Default cleaning white powdercoat wheels?

ok here goes nothing... ive recently bought some absolutely stunning custom white powder coated cobra r's and the break dust was easily taken care of with some soap and water and a rag. now... the rust from the rotors or something else has found its way to my wheels... anybody know any cleaner that is safe to use with this type of wheel ... i live in pittsburgh and cant find **** up here its all for aluminum, chrome,...ect.

My Metal Rx and Wheel Seal both work great on powder coated wheels. The Metal Rx is for wheels and metal that are oxidized and need some tlc. The Wheel Seal will clean, shine, and seal all in one step, it isn't as good as removing oxidization or buildup as the Rx.

Either of the products will work, the Metal Rx has more cleaners in it.

id just like to say that the wheel seal that i bought from justin at obsessive is great. recommended if you have some hard to clean wheels with a material that is difficult to find products for.

as for pictures ill get you some when i clean them next time with some before and after

very happy customer will be buying from you again
