    Haze/Residue from wheel cleaners?

    I have polished aluminum Borbet Type Ts. Everytime I want them to shine, I basically have to wipe them off using a rag versus a spray and spray off deal. Doesnt take too long and it gets the job done, so who cares.

    Anyway, I usually use simple green as it does the job like a mofo, but if I have the stuff, Ill use a specific wheel cleaner. With simple green, I dont have to apply as much as a wheel cleaner, but I think the simple green might be leaving some sort of chalkish haze on my wheels.

    The only time my wheels have a good shine to them is when I rinse them...when they dry, theres a damn haze!

    What should I do?

    Simple Green can be (is) very corrosive to aluminum parts if not diluted enough.Dilute at least 10:1. And get it off as quickly as possible on aluminum or chrome and never leave it dry.
