When I'm done washing the truck, I use a cloth-covered sponge with the leftover car wash mix to scrub the tires and rims. They're left spotless. As long as you don't use that same sponge and water on the rest of your truck, you're golden.

Industrial Strength
Brake dust specific - all finishes
Standard strength - all finishes
I use the chrome/wire wheel cleaner - even on clearcoated or polished.
IMPORTANT:
No brushing or wiping is necessary.

IMPORTANT:
- Wheels and brakes must be cool & dripping wet before spraying.
- Spray each wheel within 10 seconds.
- DO NOT leave solution on for more than 30 seconds.
- Rinse thoroughly with a steady stream of water.
- Do ONE wheel at a time only.

The FX series does a good job of cleaning the brake dust off the wheels safely. The Chrome/Wire Wheel cleaner just cleans everything fast but might be a little risky on expensive wheels if you leave them on for more than a minute.
