help with wheels....

hey guys i was just wondering what do u guys use to clean your wheels... with all the dust from the brake pads... i've used black magic and it wasn;t all that, there were still dust that was on the wheel good that didn't come off without a good scrub... any suggestions? thanks

 

any kind of WEAK wheel acid works well, but works best when you scrub THEN spray off.

 

brand names would help. thanks

 

I just use some soap and water. get in there with a sponge and it comes right off. Tide works well.

 

I use Hot Rims . Cleans up the brembo brake dust with minimal elbow grease.

 

simple green works too

 

thanks guyz

 

simple green works great, also strangely enough armor all wheel cleaner works pretty good too

 

Simple Green MAX. The auto stuff. Little harder to find, tho.

Oh yeah, and a brush.

 

Simple green rules at pretty much everything.

Hell, I'd probably even drink it if I had the chance.

 

well i'm guessing you'd hafta induce vomiting...that might work to clean your wheels

 

The additional force and pressure would probably assist with that. Way to think out of the box! :laugh:

 

I use a generous amount of simple green and a towel.

Tastes like green cool-aid

 

simple green and a scrub brush, works like a charm.

 

just used the simple green on my wheels today and it cleaned real good...

 

rarely clean mine!!!!






BIG open rims FTW!!!


(they are currently covered in mud/dirt)

 

Jus make sure you clean your wheels when cool... If you clean them while they are hot it can cake the cleaner right on there. Once you get them clean, Clean your wheels more often with a less abrasive cleaner.
I clean mine once a week with soap and water. Stay on top of it and you wont have an issue. If you let the brake dust sit, it cakes on.

 

yeah i've noticed that... thanks for the heads up

 

put some Klasse AIO and a layer or 2 of the Klass Sealent after you clean them. That should make future cleaning efforts easier.

 

P21 wheel cleaner
