This Sh!t works wonders on anything including the engine bay! The stuff I currently use:



I was going to ask if there is anything better.....
DO NOT use wheel cleaners. I can't remember why they are bad, but I know that I read in another car forum that they can ruin the finish on your wheels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If worst comes to worst, just use the soap and water you use to wash your car as someone stated above.

Holy $h!t, Simple green even has wheel cleaner

So, are you saying you'd use the regular Simple Green, but you wouldn't use the Simple Green Wheel Cleaner?!?!? Um...

I had NO idea there was a wheel cleaner until I found that pic on their web site earlier. The multi-purpose $h!t is good for the wheels too. I've used it on full strength because I didn't have an extra bottle to dilute it. But, it states to use full strength on wheels and the engine bay.

I'm going to look into that foam stuff.

I wouldn't recommend using full strength simple green on your wheels, I've heard too many stories of it eating the clear coat off.

Yeah, I've been looking for a empty spray bottle so I can dilute the Simple Green. I'm going to check into it at work again. Last time I looked Wal-Mart only had smaller bottles.
