max power Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Got a little chain lube residue on my rear rim which is attracting dirt like Jagr to PBR.What do you use to remove it?I am about to use kerosene, but wanted to make sure there weren't any horror stories out there first.

2talltim Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I've always used kerosene, but yea try to keep it off the tires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 The kerosene would be on a rag. I'm just concerned about fuckin up the finish.A platinum might work, its like kerosene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conn-e-rot Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I always use kerosene if its gets on tires I use dawn dish soap to remove it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Brakewash, spray on a rag and wipe it right off - dries in seconds and wont leave any oils on your tire. Its never hurt the finish on my wheels, but I also use a quick detailer on the wheel afterwards to keep shit from sticking as often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmutt Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Do you mean brake parts cleaner?Yes sir, just be quick about it - I wouldnt let it soak on the wheel and wont hurt to shoot it with some sort of detailer to protect the finish afterwardsOh, and all I've ever used was the "non chlorinated" so I dont know what the chlorinated formula would do to paint or powdercoat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRMN8TR Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Turtle wax Ice. Nothing else. Its actually a "wax" of sorts so its safe on all your wheel finishes but it has properties like goo b gone. And when your done no need to put anything else on, your polishing while you clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I have a 3/4 full can of WD that, of course, has no pressure in it. Might drill a hole in it so I can pour it on a rag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
