Re: Cleaning GTA Wheels
I use Meguiars wheel cleaner. wet the rim, spay with cleaner, let sit, and then spray off as I scrub at the same time with a mitt. Repeat if needed

Re: Cleaning GTA Wheels
I use black magic aluminum wheel cleaner to start, wash it with a toothbrush in the spokes. Then i use speedys metal polish and polish in between the tight spots with a q-tip. You dont need to polish them but i like my stuff super clean
