_Shane_ Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Lads is there anything on the market that is top notch for cleaning alloys. My do lucks are mint , outer side of the alloys are shining non stop Just want to take of the rims and clean behind the spokes and stuff but said i would ask if ye use anything that would stand out from other products and anything that MUST NOT be used on rims that may tarnish them etc cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axle Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/images/front_picture_library_UK/dir_435/car_photo_217920_7.jpg That is very good stuff. Although you shouldnt use them on split rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mplavery Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 i have painted rims and kinda have the same worry about the paint going funny with some products. i would prob say if they go clean with normal soap & water just use that mate. Its better to be safe then sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Try using what you normally wash the car with 1st, most wheel cleaners have some level of acid in them which i wouldnt put anywhere near my wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vvteye Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I used wonder wheels and it was brilliant for getting all the crap off, then one day I clearly didn't rinse off one of them properly and a few days later there were large areas of laquer missing and tarnishing. Go careful with it matey, especially on tidy alloys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Shane_ Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 All i want to clean is in behind the spokes, the bits u can easily access with your hands lol Might try soap and water first and some elbow grease, that should pretty much shift it On days like today i wish i had a garage rain pourin down outside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
