Wheel detailing...chrome lip...steaming...???
Posted: Fri Nov 09, 2012 4:40 pm
I have struggled to really get my wheels as clean as I would like since I got them! I have been tempted to replace them with 5 spokes for ease!
I'm not going up yet tho!
I was looking for advice and tips on how I can minimise my effort and maximise my cleanliness!
I have tried Autoglym shampoo, and a few wheel specific cleaners and brushes but no real joy!
I saw on Wheeler Dealers that Ed steam cleaned some Merc wheels, which got me thinking...
I've only been using a normal hose, and it doesn't cut it. Saw halfords sell a steam cleaner and was debating investing in that..
Has anyone got any advice or best practices??
I currently use shampoo and a wheel brush, and a microfiber mitt, and hose off. The tyre spray I have is useless too tbh! I did Autoglym my chrome lip and have used ACF to seal them too.
