i brought this wheel cleaner when i had stock 17 rims. I just ordered 18s avant garde m310s. They're powder coated. I am wondering if i can use this Black Magic No Scrub wheel cleaner (i had before the purchase). It says works on all types of wheels including anodized finish but nothing about powder coating. You think its safe on powder coated wheels? Also do you think a wheel brush is safe as well?

Thanks!

 

I use Chemical Guys Premium Blue wheel & rim cleaner. It comes concentrated so I diluted it with 1 part cleaner to 10 parts water roughly. I use it with their raccoon brush and it works damn well and will last a long time because I didn't realize before I received it that it was a concentrate. They also have a cleaner called Diablo wheel gel thats been pretty popular on their instagram.

Check out Chemical Guys

 

I would stay way from that wheel cleaner. It doesn't seem to have a very good reputation.

For powder coat, you should be fine with most wheel cleaners. To be safe, stay way from those that are strongly acidic or basic. Acids have a nasty tendency to protonate some polymers and degrade the carbon chain. I've been using Sonax's wheel cleaner and had good results. Plus it's pH neutralized, so you should be a bit safer.

Also, you WILL have to scrub. Get a small wheel brush. It takes an extra 3 minutes per wheel, but it leaves it significantly cleaner than just spraying and rinsing.

 

Try Sonax it works wonders

 

I use AMMO wheel regiment and have no problems. Once you get them fully clean you should use a sealant and wax them to make future cleaning easier.
