I don't use any cleaner for my wheels...they wipe clean with water and last a long time w/o getting dusty because I don't put any crap on them.

Yep I normally only use auto soap and water but if they are really bad I use the Eagle One A to Z that does the tires also. I recently painted mine a comp gray. Very pleased with the outcome. Think I am going to add a couple more coats of clear eventually but I love the look it gave the car.

lol why would you add a couple of coats of clear? If it has clear...it has clear. If it doesn't look right, it needs to be detailed and finished but a professional detailer. 20 coats of clear does no more god for a car than 3 coats of clear if you find the right guy to do the finish work on the paint (aka wetsanding and polishing).

Actually I think we may have only put one or two coats on & I don't want to start wet sanding and not have enough on there. They feel a little rough to the touch so I believe after sanding they will be just right.
