Yes I use Sonax on all my wheels on my cars. It's safe on every wheel. Works great! I use the EZ detail brush to get the inner barrels clean. Buy everything from amazon, way cheaper, and free delivery if ur a prime member.

I use it actually just bought a big 5 Liter container from Amazon.com $88 bucks or $120 for the plus.. Both work, but as AlpineE92M3 said you need a brush or two ( Big one to reach the back then a smaller for the detail, I use the EZ Detail Brush, Griot's Garage Wheel Wand and a common "tire brush" for the actual tires).. I used to use Iron X but it can be hard to find and is pricey

I use it. Works great. But when my bottles run out, I'm gonna try the 1Z stuff. Seems to foam a little more, which I prefer.
I use Wheel Woolie brushes. Best I've found. No overspray, and reaches all the tight spots. I'm tempted to try the PoorBoys spray on, rinse off stuff. No brushes needed! |

Sonax is overpriced and overhyped. Works just as well as off the shelf products. I am currently using Wolfs and its overpriced too.
I have both a wheel woolies set and the ez detail brush. Both are great tools. |

Easier to get the dirt behind the spokes with the small wheel woolie, and the barrels with the larger one. They're soft brushes. With the ez detail, you get more splatter all over you. I use a long handle wheel brush to do the outside of the wheels.

Also use Griots HD wheel cleaner. I like it and it foams up well. I still think Sonax is better, but Griots is 95% of Sonax at 50% the price. Plus I can pick it up locally in the store.
