Did you get the blue bow joke?
Soo who's theI thought that at first and was going to give it a funny, but then I thought maybe it really was a blue bottle since I don't use it and didn't want to look like my usual dork self.
jax wax has similar product as sonax.. it will disclor rotors a bit but no biggie will go away next ride.. but i too had a hard time cleaning my brass monkeys initially, then used the jax wax, flourcent green then purple and wow. then i rinsed with water and wiped barrels calipers backsides etc.. lot of work.. im goin to geon prep the wheels special degreaser for final prep. then apply geon wheel glass coating for wheels. withstands high heat and makes them less prone to nips and scratches.. the soap and water isnt tough enough, plus you dont want to wipe the wheels hard and that method requires that.. car is low man need to get on stands.
I tried the Sonax wheel cleaner and it was good but just seemed a lot of extra faffing about. I just use a bucket of car soap, a kitchen sponge about half an inch thick and roughly 8" x 6". This allows me to get behind the wheel spokes and get around most of the caliper. I wear some thin rubber gloves though as I kept bruising and grazing my hands from being a little bit to determined to get to those awkward parts. Jet wash before and after. Then dry them off with a master blaster. I tend to do the wheels say on Saturday and wash the car Sunday.
I use AMMO. They have a wheel cleaning kit that works amazing. If u use the Plum. You can literally see the brake dust falling off the wheels
Sonax plus has been my go to. The original was good but plus does work better. Wheel woolie brushes make short work of the rest even though I prob could just hose them off.
I would use soap and water, but after using one of the above mentioned cleaners. Those cleaners are meant to pull the iron deposits left from using your brakes and I think everyone uses their brakes. Then you can rinse that and use the soap and water. I like to use Chemical Guys Citrus wash, various soft brushes and some wheel woolies. Keeping the inner barrels clean is a must.
Then its best to apply some form of protection, wheel wax at minimum, but a dedicated Nano-Ceramic wheel coating will change your mind about protecting wheels if you have it applied to yours.

For my regular maintenance washes I'll often spray P21 Total Auto Wash or S100 Total Cycle Cleaner on the dry wheel. I do all four and then hit them with the pressure washer. It gets them 95 to 98% clean. Good precleaner or quick maintenance clean during the week.
I recently tried Adams New Wheel Cleaner (Blue). It works like Sonnax and it's another good product.

Send me a PM, and when I get back from this business trip I will scan it and send it to you. Just picked my HC a week ago, and I still have that sleeve in an envelope.
Any chance you can post a pic for the rest of us?
THANK YOU!!!
