Alloy wheel pitting

[Dan J]

cheers guys , will try the iron x paste, then get some proper wheel cleaner , like billberry pro and clay then use my billberry rim wax and hopefully that should remove the pitting and protect

The ironx paste is thicker than the spray so clings to the effected area better and has been designed for this exact situation.
To prevent this happening further, once you've got the rims completly clean and free from contamination,get them sealed well, if you want something that's durable and lasts get fk1000 p and layer it up. You will only need to tickle them after that to clean them

just to check do i apply the billberry wheel cleaner first or the iron x paste?

I'd just use the paste, if that does the job then you won't need the bilberry, just make sure the iron x has been completely rinsed off and don't let it dry on, then dry the wheels and wax or seal.

Clean your wheels as normal and get the bulk of the crap off, rinse well then apply your ironx paste to the effected areas and leave to dwell for stated time on the bottle( normally 5/10 mins should be enough) Aggitate with a small brush after or during it dwelling which will help.
Rinse off well and inspect.

Yeah good call, i thought the wheels were clean and you were just tackling the pitting, soz!

thanks again guys, will report back with results and pics!

[baggiemad]

after much scrubbing and 3 attempts with Iron X paste, i managed to shift the pitting 

I then clayed and used poorboys rim sealent and hopefully that will sort the job.

Really pleased with the results



The reason i had so much pitting on this wheel, is the rear caliper is sticking on , so need to free that off or i will not be happy removing all that pitting again!!
