Alloy cleaner

(1/2) > >>

Ifti:
I need some good stuff to spray onto my alloys and dislodge all the road salt/brake dust, and the rest of the crap on them!! The car is pretty heavily caked in crap over the winter period and I'm preparing to give it a good clean this week. Just missing some stuff to clean the wheels.

I have the odd kerb mark, and 1 scrape on 1 alloy (getting them all refurbed and coloured in the spring  :happy2: ), so I need something that wont cause any extra damage etc to these areas?

Thanks in advance.

A good wheel brush & pleanty of hot soapy water should do it.If it's really bad then one of the wheel cleaning kits should help.If you can get the wheels off & clean them that way.

Was going to say that but it appears he has some ground in brake dust he needs to shift. As my wheels are cleaned at least weekly and are waxed every other week I never need anything other than warm soapy water!  :happy2:
