Cleaning rims

Hi, I have works emotion rims (Black), and I cleaned them the other day with armoall wheel cleaner and now they have like a white residue all over the place..

I tried several other cleaners to try and remove it but they have only removed some of it and the majority of it is still on the rim.

Anyone know of any cleaner that would take away that residue and not harm the black coating on the rim itself?

Thanks for any help,
Ben

You can let the P21S gel sit on your wheels for up to 2 hours I think if its really caked on. But when I wash mine I spray the P21S and let it sit for about 15 mins. then ill use my assortment of brushes to get any spots that I missed or the really caked on brake dust.

I've been using Smple Green for years (non automotive formula) for years on both my Volk and SSR wheels and it works really well and has no harmful chemicals to damage the wheel finish. It's worth a shot if the others don't work for you.

I took those glow in the dark stickers off my works wheels and was looking at taking the glue off and electrical cleaner work great. Also takes off any tar thats on the rims plus leaves no residue
