Cleaning Rays forged alloys - S202
I would welcome some advice for cleaning Rays forged alloys on S202. No problem with brake dust but I have a slight white film, streaky in places, taking the shine off the wheels.
They look fine when wet but as they dry the whiteness reappears. I think it may be due to wax being used (previous owner) which is enbedded in the textured finish. Tried very hot water, Swissol cleaner fluid, Autoglym engine cleaner (water based - no chemicals) etc, but little improvement.
Not sure that I should use the various wheel cleaners on the market, due to risk of chemical degredation.
any recommendations would be appreciated, IMHO these wheels are amongst the best around and I want them to look pristine.
Cheers

I have used Wonder Wheel , Ok I know it's harsh but do a wheel a time and wash off immeadiately it may do the trick.

Take the wheel off if you can, clean the inside of the wheel, this stops a lot of the dust coming back quickly after you cleaned them.
Then just clean the outside for a few months. I usualy take my wheels off every 4 - 6 months or so and have a real good look at the tyres too. Just to make sure no problems etc.
