My 20" wheels on the Durango are much different than the standard black wheels that come on the HellCat.

Way harder to clean. Lots of elbow grease as I have avoided putting any aftermarket wheel cleaner on them yet. Just soap and water.

Was wondering if anyone has heard of an approved cleaner type spray to use.

Even with my Triumphs (on my Challenger), it's a bucket with car wash soap, a chair, and multiple sized, long handled scrub brushes.

change brake pads. Z26 pads don't leave much dust and the wheels clean very well

Personal opinion.
I never liked Brass Monkey wheels, as TO ME, they just never looked clean. Had them on my 16 for a short while. I would clean them, and as I walked away, it looked as though I hadn't. So I would scrub them again, and ended up looking like I never cleaned them.
Yours, on the other hand, look great.
I don't know what soap you are using, but mine NEVER looked that nice.

That's similar to what I got going on. When I step away they still seem dirty or that I missed a spot, which drives me f'n crazy. 😳😂

Spray-nine cleaner all over the wheel to start.....you can get it at Lowes (maybe other places too)

https://www.spraynine.com/product/spray-nine-cleanerdegreaser-8/?locale=en

then one of these brushes....with cars wash soap/water........it easily fits between the spokes plus allows you to scrub the inner rim barrel. The handle is wooden so it doesn't scrath or damage the wheel.

I use chemicals guys diablo wheel cleaner to clean the wheels & wheel guard max to add some protection & prevent brake dust from sticking. On the first clean, clean & wax the inner barrels to make your life easier in the future.

I have a feeling I'm gonna be doing quite a bit of wheel cleaning now. These almost have a blue tint in certain light, I really like them.
