Wow - Gary's wheeel cleaner stuff works a treat !!

Very very good and with the brush aswell, you dont need to even take the wheels off to get the hard to reach bits

Thanks Gary.

Which brush mate?

Dont really like the idea of a brush, i wish they'd make a microfibre pad on a stick to do the same job lol

. meguiars i think it was

It was int he group buy section.

Wheel Cleaner spray is a citric acid based solution - very impressed :notworthy:

Wouldnt you rather seal the wheels with something like Poorboys wheel sealant and just wipe the brake dust off (as nothing sticks once you seal them) than use acid everytime mate?

It is an alkaline solution not acid IIRC and the brush does no damage at all. Clean my teeth with it all the time

(Joking by the way)

Glad you like it Dunk

For the record the Chemical Guy's wheel cleaner isn't acid, its a very strong detergent and very slightly alkaline, totally wheel safe and when cut 3:1 with water even safer.

I have used this cleaner on all sorts of rims (porsche split, Lambo splits and many many more) never having a prob.

The brush is a Meguires spoke brush and again totally wheel safe, it doesn't mark, scratch or do anything to wheels, so no worries there:)

On sealant, yes a coat or two would help protect rims, the poorboy's mentioned is a good one, but not the only one out there, other options are Klasse SG sealant, Rim Wax and Chemical Guy's new Wheel Guard, I have all and have used then all too, so far in my testing the Poorboys is a close 2nd, but i'll leave it there

Any wheel sealant won't stop brake dust sticking it just helps to reduce it happening so quickly, while also enhancing the look and finish.

The brush is great - unlike my scouring pad that i used - that removed quite abit a paint
