Got some new wheels for the lexus the other week with a polished rim on them, Was wandering what wheel cleaner is best and safe to use on them.

Been using tesco multi purpose cleaner watered down to a weak solution at the minute, But was wandering if there was anything better to use?

Know wonder wheels is a big no no, Shame as I have 5 litres of the stuff here!

Was looking at that, But seen it says not reccomended for polished wheels, Seen it was acid free so weather it was a seller trying to protect his own back i dont know!

Shampoo, wash them regularly. Then metal polish and wheel sealant.

You'll regret buying polished wheels basically

I am already

As soon as I got them i put on 3 coats of poorboys wheel sealant but after this they looked a little hazy, so left them for an hour and they came up alright.

Going to give them another good coat tomorrow and see how they fare up, Hopefully they wont go manky looking quickly

Wolf's de-ironiser gel is great for all wheels and very safe.
