Alloy Wheel Cleaner

[Wakz]

Hi, I need to get some alloy wheel cleaner as dirt is starting to stick to my alloys and there loosing the shine they had when I got the car 4 months ago.

But im confused on which cleaner to get, have heard good things about Bilberry.

Although my question is, while cleaning my alloys I may aswell do my dad's wheels:

Whats the best alloy wheel cleaner to use to clean them?

FLOL!! You haven't even cleaned them since you owned the car have you! That picture reeks of carwash...

Mine are clean, there off my dad's car haha!

And thats actually after a car wash...

I don't think Bilberry alone will get that out.

 

[Wakz]

What do you suggest i use/do? Or is it not possible?

 

[Bluebeard]

Reading fail.

I think you need some wonder wheels. Proper horrible stuff so wear gloves! and make sure you wash it all off properly. They will come up like new.

Heard about that aswell, i think wonder wheels was on offer in halfords recently.

But i read somewhere that bilberry is better than wonderwheels?

some people rate ironx but those wheels will take some work!

APC neat
Bilberry 2:1
De-Greaser 4:1
Vikan Wheel Brush
2 Raceglaze Brushes
and a nail Brush is all you need.

Going to attempt to clean them on the weekend probably.

What's APC Neat? Sorry if thatsa stupid question? I assume its some sort of degreaser or cleaner? Im sure i read on this forum else where that there's no difference in them and the cheapest is from tesco?

Where would you say is the best place to get them brushes?

Brick acid or some sort of terrorist explosive device?

APC is 'all purpose cleaner' such as Daisy from a supermarket. A single wheel cleaner will struggle with that IMO. will probably need several attempts.
