Inner Alloy Grime

[JaredHasNoBrain]

I got some new alloys but want to give them a full clean before I put them on the car,
I bought some Auto Glym Alloy Cleaner stuff, Its Foamy and im using a Wire brush a soft one and a hard one, its barely getting the grime off the inner wheel.

Anyone got suggestions on whats the best to use?
My arm is killing so need something that will lift the grime easily haha

Thanks

I wouldnt use a wire brush you will just damage the paint. I normally use APC tardis and ironx when i give the wheels a full clean but depends on the dirt i guess.

Im using the softer one, it wont come off any other way, its really stuck there!

Iron x or petrol. is it grease or baked on stuff. iron x is very good.

A mix of both if im honest haha

It'll be embedded brake dust and tar spots. Iron-X (multiple applications if it's as bad as you make out) and some Autosmart Tardis is all you require. If you're feeling like a detailing god you can whizz the wheels off and clay them inside and out, then get some sealant and/or wheel wax on them to make cleaning them easier!

Ill have a look at Iron-X Tomorrow then, And ill get some sealant to
Thanks

I would suggest some good apc, tar remover (AG or tardis) then clay

Iron-X and Tardis, will come off no problem.

ValetPro Bilberry wheel cleaner, IronX and Autosmart Tardis will be all the wheel cleaning products you'll ever need IMHO...

They're wheelie good...

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

cos I was working, They are looking fine now, a good hour or so just scrubbing one wheel,
In the end I just gave up and left them, After a week of them being on and their dirty as feck

And to CMCquitty, that Pun.......

Well did you seal them after cleaning?

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Well did you seal them after cleaning?

Yup got the autoglym one,

 

[Yellow Dave]

The spray wheel sealant? If so probably why they're dirty already

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

LOL might as well have covered them in hairspray.

Gteqniq C5 will do perfectly, assuming they're actually PROPERLY clean.

Failing that, just don't bother cleaning them
