What’s the best wheel cleaner for black wheels?

I’m planning on cleaning my truck’s wheels this weekend, but I wanted to try a different cleaner. My wheels are black and the other times I’ve cleaned them, they didn’t get completely clean—so what’s the best cleaner for black wheels?

This is a good question, and certain cleaners do actually work better for certain colors—though for black wheels it may just be that you need a better cleaner than the ones you’ve been using.
According to online customer reviews, there are several top-rated wheel cleaners that work well with black wheels—we’ll break down the top three:
  • P&S Professional Detail Products - Brake Buster Wheel Cleaner: Acid-free formula that’s safe for both wheels and tires, cleans even the toughest grime, and foams easily to ensure good coverage.
  • Chemical Guys CLD_997_16 Diablo Wheel Cleaner: With no harmful chemicals, this cleaner is safe to use on all-wheel finishes, providing a solid clean that gets rid of dirt and caked-on brake dust. Also features scratch-resistant technology.
  • Adam’s All-in-One Wheel & Tire Cleaner: With a neutral-pH formula, this cleaner is easy to use and helps get rid of built-up dirt and grime without damaging the finish. Make sure to dilute with water, especially if cleaning painted wheels.
Hopefully, this helps make future wheel-washing easier!
With all the time you spend making sure your truck looks its best, make sure it’s also covered by the right insurance policy. Licensed
