View Full Version : Tyre Dressing
I use armour all and it looks the muts nuts, BUT... after a little experiment I found that whatever you use it will always attract more break dust onto your alloys.
The dust sticks like shite to a carpet.

Is this the foam stuff?
works well on the tyres.... but yep the dust sticks... Washed off easily on mine though.

The Zymol stuff i got to do my wheels is great, you hav ethe spray first that foams up when water hits it and cleans all the ground in brake dust, or use wonder wheels thats great too.
BUt the Zymol comes with an Alloy glaze to go on after you've cleaned em.
Once youve treated the wheels with this stuff, the brake dust glides off next time you rinse them, just repeat the process each time you wash it.

Im a great fan of wonder wheels tyre dressing as well, you only need a small amount so a bottle usually lasts me about 6 months - 1 year, and thats cleaning them at least once a week ( sad I know :rolleyes: ). Ive found the best stuff for shifting brake dust off the alloys is Autoglym Clean Wheels and a tooth brush, smells like shite ( well acid ) but brings the alloys up a treat :D
