Hopefully your brushed aluminum wheels are clear coated. I couldn't imagine trying to clean them if they weren't. Only recommendation if they are not would be a spray rim cleaner that is aluminum friendly.

Ensure that all cleaning products and care systems are acid-free “in example” MB offers cleaner for light-alloy rims http://www.parkplacestores.com/Merce...=2822&us=37618

Sonax or just a good car soap, Sonax is completely pH balanced and safe for ALL wheels. I use a combination of a Sonax spray, 5 minutes, then clean.

I agree with the advice above. In addition, I try to use the the minimum strength necessary to get the job done without having to use undo scrubbing action that may mar the finish I'm working with.
