are still getting black upon drying. I have stuff that works great when I don't wanna wash my Z (stock brake pads) and just detail it but I'm talking about spray wheel cleaners. Thanks for any replies.

I like Super Clean All Wheel Cleaner and Meguires Ultimate Wheel Cleaner. IMO, no spray-on wheel cleaner will eliminate the requirement to use a wheel brush to agitate as part of the removal process. You'd probably fine just adding wheel brush to your current soap and water routine.

All wheel cleaners scare me. Some luke warm water, and griots pink soap. Hit it with the electric pressure washer and I'm good to go. Key is to stay on top of them and not let the dirt sit for a long period of time. I typically rinse and wash them twice a week

So pretty much anything NASA would approve of then. Lol... I found some organic safe all surface wheel cleaner for 8 bucks a bottle. Worked great this morning. Just sprayed on b4 I drove slowly 1 minute to my carwash. Yes you do need a soft foam brush to get into the lug nuts area but this stuff worked great. No harsh chemicals in it. Non acidic is the key.
