| good RIM CLEANER???
I'm just posting this in Imports, even though it's not a domestic/import specific post. 
Anyway, could someone recommend a good rim cleaner? I don't want my nice silver rims to get a yellow tinge from shitty rim cleaner. |

| Simple Green, as available at any household cleaner store. Use it as concentrated for brake dust nastiness (a la BMW or other soft-pad euros/etc) or dilute with clean water in a spray bottle for general rim cleaning.
It's totally non-toxic and environmentally friendly too
it does wonders with a decent wheel brush. On cool (not recently driven/braked) wheels/brakes, spray til wet with hose. cover liberally with simple green, let sit for ~30sec, then go to work with the wheel brush. After a good cleaning, spray clean with hose and do again if necessary.
Also, works great with the wheel brush for cleaning sidewalls, makes tire shine stick better and if you want to, after drip-drying, towel off the clean wheels so no water spots, though there shouldn't be any.
