Any thoughts on tire and wheel cleaners to avoid? Specifically cleaners that could damage wheel finish?
i typically slosh some Meguiars in and go to town, and would like to take better care of my new Z from the start, if possible.

Stay away from Dark Fury. That stuff is potent. I believe its just acid in a bottle 🤣
That being said, stay away from cleaners that has acid

P&S Brake Buster is good for delicate wheels and maintenance. I switched to Adams wheel and tire cleaner. It does better than Brake Buster for deeper cleaning. After cleaning, I spray a few squirts of Gyeon Wet Coat and rinse off. Helps keep the wheels clean longer and easier to clean on the next wash

I use P&S Brake Buster at the moment, used it today. They do make a heavier duty product.

Car looks good. I been meaning to get a brush to put on tire dressing. My sponge is about to be done for. Paint brush FTW 😎🤙🏽

You talking about the P&S Iron Buster Wheel and Paint decon? That's not cost effective and you dont need to use Iron Remover on every wash

After switching to Adams, its been better for me. Especially on my Fiancé's RX350 that she drives daily. P&S Brake Buster isnt as effective to get the brake dust off compared to Adams

I use a detail brush and a vacuum to clean up the dust. Then use a wet detail brush around the crevices and a wet microfiber to get the dirt. Then detail spray on a clean microfiber for the final touch

Man, I keep my cars clean, but I see why some of y’all don’t want a black one. You’d have to stop halfway to work to wash it. With your sterile qtips, essential oils, alpaca hair cloths, cleaning the upholstery one stitch at a time. Hardcore!…props though. ;)
