Lazy man`s wheel cleaner

[Mid_Life_Crisis]

No, I didn`t find one, I`m looking for one. Some of you may remember that I am the guy who doesn`t believe in taking off the protective layer of dirt on his car. I have to say that even I am disgusted with my rims right now. Not so disgusted that I will actually scrub them, mind you, but if there is something I can spray on and rinse off, I would like to know about it.

WD-40 works great for brake dust. Lemon Pledge is a bit more expensive, but leaves a good shine as well. Great for cleaning all plastic stuff as well (and not bad on interior windshields either).

IMO you can't beat car wash soap, water, and elbow grease. I know it's not ideal for the lazy man, but 10-15 min on each wheel and the brake dust comes off very easily. The only reason it's time consuming is because there are so many damn spokes/surfaces! I stopped using harsher spray on/wash off wheel cleaners after my friend gradually melted the finish off of some wheels years ago.

after you get them clean take some time and put a coat or two of wax on them, it will making them a lot easier next time around.

Do not use WD40 on or near your functioning brakes... trying to kill someone?

C'mon now - you guys use armor all on your tires right? A little common sense can go a long way...

Sheesh. Besides, everyone knows WD40 isn't a lubricant. ;-)

lazy man needs to pay someone who is not so lazy to clean them as well as the entire car to get rid of that protective layer of neglect!

I use a product called P-21s automotive cleaner or something of that nature. works great! its in a white and orange bottle. Little pricey, but it even cleans the calipers well, and its safe for the finish.
