Dirty Wheels

The Vees wheels get amazingly dirty, i have had some Bilberry non acidic wheel cleaner and havent really used it properly. So with a foaming head and a karcher no brush,

They went from this:

to this

finally to this, no brush needed and these wheels didnt have any protection on them and just the PW. I know there not totally clean but with a mild use of the brush they would be fine!!

I know the feeling, I can never be arsed to do mine properly either, far too fiddly then they're dirty after driving it for 5 mins! But it doesn't help that the black bits on mine won't shift!

No offence dude, but my wheels don't look this dirty when my car is about to be washed, let alone after!!

I was using the G220 today, so wanted to save the back!! I thought it was an amaxing product tbh, back to my hole now then

p.s Megs 83 + 80 is a bit of a PITA!!!

Indeed, I revisited #80 when I first started on the 106 and wondered why.

I will be sticking with Menzerna for the foreseeable future.

On DW they rave about it, but ive tried it loads of times in nicer conditions than today and i cant get it to correct properly, for me it does the same as SRP, and 83 is a biatch too, what menz should i get? 3.02 + final finish~?

I would get the 3.02 and both the Final Finish, use the 85RD to follow the IP and the 106FA as a standalone one stepper.

Everything goes in and out of fashion on Dodoworld.

I would say the work time is a tad longer, all seem to finish down easier and better looking.

these products are great when the wheel is too dirty to get cleaned by normal means...since I wash the car every weekend mine only get REALLY dirty if it has been raining...
 
I hate cleaning the wheels on the car, they are a mission & as said get really bad within a few miles. I did however clean the inside of the wheels when I had them off the other month, go me ;)
