what would be the best way and product to clean these i havent got a massive budget thanks
-
product: bilberry wheel cleaner available from waxamomo.co.uk, pm waxamomo on here and chris will sort you out :wink:
how to clean them effectivly: give the wheels a rinse first with the pressure waher(if you have one) if not a hose or chuck some water over them to remove any loose crap etc,
spray each wheel face including the outer edge of the tyre,also try and get some chemical on the inside of the rims just behind the face and allow to soak for five or so minutes(do not allow the chemical to dry onto the rim) go back to your first rim you sprayed and aggitate with a wheel brush (repeat all the way round) give each wheel another lite mist of chemical allow to soak for a few more mins then wash off well and allow to dry, then apply some good wax to protect them as this will minimallise break dust bonding to them in the future and make them much easier to keep clean :wink:

quality post there thanks very much

Erm, as Dan says :wink:
Excellent post from Dan.
Something along the lines of Poorboy's Wheel Sealant, Rimwax, or Jetseal 109 would be perfect for sealing your alloys.

I use my Karsher to zap the crap off them, Dodo Juice Mellow Yellow to clean them, Dodo Juice Supernatural Polish to buff them then 2 coats of Jetseal 109 to seal them and my alloys looks fab. Obviously when it comes to washing the car again, because of the jetseal sealant I only need a quick zap with the Karsher and for really dirty wheels only a quick wash with the Mellow Yellow.
