Cleaning magnesium wheels

[lali]

Anything out there thats good for these?

Ive got some D90's from a silver rose... Im more worried about whats bad for them really...

[diver944]

Don't worry unduly Lali. Though they are sometimes described as forged magnesium they are actually an alloy that has a small amount of magnesium in them. Clean as per any wheel.

Their design with very thin sokes does mean that brake dust tends to collect right behind the spoke - if you don't clean it off regularly it eats into the paint

I'd be surprised if they have any magnesium in them actually - outrageous if they describe them as "magnesium"

Lali - don't I know you from somewhere - did you once own an old 1.4 Supersport with a VVC engine?

No (well maybe a little) magnesium, these are anodised wheels.

Use detergent and spray them with Pledge when clean

[DBVALETING]

Once you have cleaned them , spray some zymol wheel barrier ( or other ) on them , they should just jet wash clean then without having to use wheel acid

[lali]

Pledge? really?

Rubystone.. you have me at a disadvantage... that is indeed me.. Where did we meet?

PLEDGE......
i'll have you know, I fritteded away a years supply of Vaseline last week, on a suggestion here,
pledge indeed

[cuneus]

Yes Pledge, try it you might like it

or you can waste your money on Zymol

I use fingertip applied driving for three months followed by a jet wash at Tesco...
