which do you guys think is the best? right now i think i have the worst pads ever and it is a constant chore.

 

If the wheels and tires are really dirty I like Eagle One All Wheel and Tire Cleaner it has a nice foaming action that clings to the tires and wheels really well. If the wheels are not to dirty I just use some regular car wash soap. The good thing about the car wash is it won't take off any wax on your wheels if you waxed them where as the Eagle One will. Also Meguiars Wheel Brightener is good when the wheels are very dirty it's just not easily found and you would probably have to order it.

 

when i replaced my rotors i also put pads on and they truly are the worst ever. it takes only 4 or 5 days and the wheels look like they were not even sprayed off let alone washed.

 

I use a 50/50 mix of Simple Green and water.

 

P21S Wheel Gel if wheels get really bad, otherwise just regular car soap. Protect wheels with DP Wheel Glaze, Poorboys Wheel Sealant, or Chemical Guys Jetseal109.

 

That works like a charm!

Dawn and warm water also work real good.

I use to, but now no longer use any wheel cleaning products.

 

I realy like the detailers pride tire and wheel gel. It eats through brakes dust great.

same here. But if you opt out of SG, then I will reccommend the Dupont Teflon Wheel Cleaner. Works well, and leaves the rim super slick, fending off dirt, dist, etc. But I am kinda' afraid of the chemicals inside-- I havent done the MSDS research on it to know how it will affect my rims in the long run...

 

Also-- I know RP will either use normal wash soap and a dedicated mitt, or a 50-50 mix of SG and water, depending on the situation. And I think Gipraw does the same...Many of us do...Safest bets out there.

I have tested a couple of P21S products as of late and was rewarded with a free bottle of the P21S... great stuff!

9 times out of ten, though, I'm simply using a dedicated sponge mitt on the wheels and fender lips.
