How to clean your wheels the good way
Discussion
Found this on The You Tube.....
Is this the same guy who cleaned the Astra within an inch of it's life?
If not perhaps they'd like to meet each other!
He takes wheel cleaning to a new level and deserves credit for a pretty amazing job well done!

Is be worried about scratching the wheels on the floor! I've never cleaned the back of an alloy. If I cleaned a car like this I would be scared to drive, and cringe in the wet lol
I'm not some loony detailer, but often I'll spend the evening in my garage with a bottle of wine, a clay bar and wax. And after that I spend my time trying not to get the car so much as moist - even leaving home an hour late for work so there is no moisture/dew on the road. That or take the OHs car.Its most vexing.
Pressurised water on the brakes?
Doesn't seem a good idea to me. The perforations will allow water into the ventilations (if they are not already saturated from the deluge) where corrosion will take place - in turn reducing the cooling efficiency and life of the rotors. Plus, when he does eventually get round to driving the car the brake pads will redistribute the rust accumulated on the swept faces of the discs all over his lovely clean rims.
I always cringe when I see so called perfectionists using a pressure washer on a car.

What do you suggest then?Doesn't seem a good idea to me.

Depends on the state of the wheel arch liners/suspension/calipers. I spent a day using damp microfibres and clay bars to get the surface clean then used Auto Glym Resin Polish followed by three coats of Poorboys Wheel sealant on the painted surfaces and Auto Glym Rubber and Vinyl Care on the plastic and rubber surfaces. Maintenance wise a wet microfibre over the wheels/arches/calipers is all it takes to keep them dust free and shiny.
You Clayed your arch liners? I don't think many people have the inclination to do that. In which case some TFR and a carefull jet wash will suffice. This area is designed to get wet after all, Unless you only drive your car in dry weather.Gassing Station | Bodywork & Detailing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
