Rim cleaning

how is the best way to clean you rims? I still have to factory pads and i have to clean them so often. it doesn't bother me really, but i just want something that will get the job done. How else can i clean the inside of the rim or to waht place can i bring them to for a "total" cleaning. I'm guessing that that would include taking off the wheel. detailed too! Places in SD!

Yes, you'll need to take them off to do a through job. I use a product called Liquitech Metal Protector, which forms an invisible resin on the surface of the wheel. It works beautifully at resisting brake dust stains and makes it far easier to wash off the next time around. I highly recommend it, along with the Metal Polish product (which you use first, to get rid of the stains if any). Unlike wax, the metal protector won't burn off due to the heat generated by the brakes.

You can get both here:
