2018 Toyota Rav 4

[tucko]

Hi everyone, I have two questions for you guys. My son just got a new 2018 Toyota Rav 4 and I need some help with how to clean the wheels and seats. The wheels are alloyed wheels and they're painted black. Not sure what to use on the wheels because I don't want to damage them. Can you guys give me some advice on what to use on them? Same question with the black synthetic leather car seats. Toyota calls the materials for the seats "Softex". I have attached two pictures of the wheels and the seats. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I use car pro inside for pretty much any and all interiors, it works well and it has a nice lemon scent to it. Do a test spot on inconspicuous spot first. As for the wheels well I tend to use carpro trix although you have a lot of good options for wheel cleaners.

The wheels are like clearcoat on the hard side of hardness. Since they are black marring and scratches be more visible on them. I would recommend to get a bucket used just for wheels and use a car schampo in it and then have your brushes in it. Rinse of the wheel and apply a wheelcleaner of your choice I use sonax that I link to. Something that desolves brakedust and iron. Then wheel woolies are soft and good brushes. Aggitate with them and then rinse it of with alot of water. This is something that I would do with Black wheels.
