Anyone know of some good stuff? I've got a set of wheels that literally havn't been cleaned in about 9 months. I've spent this evening scrubbing with a tooth brush and frairy liquied to no avail.
Suggestions? The cheaper the better.
Cheers

Nah, it's not corrosion, its baked on globs of brake dust, i've got the majority of it off. Just a thought, I've had my 'wonder wheels' at least 2 years. Des that stuff go off? |

i havnt come across anything better than wonder wheels, that doesnt affect the paint., put wonder wheels on for half hour , then apply some more and give it some serious elbow grease! eventually it will break down the the shit |

You've had my old Cordoba for 9mts, and around the same time your TD came off the road so I bloody hope that its not the Cordoba as those wheels where brand new when you bought it off me!
Wonder wheels worked for me on the scabby wheels on JNN - leave it for 5 minutes, then tooth brush the worst bits, then high power jetwash up close and personal.
Failing that if its ground right in - its refurb time. |
