Re: Wheel cleaning?
There is, of course, a simple preventative measure to stop all this.
Soap and water - one a week. Hardly back breaking work/effort. |

I'm having trouble with the ZZR14's front wheel. The ground in brake dust and stuff is so ingrained I just can't shift it....with ANYTHING! The wheel looks absolutely horrendous! Beautiful Marchesini wheels under there somewhere.  I haven't yet used this under the kitchen sink  The daft thing is, we had the tyres replaced a couple of months back, I should have done them then. Didn't even need any weights put on them either, for all the crud that's sat on them, they're absolutely perfect

Wheel cleaning?
A spray bottle of car "alloy" wheel cleaner - very cheap in Lidl from time to time! I said "alloy" because they are all painted anyway.

Re: Wheel cleaning?
I've always used Wonder Wheels on my Impreza. I drive it hard and only wash it once a year in the spring so the alloy wheels are caked with burnt in brake dust and road crap. Wonder Wheels shifts the lot. £9.99 from Wilcos.
