Safe cleaning products for BBS rims.

Hey guys,

My BBS wheels have some dirt, grime and oil in them. I want to get them to have a nice shiny look. I've heard some degreasers would work. I couldn't find any information on the Evo X BBS rims. If anyone could recommend a products it would be greatly appreciated.

Griot's Wheel Cleaner I believe is approved by BBS. It says it on the bottle.

Eagle 1 All in One is considered safe for all wheels, although it does not specifically mention being approved for BBS wheels.

Not to thread jack, but has anyone got a source for touch up paint for the BBS wheels, I have some rock chips just through the silver paint I'd like to touch up, but I haven't just tried random silver touch up paint from an Auto Parts store yet, hoping we could find a source for the correct paint from BBS or Mitsu?

I use Sonax on all wheels, from $4k Advans to the stock Enkeis to the cheapo factory rims on my girlfriend's Cruze.

P21 is actually pretty good, just not as good as Sonax IMO. It's a little cheaper though...

It's not a product you dilute if that's what you're meaning.

They say it's safe for painted wheels, so I would assume that goes for painted lugs as well.
