Default What to use for black wheels

Well guys I upgraded my wheels to black sp1's a few weeks ago and now it needs a wash. With the OEM, I used the meguiar purple bottle (forgot the name) and it was the best. I literally did not have to scrub, just spray on and the grime comes off. Wanted to stick with Meguiars, but can't seem to find one that is ok for my wheels. Any suggestions?

they are clear coated, just like your oems were...

treat them pretty much just like your paint-
wash them with a high quality non acidic cleaner.
p21s makes a great wheel cleaner.

use a wheel brush- and be sure to wax or synthetic them after they are clean and dry. this will help minimize dust and dirt collection on the wheels.

if you really want to do them right, take em off of the car!

post up some pics of your wheels dirty, and then while you are cleaning them...
and then pm me for your badge!!
