Guys,
I heard harsh wheel cleaners can stain white wheels. What's the best trick for keeping your white rims as clean as possible? I heard RainX works well. But will it damage the finish of the wheel? Let me know.

Actually.....
I would bet that the harsh wheel cleaners will take the clear coat off and eat at the paint.
My advice is read this..... Wheel Detailing 101....
Then buy a good "Acid Free" wheel cleaner.....
Also....
As they say (I do this as well.) Wax your wheels! It will help keep them looking great!
Hope this helps.

PS... the linked page above isn't working too well for me but you should be able to get what you need from it.
NOTE: Moving to "Detailing 101"
