Don't throw Rocks at me
I have an 09 SG as does the wife. the problem I have is getting the stocks rims clean. It's like they have little pits in them. I suspect the Dog is taking a whiz on them often. I cant get rid of the dog, no help there(we have 6). I have used Simple Green, SOOS or whatever it is called wih not much luck. I have some dark greasy looking spots that would not rub off no matter how much stuff I put on it. Before you all jump on me about " oh no not another thread on cleaning wheels again", I went back to the beginning thread on detailing and did not find the problem addressed. So there Road Ranger,

Yeah get a "rubbing compound" use a tooth brush and ALOT of elbow grease rubbing it into it. Youll need to get some heavy, med than soft glaze so it will bring the shine back. But take your time. You can and will rub off the clear and that will ruin the look of your wheels hardcore. But this is what I have always used. If you really have questions go to a wash rack at a car dealer ask him what he uses to get the wheels cleaned. They usally sell the stuff right at the dealerships to. Hope this helps.

If your dogs are peeing on the wheels, I don't know of any way you are going to be able to keep them looking nice. The factory wheels don't have a high polish on them which makes them very hard to keep clean.

an electric fence around your bikes will take care of the dogs pizzing on them. it worked very well in my garden only took one shot and they don't go near it, I havn't even had it plugged up for the last 3 months. I don't know what might clean your wheels though, sorry.
