Wheel cleaner
Has anyone tried Purple Rain or Iron Out? I am looking for a good wheel cleaner that I can spray on and pressure wash off. I have XD Hoss wheels on my daily and there are a ton of small crevices that I refuse to hand polish.

I guess it is referred to as a "fallout remover". Supposed to breakdown the iron.

Here is a pretty informative video about how it all works, if you can get past this guy making googly eyes.

^^Color sanding will most likely take care of that.
As for wheel cleaner, best one I've found is the wash mitt and elbow grease. I've tried a few in the past and never was fully impressed. If you're fine with a 85% clean wheel, then the cleaners will fit your bill.
I'm anal about the chrome on wheels, mirrors, and bumpers. Hand wash and polish with Turtle Wax chrome polish for best results. I polish the chrome about once every 4 months.
Edit, just realized you may have polished aluminum wheels with no chrome cladding.

I use Sonax wheel cleaner. Works pretty well just spraying on and washing off without even touching the wheel with a brush or mitt.

Sub'd.
I've been using Adam's Deep Wheel Cleaner with a paint brush to get in the cracks and crevices. Multi-piece wheels are a huge PITA to keep clean, haven't found anything yet that is truly "no touch"

The iron-x mentioned earlier seems to be one of the main go to's on some of the detailing forums I was browsing when looking to clean my stuff up. They make a cherry scented version that doesn't burn your nose hairs like the lemon scented does. They seemed to like the cherry better 😂

I believe that is what's referred to as a "murder scene"

Our well water has a little iron in it. The Iron-X product turns purple in the presence of iron. Iron-X is the easiest way to clean wheels and hard water deposits. It's about the same price as Whink cleaner so I just use it for water spots too.

The very first time I had to wipe over the sprayed surface with a washcloth to get it all. I think that was mainly because the deposits were so thick. If you do it every month, just spray on, wait 5 min, then spray off.
For wheels I use a brush to get into all the crevices but haven't needed it inside the house.
