Default if his are polished and not anodized, Simple Green and aluminum don't mix.
Although I know Fikse tells you to do that, I'd refrain from it.

you have to get a good billet polish, watermarks are real bad on billet al.

Default HRE recommended that I use ...
"Eagle One Billet Aluminum Polish" for restoring the mirror finish, and the "Eagle One Aluminum Wash and Cleaner" spray for routine cleaning. Both work well, but rinse the wheel thoroughly with water and dry after using the latter.

BTW: Are you using the RS14 as a street pad?

Default It's actually a 50/50 simple green/water mix.
