To those that have polished american forces

[f3502wd]

What tire cleaner do you use? I need something strong that works on the semi wheels but wont ruin or stain the polish. I have yet to find something.

So with all the people that like to show off their expensive rim purchase from AF, not one of you wash your rims:lame:

Most people that own forces probably have their truck washed by someone else.

Have you had cleaner actually stain your polished wheels already?

I use this on my wheels and my edge that has factory polished 22s. I know those are clear coated, I would bet that this would be safe. But that being said, I go over everything with a brush with light pressure just to break up the dirt, its not just a spray on and wash off product. I use it on my wheels, tires and underside of the truck.

No chrome cleaners! It has to be ph neutral or the acid will stain the wheels. Just use the soap you washed the truck with. Keep an extra wash MIT for the tires and wheels. Your tires shouldn't really be that dirty unless you're using some junk sticky tire shine.

What tripleE posted is good stuff . Notice it says "Ph balanced" on the bottle.

No I don't have forces but I've owned 4 sets of welds. Welds > forces.....

I've only had mine for a couple months, but as stated above, i just use the same soap I wash the truck with, nothing fancy.

No that's what I'm trying to avoid lol. I had a guy come over and polish my forces a couple of months ago. He sprayed some acid/brightner and it left the tire looking like new, it also cleaned the polish and removed all the water spots.

...........and the underside of the truck.

You wash the underside of your truck too? I mean.........I'm pretty picky but dam..........that's serious!

I'll be the first to admit I go a little overboard with the cleaning. But it bothers me when the rest of the truck is spotless and then there's dirt or mud or whatever under the fender wells mainly. I clean the whole underside probably once a month or so and the wheel wells usually every time I wash it(every Friday). And I hose down anything I can get to with tire shine to keep it nice and black. LOL

I wash my truck at least once a week if not more and clean/rinse the underside almost every time. As soon as springtime gets here mine will be getting this treatment! Looks good!

[f3502wd]

Thanks bud! But it didn't take that long to be honest.

 

[getstroked27]

like these guys said, we always just used good soap and a mitt to clean the tires up, the wheels we used a fine grit jewelers rouge polish and microfibers. takes some serious time on 24x14's but the shine is amazing.

 

[swinky]

Please guys don't use the same mitt for the wheels as you do the paint.

 

[BigBluediesel08]

I use zypher wheel polish and apply it with a mothers powerball for my AF wheels.

 

[UNBROKEN]

The whole top of the motor on my last truck was polished aluminum...this stuff was a lifesaver. It used to be called Zoopseal but this is who they are now. Spend the money...polish once a year at most.
