just cleaned my wheels today in the freezing cold weather not cos i wanted to, but because i had to...
ever so lately i have been getting serious brake dust bonding on my (recently) refurbed alloys, dont know if it is the crappy top coat and laquer the paint firm used but if i didnt act fast they would need completely refurbing again...yeah that were that bad!!
i jet washed my alloys down with fairly hot water, rinsed, washed with a small sponge, rinsed...i then sprayed a generous amount on each wheel of billberry safe wheel cleaner. left for 10 minutes then softly softly used the small sponge to try and break up the hard dust...thankfully the worst of it is on the front wheels.
rinsed again, but to my horror there are slight scratch marks left by the small sponge i used....used meguirars paint restorer, then carnuba wax (admittedly i should of used poorboys sealant), but on my next day off i will do it all again properly...
what can i say?...the wax got rid of the small scratches and to the non studying eye you may never know....i totally recommend this product if you have brake dust build up on your alloys or painted alloys...brilliant
i have no pics because it was so cold i could barely bend my fingers and anyway the dust was in between the spokes, but was hugely noticable if you were looking at them...
my billberry i purchased from http://www.prestigepolish.co.uk/
