hey all, i have an '03 hugger with the original cast aluminum wheels and i cant find anything to get them clean since they are so porus. does anyone have some suggestions?

 

I wish I knew the name, but you can get just about anywhere and it's a bright green colored cleaner for rims comes in clear spray bottle in auto department..No not simple Green either..LOL

When I used to work at a car wash we used it and it works wonders.

 

Buddy of mine uses oven cleaner.

The spray on kind. It works great. He has rough finish on his rims.

Other than that a good wheel cleaner.

I kept mine protected so they never got stained.

If the dirt and grim is down in to the alum, you may not be able to get it completly clean. I use Maguire's on polished alum car wheels. That seems to work pretty well.

 

Griots Garage, www.griotsgarage.com Seems to be the Place for the guy that needs everything to detail his/her ride. The wheel cleaner they sell works.

Nevr Dull. Will do the job. Its a bit messy on your fingers and takes some elbow grease, but it works. I have those wheels also and it always gets the brake dust and grime off. You can find it at any auto store or even Walmart.

 

Use "Oil Eater", available at Costco and most auto supply's. Mix with water @ 30% Eater and 70% water, stay away from painted sufaces. Spray on, brush, rinse off, repeat. Do not let this stuff set. it is powerful.

 

S100 wheel cleaner works good, but for my solid rear wheel I found that usin Spray Nine and my steamer work the best.
