Sonax wheel cleaner?
Has anyone used Sonax wheel cleaner on the factory wheels? I've got 1 1/2 gallons left over and would like to use it if safe for X5 M wheels.
I could not use it on our Land Rover. It didn't damage the wheel, but caused a blotchy, darker shade of gray on the rotor hat. It never caused anything similar on our GL450 or CTS-V, but I didn't want to take any chances if I could just ask. Thanks! |

I use it and follow up with Armor All Wheel Protectant which is a brake dust repellant.

Simple green degreaser cleaner for vehicles; works like a charm and won't ruin wheel finish

This is the best and safest wheel cleaner out there for rims. Oem rim cleaner is sonax also but rebranded with bmw. Great product, would only use sonax on my oem and current after market rims where i actually care for my finish lol

If you take care of your wheels, you shouldn't have to use Sonax very often if at all. The very safest product out there is still P21S. I wash my wheels weekly with EZ Detail Wheel Brush and soap. Don't need anything else.

I use the large one. It's a bit of a stretch to get it all the way to the very inside of my 21s, but it works! I've had it for years, and it still works as well as it did day one.
