The mrs had a wheel refurbed. £35 by a mobile guy. He said NOT to use any products on new alloys particularly on refurbs. Soap, water and a gentle scrubbing brush will ensure they last longer. He said the wheel cleaners can be quite harsh on the laquer (sp).

Yea anything acid based will eat away at the finish, if you clean your wheels and then polish and wax them all the dirt will wash right off :)

BMW sell an acid free wheel cleaner for £20 for 4 or 5 litres,
it just seems like ordinary citrus degreaser.

If you find anywhere decent down here let me know, I want mine done too :p

I did see a sign outside Hlafrauds the other day saying they, or a third party they use, will refurb alloys now.
