Im getting tired of cleaning my gold Advan RG2 everytime I go out for a spin and its getting hard to clean those black stuff and brake dust off. I want my rim to be nothing, but GOLD color.
Any sugestion on what formula/brand I should use? Anyone out there felt the pain that I felt, let it all out...........

 

wax them

 

really?

spoiler and rim cleaner... make sure you mix as the directions tell you.... that stuff is strong. Its practically spray on, rinse off and walk away.


he was serious, they sell wheel wax, it just makes them easier to clean

 

I just picked up some DP wheel gel and it worked amazingly on my stock wheels (http://www.autogeek.net/dp370.html). As far as getting it to stop getting brake dust on it its not going to happen, but you can follow up the wheel gel with this, http://www.autogeek.net/dp-wheel-glaze.html, which will make any dust easier to remove and keep some from sticking to it. Also that wheel gel isn't a harsh cleaner, so it'll be nice to your wheels clear coat (if they are clear coated) and it noticed my wheels were shiner after I used it.

 

you've got nothing to complain about

I have Volk GT-Us

 

damn......... balla

 

i was thinking the same thing.... me too....

if id a known id spend an hour and half cleaning my wheels, id a skipped out on buying them lol. The outside holes suck lol

 

im going with the "paint the rims black" method so they dont look dirty as much haha

 

autopia.com is a mega detail site.

For the problem at hand since they arent 'burned' in grime the off the shelf meguiars wheel cleaner will foam the stuff off and leave a shine. Get a cheap brush to do in behind.

Cheers

 

careful with some of this brake cleaning stuff. It turned the rubber on my tires brown and did not come off (thankfully i got new tires recently).

 

i use the Meguires "hot rims all wheel cleaner" that comes in a purple bottle and the stuff works awsome. every few car washes when i feel up to it ill wax the wheels with "Wheel Wax" found at parts stores and that helps keep the brake dust off and keeps the wheels looking shiny

 

a high pressure cleaner makes light work of brake dust... not as good as a rub'n'scrub but about 10 times quicker

 

++1 i do the same

 

any degreaser works great for me. Also what brakes are you using? I got the new girodisc pads and they give off barely any dust and they really do have a nice bite to them
