Has anyone at any time purchased a product that helps to clean Alloy Car Wheels? If so the name of it and where available would be handy. Tried elbow grease and soap and water but it is a little to grimed in.
Try a pressure washer Ian

Hi Robert. Never used a pressure washer. Would the ones in the garage get it off do you think????
BUMP
You can but try Ian, and please explain BUMP after posting, if it is a secret I will be over on the 10th for 9 days and you can whisper it in my ear, or get Carol to do it. xx
More info please James, where are you ?
Dave,
We are at present opposite the market place in the old ferretaria/Gym, however we will be moving to bigger more suitable premises soon.
Thanks James
And no a pressure washer will not work, the brake dust has a chemical reaction with alloy wheels and unless cleaned with the right chemicals, it eats in to the coating on the wheels and can cause damage to the surface of the wheel. The only Household chemical that has some success is Oven cleaner but remember it is highly caustic, not nice to work with, expensive etc etc...
Thanks for the info James, not everyone one is so forthcoming.
Just had mine valeted and waxed and they did a great job! Really feels new (considering its not been done professionally for 5 years!!). James did say next time will charge me double if I wait another 5 years! No really, its worth every penny of it! You could not buy the materials for 25 to do it yourself!
Hi James. If I use oven cleaner will it damage the actual tyres at all?
Not if you don't get any on the tyres Ian !
Had both my cars done earlier in the year great jobs good value, only criticism, cars didn't go any faster.
