Im in the same boat. I wash my girls car about once every couple of weeks and it takes me twice the time. Its also white LOL.

best wheel cleaner is?
Wife's vehicle never gets washed. She don't care to take care of her 2013 edge... Her last vehicle I will help her get. When it's done she's gonna be walking.
I wash mine weekly for the most part but it's like these wheels gather brake dust and just won't let go. It's a love hate relationship.

That defiantly can make a difference. My wheels are powder coated and hardly collect anything. Previous wheels were painted black and held up pretty nicely too.

Same here on every other vehicle Iv owned. Something about the coating on these wheels just hold on to grime.

The finish could be jacked on your wheels, especially if there was a harsh or acidic cleaner used on your wheels.
