Default Bleach Spray....n White wheels....

Im so sick of cleaning my white wheels (thanks to Rayaburg non asbestos pads ) Would it be safe on my tires and the clear coat over my wheels if I were to squirt them down with some "Scrubbing Bubbles w/bleach" or something of that nature? Im thinking it should be ok but I'd hate for the bleach to break down the rubber compound in the tires

pouring bleach on that might not hurt it BUT why take the chance.... bleach is a pretty harsh chemical, why not just normal soap.. its not like if the bleach doesn't mess it up, its going to clean it better...?

Hahahahh Raysbestos sucks so much ass. My wheels used to be covered in dust before. Now I use good old OEM pads.

They sell spray on wheel cleaners that requires no scrubbing. They work well on painted wheels.

Don't spray bleach on ANYTHING. Bleach is a harsh chemical. Use Meguiers wheel cleaner for all clear coated wheels. Also, if you really want to get the brake dust off, take your wheels off and start scrubbing.

I used to have a set of white wheels and I used Turtle Wax Chrome Polish (in a white bottle with a red cap). U rub the **** on and wipe off, it made them look brand new.:thumbup:

NEVER EVER put anything on your wheels except for SOAP AND WATER. Anything else will damage the wheels finish.

Painted rims Suck!!! Powder Coating is the only way to go! I just use Meguiars wheel cleaner, and they look NOICE! I used to have a weird spray that would repell dust that worked great. I ran out and threw away the can... Now I can't remember the name of it...
