how do you clean yours?
« on: 06 April 2004, 09:40 »
BBS RAs standard on some mk2s.

i murder my hands everytime I clean and polish them, getting into all the sections to get the brake dust out and then put polish on and wipe off, my f**kin knuckles are raw....

any handy tips or secret weapons anyone's using to make em sparkle with less effort/pain? :-\

You can use wonder wheels which is excellent but very expensive.

I use an acid based patio cleaner - just brush on and hose off. It's really just the same as wonder wheels and only costs a fraction of the price. You'll get it at Focus, B&Q etc.
