Sonax is the best stuff out there for wheels. Easy to use and does a great job cutting through the brake dust.

Very good product I have to say. But one bottle can only be used less than six times. It is expensive. I just go to autozone buy a brush and wash them with water plus some wheel cleaning product.

I have to agree with the first 2 posters, not only it would clean the wheels it also takes off accumulating dust on the calipers

Sonax the best? Not really...

To protect your wheels use C.Quartz Dlux, to clean them use a normal shampoo to remove the dust that didn't attach to the wheel after that use Carpro Iron.X to make the wheel 100%

I use Wheel Woolies and a set of premium microfibers to clean it with.

Edit, just browsed through the forum for new posts and noticed this one:
