    Alloy Cleaner

    me boss went to costco and bought some liquid where you paint it on the alloy... let it settle and wash it off,

    previously his car hadnt been cleaned in years and was a minger

    now his alloys are shiny again

    when i find out what he used i will let you know but he said it wasnt expensive.

    I used Wonder Wheels from Halfrauds on my old MR2 and it worked great. And the were quite a state.

    Doesn't need scrubbing, just kinda painted on like you guys said.

    IRC most alloy wheel cleaners are made from dilute hydrochloric acid, so dont get on yourself or your clothes!

    Anyone got a tip for removing copergrease from rims, nothing seems to shift it!!
    No longer empty and frantic...

    Have you tried hot water and fairy liquid? Failing that an engine de-gunker should work
