Hi, i just washed the evo and was wondering what everone else is using to clean yr stock evo x rims! i have been gettting some nasty road grime and not all of it is coming off..any info on what to use to clean it

I have used car soap and water for 25 plus years, if i have tar or some other garbage stuck on there i use goo gone. Regardless of what other products claim none are safer for your wheels (and calipers) than car soap and water.

I use griots wheel cleaner...they claim it's approved by BBS and shouldn't cause any damage to your wheels, but who knows. They always look clean when I get done and that's all that matters to me.

Simple Green sprayed at full strength sprayed on a cool dry rim, letting it soak for 10 minutes or so, then spraying with a hard stream of water will get most of the brake dust off. The rest still requires soap & light wiping.

Simple Green will kill the finish on your wheels and brembos. P21S is good stuff, but hard to get in a pinch. I hear Griotts Garage stuff is being sold in some autoparts stores, but I'm not sure which one, but for a good OTC product Eagle one A2Z wheel cleaner is the best. I've been detailing cars for close to 5 years and its what I use in a pinch.
Just FYI there is a detailing forum on here now as well.
