Wheel cleaners

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 18-Sep-02 AT 06:25 PM (EST)]I have a 2002 F-150 and wife has a 2002 Escape, both with cast aluminum wheels. Both vehicles have shown substantial brake dust on the wheels. I've looked at at least 8 different brands of wheel cleaners on the market and I'm still confused as to what is safe for these wheels yet does a decent job of cleaning the brake dust off the wheels. Some have warnings about dulling the finish of the wheels, some have acids in them, many claim they are recommended by the manufacturers yet have warnings about damage!

Anyone have good luck with a particular brand of wheel cleaner? I've looked at Armor-All, Castrol, Turtle Wax, Eagle-1, Muguire's, etc. Thanks.

Wheel cleaners

I use Castrol wheel cleaner on all of my cars. I found that Target carries it for 1/2 the price that Kragen/Checker/Pep Boys sells it.

Have Fun,
