Cleaning My Rims

[CanaryGT]

I have White Powder Coated Rims on my car and Im not sure what the best way to get all of the baked on brake dust off. Any suggestions?

- Clean with CG Diablo.
- Claybar the wheels to remove anything else stuck to the wheel.
- Give the wheel a light polish by hand with some finishing Polish and a MF towel
- Wax the wheels with your favorite wax

It kinda is..... But alot of people dont realize that actually need to put some pressure on the Claybar.... I put a good amount of pressure on the claybar to remove the stuck contamination.

You could have said that's about all I need to know and you suggest that I apply a good amount of pressure. I appreciate your maturity.

You could have just Read the Stickies and watched Both the videos Placed at the Top of the forum by someone who knows what they are talking about.....

I'm actually getting prepared to do my first claybar/wax to my stang this Saturday granted i don't get called into work and SRT's threads/stickies are great help, He may not have the fastest car, but dang he knows how to make it looks stunning. I don't have money to claybar the wheels, unless I have some left over, mine are BAD with road crap on them. Daily driven mustang in rain, mud, dirt and even the rare May snow(Canada...)= very VERY dirty wheels .

 

[Cox98Gt]

you will run out of liquid to use with the clay before the clay, and even the 20 dollar thing of maguires works pretty well. that is what i have used.

 

[Rice_slayer]

The mequires stuff is the best I can get here that I have found, I could ask the detail guys at work if they could sell me some stuff at employee price .
