Default few questions

Hi,

I have a few questions for you.

my wheels (16" sti alloys) - the insides have some real caked on grime, whats best to remove this?

body panels - whats best to remove oil contamination (iron x?)?

after foaming the car and then jetwashing off what do you recommend to finish the car off with?

many thanks

Daniel

What have you tried on the wheels? Undiluted Very Cherry or Bilberry, followed by Tardis then clay is my remedy for really dirty wheels. Oil contamination, I'd try APC.
After foaming then jetwashing I'd recommend 2 bucket method with something like Megs Hyperwash. Once washed, clay, polish and seal. What colour car?

at the moment just tried degreaser on the wheel but didnt touch it.

so the Megs is a wash, dry this with a towl before polishing?
