Keeping polished wheels nice

What do i use?

 

Autosol

 

elbow grease.

 

think he brought some of that already from halfords

 

Strangely enough they had non in stock [:^(]

 

bum cheese?

 

They had non of that either

 

polish them with autoglym hi resin polish after a good autosoling.sposed to prolong the shine so i was told

 

don't go anywhere near them with autosol. use a fine liquid polish, like brasso.

 

*hijack mode*

Should I use brasso on my zaust too?

 

A virgins fanny batter!







Sorry did I say that out load....

 

wheel wax

weird stuff, but it gets the crap off and really helps keep it off!

 

use autosol then go over it with brasso.

 

has anyone actually used wheel wax on their bare polished wheels? I was thinking of giving it a try but would be interested in other peoples experiences.

 

Is there any way to lift the sh1t off before cleaning/polishing. With all the salt on the roads my RMs look nasty [:^(]

I'm sure I heard someone mentioned cola and aluminium foil
or was that the packed lunch post

 

Lad at work was talking to the blokes that clean the cars at the dealer and they mentioned cola!!!

Weird!!

Wheel wax works a treat on vw's own wheels, mine were really knacked with burnt in rock salt, took a bit of effort to shift it but they're bling now! It works on BBS ones as well! Blood expensive for such a small tub though!!

 

I have some ACE112s which are diamond cut chrome, when i bought them R-tec gave me an info sheet on chrome/really shiny wheels, saying how many wheel cleaners are NOT good to use especicially when kerbed.

personally I sponge the alloys down weekly with fairy liquid in a bucket It does the job a treat.

 

Yip can't beat soapy water and a bit of effort.

Nearly all of the wheel cleaners contain acid or alkaline that strips off the dirt, but if the wheels got a mark it attacks the wheels too, not good!

Also polishes contain abrassive ingredients, that's wot gives the shine, but it also thins the laquers/ chrome etc.

 

brasso, autosol depends how bad it is.


does anyone know any good non acidic wheel cleaners?
weve got some acidic stuff that is used on the other car and thats striped the paint from the calipers and the salt from the road doesnt help but still gotta be nasty stuff to do that
