Wheel Cleaning

[Revlimiter]

I dont know if anybody on here has performed any detailing on the newer Audi S4's that have the same wheels as mine here in the pic. The question i have  is  which Adams wheel cleaner should i be using on the wheels to get the best results and not to damage them in the process. Adams Green Wheel Cleaner or Adams Deep wheel Cleaner.

Being that its a German sports car, I would go with the Deep Wheel Cleaner as it will cut through the brake dust a lot faster. After the initial cleaning if you seal with a sealant, then Green Wheel Cleaner or just regular shampoo should be enough.

If all three of those are yours - Deep Wheel Cleaner...in bulk.  Lots and lots of bulk...

Neither of Adams cleaners will damage those wheels.  NEVER let the product dry on the wheels or use on hot wheels, but otherwise, they're safe to use!

Here is a comparison I've done of the two.  GWC will be fine as long as you don't go months between cleanings.

Thanks for the info i usually keep my cars some what spotless pretty much regular car shampoo does the trick like i said before i was just wondering if there was one particular one i should be using.

GREAT question, I just got my S5 last week and have the same wheels.  I know this might not be the best place to ask, but does Adam's still offer the mobile chair that you can use when detailing your wheels.  I looked in accesories and didn't see it.

Don't forget to protect your wheels after cleaning them with DWC............ Adam's Quick Sealant works great on wheels.

I second sealing them up with Quick Sealant. Makes cleaning so much easier in the future. Beautiful cars by the way. Very jealous

I'm assuming deep wheel cleaner will strip any protection you have on there, will green wheel cleaner do the same or is it safe to use over your wax/sealant.

DWC, mos def, GWC, probably.  Try Car Wash Shampoo first, then diluted GWC (60% GWC, 40% water) before moving up to full strength GWC.

Ok I'll try that, thanks.

I would definitely make sure to put a coat of sealant on the wheels after using Deep Wheel Cleaner. See my other thread about using DWC often, for my normal maintenance washes I prob only need to deep clean my wheels 2-3 times a year and I seal them afterwards for tight beading and protection.
