Re: How do i clean my rims

I use the same soapy water I use on the car body. I use Zaino wash but any good body wash will do. Rinse off real well and chamois dry. After that I polish (Z-5 or Z-2) and buff to a nice shine. Waxing them well allows for easy cleaning when you need to clean off all the dust from the brakes.
Good luck with your new wheels.........[img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: How do i clean my rims

I just use a sponge with soapy water. I think it's most effective, rather than using brushes that would scratch the rims. GSM's waxing the rims method is a great tip as well.


It's still a G thang!!

QuikCrete is better than plaster. [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Of course, QuikCrete does increase your rotational, unsprung weight if you apply it to the rims... definately would keep dust (or anything else, for that matter) from getting to the rims. [ insert evil smiley here ]
