Okay so I am obviously clueless about this. I've had my car for around two weeks and am trying to figure out how to get the alloys clean. Normal washing gets a bit off. Then I have a look after its dried and there still seems to be stuff there.
So I discover there is a cleaner specifically for wheels. Who knew.
Now I'm trying to figure out if the alloys are powder coated or sprayed as that makes a difference to what you can use. I've got the two tone roulette wheels if that makes a difference. There seems to be something sort of brown stuck to the silver bits.

Any suggestions? Does anyone know if these are powder coated?

Thanks

This is what you need.

Don't use anything acid based. It will ruin the finish, even if you rinse it straight off. Use something like Iron X, which is also really effective at getting rid of contaminants on bodywork paint work as well.

You need something like Iron X or Iron Out to remove the bonded contaminants, then a dedicated, non acidic wheel cleaner to maintain them. These will work a treat

Hi,
I find Bilt Hamber products very user friendly and they work.
Their wheel cleaner is the best I have used, not acidic which the guys are correct in advising you against.

Thank you all very much! That's all good and very helpful info.
It's funny how the more you read up on stuff the more confusing it gets

Just thought I'd say, I got the Autoglym Custom Wheel cleaner, as advised, and it's awesome. So easy to clean and so shiny ��

Thanks!

I always take the wheels off, clean, seal & wax
