I pull the wheels off the car, scrub them with soap and water, dry them off and then apply Turtle Wax Speed Shine about once per month. That gets them truly clean as new.
Wow, Dave, I thought I was the only one that analI pull the wheels off the car, scrub them with soap and water, dry them off and then apply Turtle Wax Speed Shine about once per month. That gets them truly clean as new.
Exactly, I recently sold my Triumph Speed Triple and it had a black rear wheel (single sidearm so you really noticed it). First time I used cleaner on it (just a light spray of 409) it almost destroyed the finish. I had to do some serious rubbing/buffing to get it back so I've been a bit leery of black wheels. Sounds like ours have a protective coat though?I use chemical guys diablo wheel cleaner. I like it. Watch out with the calipers. They?re anodized and some cleaners will destroy them.
All that effort and they're dirty again in a mile.I pull the wheels off the car, scrub them with soap and water, dry them off and then apply Turtle Wax Speed Shine about once per month. That gets them truly clean as new.
But it's a fun mile!All that effort and they're dirty again in a mile.![]()
Interesting question DT31...anyone?Has anyone considered ceramic coating, or even looked into it?
Griots has a wide variety of microfiber wheel cleaning brushes. I got some a few weeks ago but haven't used them yet so I can not give you any recommendations.Has anyone come up with any type of cleaning brush to work between spokes of wheel? Something soft and no scratch? Sorta like a soft bottle brush? Post pictures of what you use.![]()
I have recently had my the carbon wheels and calipers ceramic coated. Has made cleaning much easier with mild soap/water, build up of particles sticking to the calipers/wheels is definitely reduced.Has anyone considered ceramic coating, or even looked into it?
Check out Adam's Polishes wheel woolie and turbo stick. I've used both on my wheels and they do a good job. Both are made to get between and behind wheel spokes.Has anyone come up with any type of cleaning brush to work between spokes of wheel? Something soft and no scratch? Sorta like a soft bottle brush?
