Wheel Cleaning Experience
Just thought I'd share my wheel cleaning experience with you all.
My wheels get washed every week but brake dust & brake pad deposits have built up over time & bonded to my rims, thought it was about time I took them off and give em a good going over.
I haven't had much success to be fair removing the bonded bits with various cleaners. Most were sharp raised chunks that ripped the sponge and just chewed through a clay bar. Nothing short of a chisel would shift it, in my opinion
Finally after reading several posts, i thought I'd give Meguiars Wheel Brightener a go.... ....here are the results.
Before:
After two washes with Gold Class:
After Wheel Brightener (4:1)
3 Coats of Wheel Sealant:
Then back on the car:
