Wheel Cleaners and Waxes

[rodtek]

I'm not sure what kind of wheel/brake dust cleaner and wax to use on my truck .

I have a Night Runner which has the stock charcoal lookin' rims on it and want to make sure I use the right wheel cleaner to clean the rims and brake calipers..there's too many to choose from.

Also, can somebody recommend a good wax to use on the Night Runner paint job:dontknow: ?

Thanks

I use some wax called fuuken wax. I know its a funny name....but...it is the best wax i ever used. Its in an aerosol can and 1 can does about 3 trucks.
EASIEST wax ever to use. Just spray on and wipe off. Has carnuba in it too.
I use it on my paint, rubber, glass chrome wheels and all. It cost about 15.00 a can and it comes with a micro fiber rag.

do you know if the wheels are clear-coated? if they are...use a cleaner specifically for those. a stronger acid based cleaner can eat up the clear coat.

I have it in my truck....but I think it's spelled FUKKEN wax. Do a google search. If you want to pay for shipping and for a can to try, I can send you one with a rag. $15 bucks and shipping.
It's now the only wax I use, and I use it on the WHOLE truck with NO white marks or residue on the black rubber and plastic parts and NO streaks on the glass. I know it sounds unbelievable but it does work. I dont sell or endorse anything. I am just shareing my excelent find.

For Night Runner wheels (or any other painted wheel), use this:

I have Night Runner wheels and it works perfect. Don't use this on a polished surface though,,, it will stain the surface.

Soap and water on the wheels, for me.... The chemicals will eat the paint right off your calipers.
