Ok, I have a the S rims and was wondering what you all use to clean up the grime and dust on your rims? This winter made them look pretty nasty and now I need to scrub them up.

I am sure someone has an easy solution where I don't have to use any elbow grease right

TIA

Mothers powerball? Or even mini powerball. Attach it to a drill and walla.

Thats pretty sweet and no elbow grease.

Now any suggestions for a cleaning solution?

i use Eagle One A-Z Wheel & Tire cleaner. wet the tire, spray it on, hose it off. i do it when i am washing the car and i dont have to dry the tires or wheels. even works to get bugs off the windshield or the front end.

what about tires themselves? I find my tires REALLY hard to clean.. they get a buildup of oil from that shiny sprays i use to make them look killer.

rims: some soft bristle brush w/ bucket of warm water with some dishwashing soap

tires: same as above but for the extra shine i tried

but instead of leaving the foam, i leave it on for a few minutes and then wipe it down with a towel that way no leaking marks are seen.. then could also use that same towel to wipe down the rims.. will give it some shine 2

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser works great

Have any of you ever had the tire shine stuff eat away the finish from the sidewalls of your tires? I used some non-foam stuff last spring and it deteriorated the smooth sidewall of my tire between the rims and side treads.. I'll never use that stuff again!!
