Default Are wheel brushes any good? How about P21S Wheel vs. Gel?

Looking for a better way to clean my wheels. Right now I just use soap and a synthetic sponge...

I've heard a lot of good things about the P21S wheel products, I love their car wash. Is it worth it/needed to buy the stronger P21S Gel wheel cleaner?

Also are wheel brushes any good? I've always thought they'd scratch the hell out of the wheel, but there's a few for sale at properautocare, and they seem to be **** (in a good way) about their products.

TIA

Default Use the P21s gel for the really caked on baked on brake/wheel mess.

Really good stuff. Can't go wrong with either product. They go quickly though.

Default Yep! P21s products kick *** - gel is for REAL cleaning, the other for weekly clean-ups

you should order that kit they have for <$60, it comes with their wax, too - I like it better than the normal grade zymol stuff.

Default This is really good stuff as well, plus you can order a gallon of it.

They have nice finger sponges as well.<ul><li><a href="http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog.jsp?L1=L1_1000&amp;L2=L2_1002&amp;SKU=1110 6">Griot's</a></li></ul>

Default Simple green dilluted every 2 weeks...wash with soap and water the rest of the time>>>>

I use my old wool mitts from the previous season...very soft.
I have 64k miles on these wheels and they still look like new. P21s is awesome...but simple green is MUCH MUCH cheaper...
IMHO

I remembered that right as I posted the link. Just a little cheaper for the Griot's.

Default Yeah the P21s is a little pricey! Which is odd, b/c the rest of their product is REALLY cheap,

atleast compared to Zymol.

Is the Gel in a spray form, too?
