The only time I've needed specific wheel cleaners is when I've bought something and the wheels haven't been washed properly in years. Genuine question - am I missing something by just using the same soap I wash the car with on my well sealed/waxed wheels? They seem to come up nice and clean and I can't see any swirls on them.
Exactly the same here mate. Or perhaps the odd time the wheels have got very dirty etc.
It's funny that I would use the same stuff as most on here for the washing, polishing, waxing, sealing, etc but the only thing I don't use is wheel cleaner. I have a bottle of stuff there I bought a few years ago, the only time I thought I really needed it was when I was cleaning my sisters car which hadn't seen a sponge in about 8 months and when I bought a set of scrappy wheels for the MINI and they were absolutely baked in brake dust.

There's a few different ones like that,all similar thoughI seen stuff on facebook
Sorry in, turns red then powerwash off an wheels come up great
I'm the same. Once they've had a proper clean and wax they almost just need powerhosed to clean. One day of a bit of effort saves so much hassle in the long run but some people don't see that.The only time I've needed specific wheel cleaners is when I've bought something and the wheels haven't been washed properly in years.

These are good for really dirty wheels , but i found that mine are never dirty enough to need it. Also, once you've covered each wheel properly, you aren't long going through a bottle.I seen stuff on facebook

I tried shampoo that I use to wash the car, but caked brake dust an other stuff won't budge
Yeah but it's only brake dust . As long as it's not baked on for 3 months it shouldn't really need a seperate product to remove (what is effectively just) dust.I love dragons breath by valetpro(I think). Stinks like nothing else, but does a brilliant job at shifting brake dust!
I'm pretty sure it's not acidic either, never paid attention to be honest though.
