Best Wheel Cleaning product ever!!

The wheels on my CLK look really bad. I have cleaned them with every product out there. Pic 1 shows after cleaning, Pic 2 is after using the pad.

Those are nice but be very careful with those. They are made of melamine foam which is actually a very fine abrasive so it acts like a fine sand paper. It will dull and wear down your clear coat. Now I've used them once on a friend's wheels that were too stained for every sorta of wheel cleaner from Sonax to Meguiar's wheel brightener. After claying and compounding with no results, I tried these and it worked but did leave sanding like marks that I had to polish out. So just my warning to be careful with these.

Just use what I use on my AMG rims all the time. Autoglym Custom wheel cleaner. Spray on, and use a wash mitt to wash through and that's it
