We Say
Proper wheel cleaning is as much about reaching the awkward areas as choosing the cleaner in the bottle.
A freshly washed car can still look unfinished if brake dust remains behind the spokes or around the wheel bolts. Those awkward sections are exactly why a dedicated wheel-cleaning routine is worth the effort.
BETTER Wheels is a concentrated, non-acidic alkaline wheel cleaner intended for compatible wheel finishes. The dilution can be adjusted for the level of soiling, from a stronger 1:3 mix through to 1:15 for lighter maintenance, so you don't have to use the same strength for every job.
We'd pair it with sensible brushes and a separate wheel mitt, working on cool wheels and rinsing thoroughly. Non-acidic doesn't mean universally suitable: highly alkaline cleaners still demand care, especially on unprotected, polished or otherwise sensitive finishes. Check the wheel manufacturer guidance, test first and avoid letting the cleaner dry.
