opticoated wheels
 
How do you clean your wheels if they've been opti-coated? I normally use a brush but can that damage the opti-coat?

I already scrubbed it once but just realized this now. Hope I didn't hurt it too much.

no reason you couldn't use a brush, just choose wisely.

I like the daytona speed brushes for the wheel barrels and the mothers wheel brush for the face. Race glaze brushes if you want to get in the lugnuts.

probably wont need any strong wheels cleaners if you stay on top of it though. car wash soap or diluted apc should be fine

if you're in a hurry, they'll even clean up well with an old microfiber towel and sprayway glass cleaner (foaming - aerosol can - widely available)
