Welcome

Any mods? Where are you located?

edit: As far as cleaner goes, wash them with soap and water frequently. Wax them monthly. They'll stay as good as new.

p.s. I've used PS21 with good results on stubborn wheels too.

waxing wheels

I read your comment about waxing wheels. I've never heard of doing this before...what kind of wax do you use?? How often do you do it? Are you sure this is safe for the wheels' finish?

thanks

Use carnuba wax...I prefer a paste (usually Mothers).

Wax them monthly.....I takes almost no time

Safe on painted wheels? Heck yeah...it's just wax
