Best way to clean wheels *VOLKS

Hey detail gurus...

I'll have my wheels/tires off for few days and I might as well do a thorough cleaning.

Whats the best and safest products and ways to use and clean on my Volk GT30's. These are the Phantom editions with the flat black lip/barrel.

Thanks!

The P21S gel is amazing for cleaning the barrels and spokes, it is super safe for the finish and really strips all the crap off

I have good things about the TUF SHINE product line. I speak for the wheel cleaner since I have been using it for a few weeks. Very good cleaning agent.

This is how I clean my volks.
1.)Adams ph balanced car wash,
2.)Microfiber wash mitt.
3.)Then dry them with mifcrofiber towels.
4.)Use q-tips to get into fine areas to remove any last remaining dirt and debris
5.)Spray with Adams detail spray
6.)Apply Adams brilliant glaze and let sit for 5 mins then wipe down.
7.)Enjoy the beauty of VOLKS

For the wheels I would clean them with a pH neutral cleaner like the SONAX Wheel Cleaner Full Effect. It's very strong but completely safe on all finishes. For protection the Poorboy's World Wheel Sealant is one of my favorite products.

For the tires I'd highly recommend the TUF SHINE Tire Appearance Kit which will help you clean your tires but more importantly it provides a shine that lasts months not days or weeks. It is an outstanding combination that should work great on any tire!
