Wheel cleaner for 892 21" wheels
The 892s are stunning but a pretty huge pain the ass to clean. I took my X3MC in for break-in service and asked them to wash the wheels, and they came back looking brand new. SA said they use a wheel cleaning spray but didn't know what.
Do y'all recommend one? |

My wheels and calipers are ceramic coated, so I use this product:
Adam's Eco Wheel Cleaner I also use this brush to clean the wheel wells so I don't have to take off the wheels. TAKAVU Master Wheel Brush

With the amount of break dust the OEM pads generate on a daily basis & the speed in which that dark film accumulates... the best cleaner in the world won't help slow that down one bit. The trick is to simply have a layer or two of a high quality ceramic coating so the dust sits on the surface of this smooth coating & easily washes away!

I use this: https://gyeonquartz.com/product/iron/
As others have noted, cleaning wheels is easier if they are coated with a wheel-specific ceramic coating. Mine are coated with: https://gyeonquartz.com/product/rim/ |
