Any tips for cleaning LR4 stock/OEM Rims for a 2015 LR4.
[Have the 19 INCH Seven-Spoke 'Style 703']. PICTURE below.
Have some built up grime + probably brake dust.
Not sure the exact material/coating/finish of the stock LR4 rims?, but I am told this Meguiars will work:
Hot Rims™ Wheel Cleaner & Tire Cleaner
Or is it too toxic and a chance it will ruin the rim?

I'm a big fan of Sonax wheel cleaner, I've found it to work better than others I've tried. Baked on caked on brake dust is hard to get rid of though.

Generally any wheel cleaner that is clear coat safe should be good for us.

I have the black package gloss black wheels, and mine are 100% clear coated.

+1 on Sonax, smells like a$$ but it does the job well. I'll usually spray the rims prior to washing so it gets some time to soak. Get yourself a stiff brush to get in the cracks. I also found that 3M adhesive remover sprayed on a microfiber cloth works well to get really tough build-up.

I use it so much that I bit the bullet and got the large jug to refill the spray bottle https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BDOCWMQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
