Satin black 343 wheels won't clean

[fstm5]

This is the one part of cleaning my car that I hate is the wheels, no matter what I used I cannot get them fully cleaned they're always somehow dirty, I've used mainly chemical guys which I'm sure that's where my problem is but is there any other recommendations I can get for satin wheels, I also use a decently soft brush to aggitate the dirt, I don't really want to use a super stiff and hard brush I feel like I'll damage the wheel a decent amount.


Any recommendations on what brand I should use?

I have had good results with Sonax wheel cleaner. The brake dust and grime on black wheels don't bother me that much though and I don't spend a lot of time cleaning them thoroughly so your expectations may be higher than mine.

It won't really clean the barrel much, but a coat of Sonax and scrubbing with microfiber towels seems to do pretty well.

Agree with sonax but meguiars ultimate wheel cleaner is less expensive and does the same thing.

I absolutely despise scrubbing wheels; I spray on, let sit for a few minutes, remove with pressure washer (<1800 psi), spray with foam cannon with remainder of car, rinse off when done, and BAM. You wouldn't know that I didn't scrub the wheels.

Definitely going to try both and see my results cause chemical guys is complete trash
