I use soap and water. I never use wheel cleaner as I have always had bad experiences with hazing. I always use polish and then use detail spray after every wash. The paint on my wheels are as good as the paint on the body

I used soap and water, Then i always put a small coat of wax on them to give them a little bit more **** and protection.

i also wanted to know if my wheels are gonna be ok during the winter??? i mean i imagine they are just like the body and as long as i wash them and keep them clean the salt and all that wont hurt them. Plus its powdercoating and we dont usually get a lot of snow.

I use soap and water to clean them. I also use a sealer which seals the wheel. It repels water and makes it easier to clean brake dust. I also use meguiars quick wheel detailer. Its a quick way to keep the wheel looking good.
