Cleaning OEM 19"s
Hey guys, i am currently in the process of cleaning my rays forged 19" wheels. The wheels are in excellent condition other then the fact that on the inside, it looks like there is a lot of brake dust that has settled on the rim....almost looks as if someone sprayed paint from the outside of the rim. The outside of the rim is completely fine.
I decided to try and see what i could do if i used a little scrubber from Mr. Clean. It is a lightweight plastic type scrubber, the type you might use in the kitchen. i thought the inside of the wheels were powder coated so i figured it might be fine. i tried it out and it worked, but i had to do some more intense scrubbing then i thought.
Currently i am just using meguiars gold class carwash. i would use a wheel cleaner but i don't have one, and i honestly don't think that a wheel cleaner would get rid of this stuff
Anyways, so my question is, is it damaging my wheels to scrub? Is there a protective coating placed on the inside of the rim? i am only scrubbing the inside of the wheel, not the outside that shows.
Also, can i wax my rim with just a normal wax?
