For a light cleaning, I=E2=80=99ve used either Meguiar=E2=80=99s or =

John and Judy,

For many years I used "painted wheel cleaner" on my painted (BJ7) wires. =
I scrubbed them with a long soft bristle brush and then sprayed them =
off with a wide spray (reduced pressure) pressure washer. Never an =
issue.
=20
Now, on my BJ8 with chrome wire wheels, I use "Meguiar's Hot Rims Chrome =
Wheel Cleaner". You simply spray it on the wheel and then hose it off. =
Just a hose and household water pressure. Once a year I pull each wheel =
and check the brakes and the condition of the tires and wheels. While =
the tires are off, I clean both the inside and outside of the wheel with =
the Meguiar's and a very soft bristle brush and simply hose them off. I =
watched Allen Hendrix use the Meguiar's when he did my wheels and tires =
and it really worked well. That is the only stuff he uses (I have no =
financial interest in Meguiar's or Allen's operation). I was impressed =
with what I saw and it is all I use. My wheels sparkle and I get =
comments on them.

Has anyone ever used a low pressure power washer to clean chrome wire =
wheels? Could it do harm?=20
