Re: How do you keep your alloy wheels clean C70 2000

posted by  someone claiming to be Jim on  Fri Apr 13 02:43 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I like to use P21S for this. Seems to be the best thing around.

Two things though:

1.

Cleaning: Do it often. Brake dust builds up really quick and gets gritty and ground into the finish. I clean them, and the car, once a week; be thorough, clean the whole wheel, inside surfaces too.

If you don't have time to wax them, use Nev R Dull, a can of treated wadding, one can lasts 2 or 3 years, get it from any Mc Parts auto parts stores, tear off a small piece.

2.

Important also to dry the wheels thoroughly, especially chrome wheels, otherwise the wheels get pitted and rusty, don't ask me how I learned this.

Hope that helped.
