KillaX 7 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 (edited) Maybe I'm being a little picky over this but... What do you guys use to clean the rims? I just have the basic generic ones and I noticed it looks like my car has a lot of tan-brown dirt on the wheels. Freshly after a carwash everything looks great and the wheels look like they never got washed. I attempted to lightly use a power-washer ( not sure what they have on these wheels ) and it did nothing. Someone told me WD-40. Which worked, with a lot of scrubbing. So before I go crazy and work on the wheels for hours. Do they make a chemical you just spray on and let it sit/do the work, then power-wash it off? I'm normally not super fussy about the looks of a car, but I rather not have a freshly washed car with very dirty looking rims. Is it break dust? I've seen people use chemicals that turn red when reacting to break-dust and power washes off, but I didnt want to just try stuff and risk more damage..

bluer101 241 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 You could try the cleaner CLR. But try a very small area first, like a small dab. It's an iron/rust remover. Just make sure it does not damage anything. Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.tozzi 66 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Remove them, wash with dish soap, wax them with a paste wax and put them back on. Dish soap rremoves almost everything, and the wax will keep the dirt from sticking to the wheels. Link to post Share on other sites
