Wheel Cleaning

[Charles_Harding]

Just tried a product that I haven't noticed before.

Turtle Wax 'Brake Dust Barrier'.

I srayed the stuff on, used a paper towel to work it in, then buffed it up with a clean piece of paper towel.

Got some VERY shiny wheels now.

Impressed!

I've just been using the Meguairs NXT shampoo on the wheels and very good results.

Hi Charles

I use colonite on my wheels and works a treat. No problem with sticking brake dust.

'tis only the wheels.

No damage, just SHINE

But I do use the Bounty Brand.

......and they've got lovely pictures on them nowadays.

If you use a decent cloth the brake dust dirt really gets into the fibres and then they need to be chucked, 'cos once Lady H. bunged 'em in the wash and my jeans come out with fresh stripes on them!

I use a microfibre cloth for the wheels and HAND WASH after use! Obviously washing is "womens work"

Hand Wash?

I've bought Lady H. a machine that avoids her the need to do that!

......because of the the low fuel consumption from Millie we are able to afford such luxuries!

I think whatever you do avoid using any of the chemical applications available.

Wonder Wheels claims may sound good but if it gets under the lacquer then what it does sort of rhymes with lacquer

[Charles_Harding]

I think that the worst stuff you can put on your weheels is that brake dust!

I don't reckon that does your wheels any good at all.

A litte carefully applied chemical application will obviously rid you of that problem I reckon.

The saucery is from Tesco's.

And at just 29 pence a month, that's real HP Sauce!

Lady H. still washes her hands tho'!
