Alloy wheel cleaner and protection

[dev2017]

Hi

im looking for some reccomendations on products for cleaning alloy wheels (say weekly) and something to protect them with after. I have Black gloss wheels.

Also if the wheels are caked in brake dust or what ever, what is best to tackle that?

thanks

This stuff works great on my wheels (which are also black gloss), although depending on how often you clean them it can get a bit expensive

I use dragons breath for a deep clean and bilberry for a lighter clean. Protect with Gtechniq C5. Seems to work well.

Use something like Bilt Hamber Auto Wheel to deep clean then a ceramic coating like Gtechniq C5 to give long term protection. Once coated you'll only need to use normal shampoo and a wheel brush and wheel mitt.

cheers

C5 for me applied every 4-5 months or so depends how much I use the car to seal the wheels. I use Bilt Autowheel to get the contaminants out. I use normal car shampoo and a soft mitt to actually clean them. Never had to use any abrassive alkaline/acid based cleaner like the cheap stuff from Halfords to get brake dust out it will wipe off with the mitt and shampoo.

Wheels off.

BH Autowheels.

Various brushes and mf's.

Clean both sides with autowheels then follow with tar remover, rinse, Autowheels again just to make sure.

Clay.

DA with soft a pad and a finishing polish to remove the light swirls etc

Then choice of wax or sealant.

Gloss black wheels are same as gloss black cars, fantastic clean, pain keeping em that way.

Colly, fk, mint rims etc

Nanolex, gtech, gyeon etc

Or pay for it to be done and save your self alot.of time/money.
