Re: Cleaning rims with painted and polished surfaces?
.
For painted surfaces: soad & water and sometimes wax.
For polished surfaces: On my HRE's, I use "Eagle One Billet Aluminum Polish" on the polished aluminum outers. This was recommended by HRE and works very well.

Good results with these two products: Audi's own (acidic) or P21S Wheel Cleaner (non-acidic)...
I prefer the non-acidic, because wheels get scrapes and nicks, and acid can discolor the bare metal. Don't assume paint and clearcoat is everywhere to protect them. I use the P21S and use wax on my clear-coated alloy wheels.
If you use Audi's wheel cleaner (made by Eagle One, I believe), wash it off in 20 seconds. The P21S Wheel Cleaner is great, non acidic, no complaints, and available in small trial size and refills at:<ul><li><a href="http://www.classic-accessories.com">http://www.classic-accessories.com</a</li></ul>
