Need advice please on good non corrosive alloy wheel cleaner - just bought a car with polished alloys & want to keep them looking good, also a recommendation on a decent brush to clean wheels 10J wide at the back

EZ Daytona wheel brush & either Autosmart Smart Wheels or Valet Pro Bilberry for the wheel cleaner smile

Hi chaps - I wouldn't recommend Bilberry for bare polished rims...

I have always been happy with Autoglym Custom Wheelcleaner. It's effective and non-corrosive, as far as I'm aware.

Don't know if it safe for use on polished wheels or not but Wolfs Decon Gel comes highly recommended from me.

Why not just use a good brush and water. Since I had the wheels reconditioned on the 330 a year ago they still look great with no marks. I have not used wheel cleaner at all.

Brush wise I use the Wheel Woolies from Polished Bliss I just use normal car shampoo with them as my wheels are waxed, so don't get too dirty.

Bilt Hamber came top in the recent Auto Express test. Works very well & seems pretty economical.

As others have said if you use a decent sealant or wax, you will be able to clean them with normal car shampoo
