Alloys Choice Close up of the std 17" wheel

Pottsy · 16th April 2006, 13:13

Nice looking, came with Michelin Pilot Sports, drove better than the 18" on the dealer demo (hard ride and poor directional control on a bumpy road). Also extremely easy to clean!

Talking of cleaning... any recommendations for them please?
I've been using AutoGlym stuff for my bodywork shampoo and the alloy spray on cleaner.

Is there anytrhing that I can just spray on and walk away?

Soapy water, chemical will ruin if used too often.

Bi-carbonate of soda and warm water. Spray it on wait a bit then wipe with a cloth. Cuts right through brake dust and no danger of any damage to the alloy.

Works a charm and is cheap.
