Now that is going to require some "thinking" for some of our members.

Just wondering if anyone here has any experience using Sonax wheel cleaner. I'm looking for the closest thing possible to a spray-on wheel cleaner that you don't have to physically touch. Just spray on and hose off. Since we have some detailing buffs in this group, I thought someone might have some first-hand experience using this or some other spray-on wheel cleaner that needs little to (preferably) no hands-on go get the wheels clean.

I've got some sonax, Alan was the recommender. Not quite spray on and rinse off though. Also I'm not sure how that will work with the plastidip. More spokes means more work!

Is yours the Sonax Full Effect or the Plus? Whatever I get, if it doesn't work well on the dip, I'll just keep it around for future use.

+1 on the CG Signature Series wheel cleaner. And, it's concentrated, 1 gallon makes 5. I liked Sonax, but like this better.

Well, I ordered some of the CG Signature Series wheel cleaner and while I was at it I ordered a small thing of DoDo Juice Blue Velvet Pro hard wax and Purple Haze Pro soft wax. They're specifically made for dark vehicles. I haven't waxed my car since I bought it in April so I figured I should probably get on that.
