SRTurbo04 Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 What can I use to clean up these rims? Or know how I should go about cleaning it up? http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll162/04srturbo/IMG_20110621_130717.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littleguy Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 I like Meguiar's All Metal Wheel Polish. They also make them specifically for aluminum or chrome, but I'm not sure what that wheel is made of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ansonivan Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Gold spray paint, should come out with a great textured finish. Wheel acid, wipe it on, wait, spray off the filth. Repeat as needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We use it to clean dirty rims and oil stains on pavement. If you use it do not dilute but make sure you rinse the purple power off or it will eat the rim.

ross Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Those s10 wheels should have painted surfaces so I would say start with the least abrasive (no steel wool) and something that will not damage a painted surface. If you just want them to clean up a bit, either simple green or purple power and a brush. If you want to see if they can come back to near original finish, then try a quality wheel cleaner from a reputable detailing supplier. I have been more than impressed with Adam's Polishes products and their Green Wheel Cleaner is the bee's knees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRD2BDF Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Vote for simple green, that stuff is awesome and will clean anything off except ugly. Plus it's environmentally friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Use any of the all wheel cleaners that are available at a parts store and a toothbrush. Spray it on, let it dwell, scrub, rinse, repeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Sonax wheel cleaner. Best product, hands down. http://detailersdomain.com/carcareproducts/tirewheelcleaners/TheUltimateWheelCleaner.html Goes on neon green, turns blood red as it chemically bonds to the brake dust, then you just wash it off.

Buck531 Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Rub your dick on it Paul. Then the rim would be dirtier than you. Anyways.. just wash it and throw a power ball on it with some polish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
