wheel cleaning

[vw-bob]

have any of you found a easier way to cleaning a set of bbs ra's than sitting there with a cloth and getting an aching finger? there must be an easier way!!!

I used to use a big old brush I found in the garage, with tescos wheel cleaner when I had RAs

I use  an alloy wheel spray and work it in with a paint brush - you can get in all the nooks and crannies and work it all in pretty well. Then just rinse off with loads of water.

However, I do normally end up giving them a good rub with a cloth afterwards to make sure I haven't missed anything!!! Not sure my advice has helped really!!!

cheers for the help, will have to have a go tomorrow, its the only bit of the car that i havnt done today. given it a auto-glym polish and hoovered out the inside. i think its cleaner than when i got it    but want it to look good for brands

if its  a daily driver - sell the bbs and buy something easier to clean 

I had RMs for a few months, the looked the dogs when clean, but that was only the once as it was too much bother to clean them!

yeh its a daily driver, used to have the standard steels on it, but got the bbs' reasonably cheap. i like the look of them, but they are just a nightmare to keep clean

have you applied a wheel sealant to them? Something like Poorboys Wheel Sealant will help keep the brake dust to a minimum and make them far easier to clean

Poorboys is the way forward

totally agre, brake dust barrier from turtle way is suprisingally good, as long as you clean and use it regular...ie once a week or so, and you really need a jet washer and some alloy cleaner, so much easier.
