My allys are looking a bit grim due to brake dust marks.Can anyone recommend me a cleaner that really works well.
Cheers all.
wonder wheels via anyone you know with a costco card
IronX, and then soapy wash.
Wonder wheels from Costco here.
It works wonders on wheels...
Autosmart Ali shine, you can get it on ebay in sensible quantities.
I use Billsberry cleaner, but if you don't do it often, it may not remove baked on brake dust etc
Brick acid watered down 50/50
Ooo.I have a tub of brick acid. 😀
Wonder wheels is good stuff but very aggressive and corrosive so you need to watch it. It took the lacquer off my brake calipers and started to pit some areas of the wheels after a few applications. I think it's probably best used occasionally on stubborn brake dust. For regular use I started to use a non-corrosive foam product from Halfords that was less aggressive, it takes a bit of scrubbing and maybe a couple of applications but with just as good results.
Clean em once with wonder wheels (or pay for a valet*) and keep on top of em. If you clean em once a week (or once per tank of fuel) you shouldn't need anything more than soap n water.
* I'd recommend a valet as your car will come back awesomely clean and you could have spent the day doing something fun instead
as the last two people have said, wonder wheels and then just keep on top of it in between even if you just clean the wheels and not the whole car to save time. It is very corrosive so not a good idea to put it on every week etc. Perhaps at the start and end of seasons and keep it up inbetween
Do not use wonderwheels it will wreck your wheels after a few uses.
Bilberry wheel cleaner is way betterer.
Erm..... mucoff and a brush?
Muc-off here too. Did mine yesterday. 06 plate and the wheels look freshly minted.
Bilberry wheel cleaner.
+1 brick acid
I use turtle wax car shampoo and water when I wash the car - every Sunday morning.
Works a treat.
Iron X seems to be the stuff.Don't think i'll bother with the brick acid. 😉
iolo.Don't think you get the jist of this
IronX - great stuff but stinks! I had a calliper binding and dumped a full set of pads onto my rim over the duration of a trip from Berks to Newcastle. 15 mins with ironx and a brush and good as new!
