All purpose cleaner (usually green in color), spray on once a week and rinse with a high pressure hose. I do that on mine, once a week; I have not (physically) touched my wheels with a sponge for 2 months now. Works like a charm!quote:

I have not seen or used "Simple Green", only have heard the name. Not sure what properties this has.quote:

Are you referring to something called "Simple Green"?
Simple Green is great for cleaning wheels. I use it to clean my Thor's all the time. I believe its biodegradable too.quote:

I picked up the huge jug of it at Costco. Its pretty cheap to use and it doesn't have any toxic smell to it. I use it to clean my Thor's and it cleans most of the brake dust off and then I clean it a bit with normal car wash soap and a car wash mit for a really shiny wheel.quote:

Excuse my ignorance but is "Simple Green" a car cleaning product or a household clean all? I'm not familiar with it in the UK but would love to get my hands on something to make cleaning the Thor alloys a bit easier. I've not used / seen anything here that's just a spray on / clean off solution.
I'm in Canada on vacation in a few weeks - must buy some of this stuff - if I can convince my wife to make a detour to a car place - yeah right![]()
Simple Green is a multi-purpose cleaner. It is usually found in the Auto section though. Just find the section that contains car wash, wax, etc..and you should find it. Good luck.quote:
