Cleaning Alloys on Gen 1 997 turbo

[Skrambles]

The alloys on my turbo may need to be cleaned with something other than car shampoo - so far I haven't needed anything stronger than that. I don't want to use something that damages the alloys or any coating on them - any recommendations? Has anyone used P21S Gel or Bilberrys on their Gen 1 turbo alloys?

Ive always found Wonder Wheels really good. I think its quite strong though, so I always wash thoruoghly with a good shampoo straight after.

When I brought mine I took off all the wheels and t-cut and polished them, they came up like new. They seem to clean easier now with a coat of polish on them.

I use Bilberry on my 987 Carrera wheels. I dilute it 3:1 for tough soiling, 5:1 for moderate and 10:1 for light. As I generally tend to wash the car & wheels once a week I find that 10:1 works just fine. Can't say that I've noticed any degradation in the finish or it attacking the centre caps. I don't leave it to dwell too long and hose off/sponge clean. Been using it for nearly 4 years.

Iron-x (or Wolf Deironizer) and then Tardis are the only way to properly decontaminate a wheel without long term damage. And then apply a sealant which mean shampoo will be enough every time.

Thanks for the info
