What's the best non acid alloy wheel cleaner
Discussion
Bilt Hamber auto-wheel is non acid and non alcaline and very very good.

I had heard of this one, and looking at the video it does the job. I was wondering what the Pro valeters use

Bilberry it is then
Bilberry should still be used with caution. It might be acid-free, but it's far from ph neutral. Unless they've changed it recently it has a ph value of 13+ undiluted and strong alkalines are just as capable of damaging certain finishes as strong acids.Rinse the wheels thoroughly afterwards.
An acid cleaner won't hurt as a one-off if your wheels are caked in crud. A clay bar will help for stubborn dirt.
Once you have them clean something like "Virosol" can be used on a regular basis
A janitorial product it's non-acidic and works perfectly, and safely, on wheels.
Available from http://www.cloverchemicals.com or your local cleaner supplier.
Iron-X is also useful for those ingrained brake pad particles.
I use a hard wax on the wheels and that allows easy cleaning when done regularly.

What a useless reply to a good question.
I started using Bilberry earlier this year and found it worked very well.
Not really. I'm prone to the occasional bout of OCD with clay bars etc, but find that scrubbing gets very good results on alloys and steel wheels, without any worry about damage. Horses for courses.I started using Bilberry earlier this year and found it worked very well.
