 Of course car was soap is ok but if you are anal about keeping your wheels looking flawless then get your ass a nice chair and do as follows...Only use Windex Glass Cleaner to your 18-s. Clean off with a 100% microfiber towel. These 18-s get dirty really really fast (exspecially the insides) so prepair to get sweaty and down on your knees. I have used my 3 year warrenty on my 18-s. I got a whole new set of 4 because I kept on using wheel cleaner. PEOPLE, this is a very stong chemical and not meant to be used time after time on your wheels. It left the paint looking very dull and I had black marks in the paint. No, i did not tell all this to my dealer. I just said they came from the factory like this and want a brand new set.I am 99.9% sure though that these wheel cleaners fucked up my rims. So just used windex. Its not a strong chemical and the 18-s look beautiful when all is done.

 Nah, just use soap and water, after a while, you-re microfiber towel is just gonna get gunky...haha, and then you-ll just be rubbing the brake dust over brake dust.....soap and water works just fine when your-e cleaning your car.... you want to keep your rims clean? stop braking so hard....What do you mean u use yourd 3 year warranty on your 18-s? That doesn-t soudn right at all.....

 Microfiber towels are dirt cheap so when they get -gunky- as you said i just throw them away and use a new one. I used my warranty simply like this. The paint on these wheels had a defect. There were black swirl marks on all 4 wheels. Simple Enough.Called my dealer, showed them what i saw, and like that a set of 4 new Enkies were on the way.Hopefully none of you guys are dumb enough to re use your towels after washing your cars or wheels. This guy must think i-m an idiot! ^ ^ ^ hahaha...
