What wheel cleaner on 20in diamond cut wheels?

As the title suggests really, what wheel cleaner do you use on the diamond cut wheels. I've been a big fan of the Bilberry stuff for a few years, I've read the blurb online again and it isn't acidic so says it's typically safe for all wheel finishes.

I am guessing plenty of owners take their cars to hand car wash places where they douse you whole car in all sorts of nasty acidic cleaners... Anyway my point being surely my stuff has to be mild in comparison?

My m3 wheels are mirror polished and I just use soapy water on the face and the autoglym clean wheels stuff for the painted bits between spokes.

Just keep them really polished and then you should need wheel cleaner

I've been using the BMW wheel cleaner since my 2nd set of replacement wheels went on and the lacquer issue is still reoccurring.

same here ive used BMW own and still the wheel centres are corroded, thinking its a bad design and might get mine powder coated after the warranty runs out need another 4 new ones before that,ive had two sets already and the quality of the diamond cut alloys on E70 cars are susceptible to corrosion.
Soap and water alone wont remove the brake dust from behind the wheels.

I use this stuff and it is just spray on and wash off. Really good for cleaning wheels and says it's safe on all wheel types. Oh and it's smells nice too....

I think Raj suggested it a couple of years back.

I use that cleaner as well, but it does not really shift any break dust (my previous Dutch product from Protech on the other hand was a lot better, but can't get that here).

A blond wig and a skirt on a stick will be enough to capture you

Bilberry is the only stuff I use. It shifts brake dust quite well but I use it diluted 1:1 and you safely leave it on the rims for a while with no issues.
