Best aftermarket wheel cleaner/shine?

What is the best cleaner/shine/polish/detailer for aftermarket wheels? I have Fuel Couplers and don't have anymore detail spray at home. Also, what's the best way to clean wheel wells and have them look new/black not brown? I know ChemicalGuys has a spray for that but don't want to spend $20 + on a little bottle.

 

Check out the detailer section.
Lots of info on both wheels and tire cleaning.

 

This should probably be a sticky in the future, but here's a fairly comprehensive list of detailing products (including wheel cleaners)

Also, I started this thread a while back, and the guys jumped in with some good info and products regarding tire shine (but there are a few wheel cleaning crumbs in there as well).

Chemical Guys Decon Iron Neutrilizer and Diablo Wheel Cleaner.

Don't want to spend $20 on an awesome product? Fine spend $1,000+ on new wheels when your black powdercoat flakes off from corrosion due to brake dust.

I treat all wheels with Decon then use a wash bucket with hot water and Diablo Wheel Gel. Great stuff. I could eat off my wheels after every clean.

Do not get cheap with detailing products. Good products work much better than cheap ones so you use less product and it costs you less work. It can save money in the long run. Trust me you will not regret spending $20 on a good product. You will regret spending $5 20 times because the cheap shit doesn't work.

X 1 with the Diablo wheel cleaner. That stuff works awesome. It also works on raw aluminum. I use it for cleaning my Alcoas on my work truck all the time. It's $18 a bottle but it's concentrated and you dilute it I believe 3:1.

 

My personal favorite is Poor Boy's Spray & Rinse Wheel Cleaner. Since going to this product, I use nothing else - especially on tough to clean wheels. And as the name suggests, it's easy to use too.

 

I don't dilute. Maybe I should read the directions lol

 

Here's a chart from ChemicalGuys. Tells you the approximate ratio calculations for each size container.
