I realize this might be a bit mindless, but who uses what to easily clean off accululated brake dust?
I have a 2021 RTL with the black spoke wheels .. and well, they are a mess.
I started to clean them, but figured there has to be an easier way...
So I know there are spray-on cleaners.. what do you use?
Is there a product you apply after to keep the wheels cleaner?

Not big questions ... but I was wondering..

Thanks

I've had good results with plain old fashioned Turtle Wax car wash liquid and a soft brush. If they get real cruddy on tour I use the TW spray wheel cleaner. Some folks favor Merliin's Blood sold by Tire Grafixx, a SL sponsor, but I've never tried it.

Are use a California duster mini. I have one for the wheels and one for the body. They work great between washes.

YES!! On the Merlins Blood. http://www.merlinsblood.com/ From SL sponsor Tire Grafixx
MRS.T.P. picked it up at one of the last Spyderfests. We use it on our chrome car wheels also.

Any cleaner you happen to like and a one inch paint brush to work it into the tight spots.
