Best wheel cleaner for black wheels
So I am going to wal mart today to get some wheel cleaner. What is the best for black powdercoated wheels?

I wouldn't use wheel cleaner unless your wheels are crazy dirty. I tried wheel cleaner once and it discolored my tires, and didn't really clean that much anyway. Some car wash soap and something to scrub with like a microfiber mitt is much better IMO.

Thats the products I use, and as I have said before, it seems to take as long to clean the 4 wheels as it does the whole rest of the car. I hope someone chimes in with a magic substance that makes it much easier, but in reality, don't think they will!

Pledge in the blue can and a micro towel after soap in water. And it does an awesome job on the plastic headlight lenses.

I used Macguires wash in a bucket of water and a microfiber mitt. Then dried them with a drying towel. Turned out good!

Don't knock it....old Bikers have been using this for years. I've tried expensive products like Plexus on motorcycle windshields, plastic headlight lenses and to me Pledge is a better product. Plexus leaves a film that attracts dust, Pledge doesn't. I use it regularly on the plastic bumper and it removes bugs and cleans better than any other product I've tried. My Tahoe has almost 100k miles and the headlight lenses still look new. No hazing etc. I use it to wipe down the rims on the wife's Camaro that look as good as any $20 product out there and again it doesn't leave a film that attracts dust. I use it on everything on my HD and have never had an issue. Its not Mothers, but in between full on polishing I love it.
