i never use any of that wheel cleaner crap. Soap and Water or degreaser and water works great and has never messed anything up.

I have that wheel cleaner as well, and I've never had any hazing. What did you use to clean it? A soft sponge I hope.

Also, dishwashing liquid cleans wheels really well, except it has a tendency to take off the clear coat on your rims, as well. But I still dishwashing liquid to clean my tires, though.

any chrome cleaner will give high polished wheels that hazy look, i learned that trying to clean my chrome lips on my high polished face Iforged wheels, so i started using McGuires all wheel cleaner and then they released the high polished wheel cleaner which works like magic, give it a try its the blue bottle wheel cleaner

Jonny, Jonny, Jonny - I hope you learned something Sunday... This is all you ever need to use on your wheels (aside from soap and water).
