Wheel Cleaner

I know this question has been asked before several times, but what is the best wheel cleaner to use on the L's wheels? Also, what procedure do you use when cleaning them? I have a hot date tonight, and want my truck to look its best.

I found when I had stock 18 inch wheels the best would be,
when the rims are cool not hot from just driving the truck use any
car wash liquid mixed with water then rinse with water and towel dry. I would polish or wax the rims with what ever I use to polish or wax my truck with to have some shine and protection for the rims and it would just make cleaning the rims much easier the next time I would wash my truck and rims. So simple. I did not want to use wheel cleaners because I thought it might damage the finish.

I have used EagleOne A2Z all wheel cleaner. It works great!! I spray it on and run over the entire wheel with an old toothbrush. Takes about 2 or 3 minutes per wheel, then rinse it. I have not had any problems with any damage to the finish.

Hot vomit is not what came to mind, but I'm sure now that you said that I'll picture it next time I use it, HAHAHAHAHAHA . It smells funny but it works!
