f/u on the 22ple. Just washed after our first winter storm.... dirtiest my wheels have ever been. Washed off far easier than before. minimal effort involved. tried just soap and water but that did not work (and probably would be asking too much), had to use the brush. very satisfied with this product. Hoping for some real longevity.

Unless they are heavily soiled, start with Simple Green or an Orange degreaser. Then try Sonax or P21S. My nuclear option is Meguiars Wheel Brite.

I used Sonax full effect but the wheels were so dirty that I had to use another wheel cleaner to get them clean (Eagle one all wheel & tire) otherwise my hands were freezing from the cold water

Yes but remember to let it sit for 3-5 minutes till it turns purple.

Opti Coat 2.0 / Opti-Coat Pro
Best investemt possible and because break dust does not stick it can just be hosed off with out much back work.

NO he would just pressure wash them.
