Wheel cleaner for black TRD wheels?

[wmflyfisher]

What is your preferred wheel cleaner for black TRD wheels? It’s hard to see brake dust on them as is and I always seem to leave some in the cracks and crevices once it dries. Drives me nuts. What do you use or what’s your method?

Today I just use the same Turtle Ice spray on the wheels that I wax my TRDOR with. In the past I used Gumout silicone spray (aerosol pressure was lower than most, which I preferred). The solvent in the spray got the brake dust off, and the silicone made future cleanings much easier.

I hate my trd pro wheels. I have learned to just deal with them dirty, they are truly impossible to keep clean.

+ 1 on Dr Beasley's stuff. They sell both cleaner and sealer.

If you take the time to get them properly clean, and then use the sealer, they come clean much easier on subsequent washes.

I just use soap and water. Then I spray and wipe in the Chemical Guys Matte Detailer on them and they look ridiculously awesome.

Same here. Worst wheels I've ever had to clean.
