Burned on break dust!?

[Hayley]

Got tons of it stuck to my lovely white wheels so they now are an attractive shade of grey & black :/
I've not cleaned them in... umm.. months! lol.

Reckon a respray is gonna be on the cards but until I can be bothered with that, what can I use?
Clean wheels & a scrubber brush-y thing?
Something more heavy duty?

Sweeties for anyone who fancies doing them for me!

The Autoglym stuff is meant to be pretty good.

Fairy power spray does the same job, it is very acidic though.

 

[Hayley]

I've got the AG stuff, just wondered if anything out there was gonna shift it better.
I'm not up on products tbh.

Will have a fiddle tomorrow with the AG

Off the shelf if the AG is not cutting it, Wonder Wheels is the next step up.

I am having the same trouble with the wheels on the GTi, getting some trade range Autoglym Wheel Cleaner to try.

I will do it for a bag of Cola Bottles ...

 

[Beef-Mc]

Cola might even sort it as well!

 

[Hayley]

oooh, coke! good idea!

Cola bottles you say,.. do they gotta be Hairbo?

 

[SkidMarx]

The best stuff ive found to use is the ixtar wheel cleaner from renault, its evil stuff. Bout £20 for 5 litres iirc.

 

[cleanyourcar]

Meguiars Wheel Brightener would be my choice and a aggressive clay bar.

 

[D1CKY]

Sorry to gatecrash, How aggresive would wheel brightener be at say a 4-1 mix ? :S

 

[oz_clio]

i use it at 5:1 which is ok....tbh youll still get decent cleaning at 9/10:1
depends on the finish of your wheels, if they have a nice coat of laquer then theyll be fine

Don't have to be ... prefer the ones without sugar on them, but don't want to sound fussy

I use that i4deatailing bright wheels stuff pretty good, although your wheels may need something more acidic.

Fizzy ones suck & Haribo is where its at!

Gonna have a crack at them later with AG I think, if I get time!
Its far too hot to currently be thinking beyond a cold shower!

 

[mini-valver]

I'v got some Megs overspray clay you can borrow!

Sounds like a plan... hows about.. I bring my car to you with sweeties & watch you do it

I'll even let you clay all of her
