I got some new (Well Used) Alloys for my Car. I got some Fox 3 Multispoke Alloys for the prime sum of £95 but they were in need off a good clean.

This is my first time cleaning wheels and also my first time posting in the showroom.

Wheel 1:

Firstly it started off like this

Then I applied some Bilberry and agitated with Meguiars Brush and an Envy Brush

Which left me with this:

So I clayed the Wheels (First time using clay aswell) And this was what was left after 1 half off the wheel:

Which left me with this:

1 Wheel done, but now I look at it, I'm not that happy as I didn't get all the dirt off the spokes.

Here it is compared to another off my wheels

Good stuff mate

im definately getting some bilberry next time, megs wheel brightner is good bud i just liek that bilberry is less acidic but just as effective :y:

get some wheel wax onto them, makes it easier to clean next time ;)

Funds are very very low. I have to buy 2 new Tyres and Tax so I can't afford the wax, but I highly reccomend Bilberry, just lifts off so easily.
