20 months of brake dust

[Munson]

ZOMG. Hard work?

Wheel cleaners. Hot shampoo. Brushes? No good. To finish them off I had to resort to T-cut and a tooth brush.

Now I'm ready to START cleaning the car tomorrow

De-scaling acid is your friend.

The good news is that after 4 years and 47,000 miles, each rim is still good as new. No marks at all.

I'll rewash them tomorrow when I do the sills & arches, and probably try a wheel wax. I feel that some protection is needed considering the raping they got today.

Washing the actual car might be another topic

Scrubbed up ok today. Ultra-Inferno in the sun. A few of paint issues though. Bird s**t stains here and there, and some swirls on sills where I've sponged. Close up, the detail geeks would have a fit, but IMO it looks good, and the rims are mint as f**k. Not a single blemish anywhere. Female-free rims.

Roffle. We used Cillit Bang to clean our bong every week in Germany. Potent. I renamed it Cillit Bong.

It was the cleanest bong in Europe. Seriously, that stuff is good at cleaning the inside of a bong. Cillit Bong roffle.
