I use Griot's car wash , then spray on the Spray Cleaner and Polish.  I sometimes use a paste Carnuba wax which will make it harder for the wheels to get dirty and easier to get clean .

If the wheels are yellowing maybe there is some kind of petroleum build up ...or a stain. I've not experienced yellowing so I'm at a loss to advise .  Dolph

Hey guys, I ended up just using some Mcguires spray detailer and elbow grease. I think the yellowing was just chain lube or something of the sort. They came clean and white again. I think next year though I may go to black wheels. White looks great but a PIA.

I had white wheels on my '92 900ss..beauty of a bike white frame with white wheels very sharp...swore I'd never have white wheels again as I hated cleaning them...Have an '06 S4R with Black wheels..which could use a cleaning but you'd never know just looking at them  [laugh] [moto]

Be careful using these. I've taken the paint completely off my car trying to rub off a stain.
