Aluminum Wheel Cleaner

[67fisher]

What do you guys use to clean your wheels with. Most tire & wheel cleaners on the shelf in Auto Parts Stores caution using it on motorcycle wheels. I'm loosing ground with plain soap and water.

I don't have any aluminum to clean so I don't have anything. I bought H-D Anarchary chrome wheels for the summer and switch over to my OEM wheels for riding in the winter. I don't care how those look because of all the salt.

Back in the day I use to use Mothers Mag and Aluminum polish.

I will never have uncoated aluminum again.....ever!!

I have used Happich Semi Chrome for longer then I care to think about. I also prefer Bon Ami to Bar Keepers Friend because it has no abrasives in it. Same general area in the store.

Hot rims Aluminium wheel cleaner.

There are 3 types, so pick the right one.
the blue bottle is for powder coated wheels and aluminium wheels. This stuff works fast and easy to use.
I spray the wheel then rub with a microfiber clothe to cut the thick stuff off, it no build up spray and rinse.
This stuff works really well.

Want them to look new, after cleaning and dry use pig spit. They will like new.

According to the site the Z 40 is for chrome as where pro-50 eliminator is a cleaner, In most cases you can not use a cleaner that is designed for chrome should not be used on powered coated parts. Even with raw aluminium can be damaged. It may take time for the damage to show but it will in time.
A LONG TIME COMING, BUT HERE IT IS – a safe, non abrasive, non corrosive descaler that loves to dissolve calcium, carbon, water spots, and removes oxidation with no damage to applied surface.
