 try this stuff used this until I painted my wheels, cant use it anymore because its cant be used on coated surfaces, but it should work good on your volks. should be available at wal-mart. |

Nice thanks guys... going with Meguiar's since I already used it for the interior just wanted to make sure it was safe.

no special cleaners for my wheels. i use car shampoo (Griot's CarWash) with a boar's hair long-handle brush.
then after rinse, sprits PrimaHydro into a soft paper towel and wipe wheels dry after blowing air at it with my shopvac to remove most of the water.

Agreed. Aluminum is best treated with a pH neutral soap and water... no harsh cleaners. You risk clouding and discoloration on high end aluminum wheels.
