I'll give it a go, thanks. Sonax is the first thing I've used that works like it should.

sonax is really meant for those wheels that haven't been cleaned in forever. otherwise there are plenty of otc wheel cleaners that do an amazing job for maintenance cleaning and some even are tire cleaners as well.

It's definitely good stuff, but very expensive IMO. Plus I wash my wheels about every 2-3 weeks (a long time I know) and wheel cleaner just isn't all that useful for me personally. When you spray it on, you have to scrub anyway so what's the point? But my wheels are pretty much the same shade as the brake dust so I'm lucky. I had 220M's and ZCP's before and that was a pain

+1. Car wash soap + water has served me well over the years. If I have to scrub, I'll just use the soap

Agreed on the armor all. Wash my oem zcp wheels every 2 weeks and it is amazing how much cleaner they are after having applied the armor all. Sonax cleaner is great for the occasional deep cleaning and definitely worked better than soap and water which I use for maintenance.

Dub wheel cleaner is a new product that is essentially the same thing as Sonax but much cheaper !

This Amorall stuff is garbage in my opinion. Impressive right after you spray it on, but the coating is gone after a 10 minute drive.

it lasted a decent time for me. there's a good video review on youtube of a guy using it on his aston martin. the wheel should be as clean as possible for best results.

whats's a good over the counter wheel cleaner for say Apex Arc-8 black powder coated (I think they are instead of painted) rims?
