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.

After two washes with Gold Class:



After Wheel Brightener (4:1)



3 Coats of Wheel Sealant:

Looks awesome. Good work mate.

 

well done.good work

 

I like wheel brightner - I also use autosmart tardis thats very good at desolving tar

 

Very nice wheels, and a great job of cleaning them, they should be easier next time now you have some sealant on them.

 

Cheers guys for your comments.

Definitely got Tardis on my shopping list!!

 

Looks great, Ive sealed mine with AG and they clean themselves more or less now

 

cheers mate. What's AG?

 

Brilliant effort, and nice little write up too. Well done that man!

 

Well done. They look brand new now.
