Best thing to get them clean is your hand in a wash mitt with some car soap. No spray on cleaner is going to get all the dirt off them. Must wash them by hand. Trust me, we had the best spray cleaner when I worked at Lexus and it wouldn't begin to clean really dirty wheels. Washing by hand was the best. Also polished aluminum and chrome wheels will stain really easy so if you wash the truck and don't dry the wheels then they will get water spots and they will NEVER come off lol. Also its a good idea to wax your wheels when they are clean so that the brake dust will not stick to them.

The cleaner we used is only available in bulk so unless you want to buy 50gal of it it isn't available lol. What ever wax you use on the truck will work. I like meguiras.

Well cleaned the wheels with a microfiber cloth brush thing and some water which cleaned it decently. But I noticed a lot of fine scratches from regular use and mudding/offroading so I gotta figure out if my wheels are clear coated or not and get some scratch remover and polisher and wax
Edit: They're not clear coated

Might as well just plasti-dip over it, it would hide it and smooth it out if you put it on heavy
