Just wondering if anybody knows a good method for getting that permafunk sort of crap that builds up particularly on the front rims.. I haven't tried any of the "spray and sit on your ***" products yet.. Thought I'd poll my boys first

 

That "crap" is brake dust. It will stain the wheels if you dont clean them often.

I use Eagle One AtoZ All Wheel Cleaner. They say it's just a "spray on - hose off" product, but I have to scrub.

 

soap and water

 

Yeah, not really Einstein

 

Simply Green works somewhat. You still have to scrub some.

 

Bleche White Wheel and Rim cleaner.. works well with my white rims

 

I use AtoZ too. Works well. If you have a lot of crap though you'll ahve to keep working at it. Rim cleaner has a cumulative effect. I ahve real bad spots of crap right now, but they get better each time i clean the car. Just keep at it. Oh and you need to scrub...definitely. My dad bought a roundish toilet brush and that **** works PERFECTLY on our rims...

 

hahaha! i should get a toilet brush thing too! the product is great, my SE rims sparkle, but scrubbing makes all the difference!

Brillo Pads, my man, brillo pads....not the regular ones. "light duty" won't scratch the $#%@ out of your rims, but it cleans mine up just fine. 99 SE Limited.

 

get a bucket of water and some soap ...rag or whatever you use to scrub ...then for detail work get out an old toothbrush medium to hard ..

 

i lil elbow grease and maybe fine sand paper....

 

The best things Ive seen to clean that off of there is brake degreaser. Also known as Brakleen. Spray some on a clean rag and a little on the rims and let it soak for a sec, then whipe it right off.

 

Just a good wheel cleaner, a brush (toilet brush works just fine), water and some elbow grease works great
