Default That Eagle One stuff...I used to swear off wheel cleaners

and clean each spoke by hand, but then my local Audi dealer parts dept. person told me that the wheel cleaning stuff in the official Audi car care kit is supplied by Eagle One. There are times however, when I still have to get down there and hand-scrub the spokes.

Default Kaboom

It's a bathroom cleaner, and no I'm not kidding...search the detail forum for my posts from this past spring. I only use it once in the Spring, and take the wheels off the car. Should only be used on painted wheels. Other than that I use P21S wheel cleaner the rest of the year.

Default Car wash soap and elbow grease.

I shudder at anything that claims to be "spray on, spray off"....
