    i usually use white wall cleaner or acid mixed with soap to make it not so harsh on the wheels,and use some tire shine i get from a car lot(forgot the name) keeps tires shining for a couple of weeks

    Depends on what wheels I'm running. If its steelies or non polished aluminum I use purple power on both. If I'm cleaning my centerlines that spent a day polishing I use a soft brush and water so I don't take the wax off.

    x2 Soap and water or glass cleaner works the best on chrome. I would not use acid on chrome, if left on too long it will ruin it.

    I use mild dish soap and water and glass cleaner to finish them off, works great.
