I wonder how well that magical brush will fit between the barrel and larger rotors of the ceramic brakes? Might be worth a try... Thanks!

 

What time does your wife
get home:

 

what are the groups thoughts on diluted Dawn or dishwasher soap on black GTS wheels

 

Black GTS are a Matte finish and will easily stain so coating them early on is a good thing. I think using Dawn I'm a test spot is a good thought, just proceed with caution. It's PH balanced but it will strip wax finishes off so it's much more aggressive than normal car wash soap...

 

I have used Invisible Glass window cleaner on wheels with good success between washes.

 

i ask because i have used it but still have that brownish hue to them and i have tried a bunch of different soaps. sonax, nanolex, dawn, car soap, detailer. etc.

 

Too strong. It strips the wax off.

 

what wax do i have on the wheel?

 

How would I know. You should have a sealant on your wheels. That's what makes cleaning them so easy with warm soapy car wash soap & water. My Sport Techno wheels are coated with Optimum Gloss Coat.

If you don't want to go high tech nano coating like OGC, use RejeX Wax. Very good. Easy to find. Cost effective.

 

ok will check it out. and you just use soapy car wash? that's interesting, maybe the warm water gets it done. will check out the opti gloss coat thanks. is that something you apply once and update yearly?

 

I never use any wheel cleaners. Just warm soapy water. I do the OGC once per year, prior to winter hibernation. I pull the wheels off the car.

During the driving season, after washes, I also use the Armor All Outlast wheel protectant spray.

 

your wheels are not matte right? so this opti coat is prob not an option for the GTS wheels

 

Right. They are gloss clear coated from the factory.

 

yeah thats the issue w the matte i guess. and i have used the armor all but i dont think it works beyond maybe a few more trips

 

OCG is fine - it's a coating and will give you protection.

I use a Kranzle 1122T Pressure Washer, P21S Wheel Gel Cleaner, wheel woolies and the Microfiber Madness brush referenced above using a separate bucket with car wash soap. Then I rinse off the wheels and use Adams Detail Shine for a final wipe down clean up. Wheels are perfect for the first 100 feet before I need to brake and then they need to be cleaned again...
