Thread: Help with alloys!! Please?? :):):):

I have just bought and 52 plate b6 and the alloys have NEVER been cleaned!!! ((( got most of the brake dust off but it has stained a light yellow colour? does anyone know a good prduct to take this off? any help please?

THANKS IN ADVANCE

Refurb. Not sure there's anything you can do?

can you get some pics up may just need a good wheel cleaner also what did you use to remove the brake dust?

cartec wheel cleaner, AS tardis and an iron remover should fix it.

Wolf's Chemicals' Decon Gel will sort this.

Pressure wash, spray this on, agitate it with a soft brush then leave the product on the wheels for 30mins or so before pressure washing off.

Sorted for £10.

It's also on special offer: Wolf's Chemicals Decon Gel (Deironizer) | Non-Acidic Intensive Iron Remover

cheers for that link john just got 1l of it and some free cloths!!. i dont have a pressure washer so do i just aggitate and rinse off before it dries????

Should be fine to leave it to dry then hose it off. The longer you leave it (up to a point) the more effective it'll be.

If it's a bit sticky to come off, just spray a very slight mist of extra product on, agitate with a brush an then rinse immediately.

cheers

Obviously this is the better choice, but unfortunatley my girlfriend has my pockets for the time being! : i have managed to get the wheels clean and sparkly with 2hours of hard graft, brasso (awesome tar-remover) and alloy cleaner which has acid in it. How do i get the pics on here?
