polished rims and clay bar

[Mikey]

just wondering on how to clean up the polished rim on alloys??

and is clay bar good??

[ChrisJ]

Clay bars are the best thing to use to remove any bonded contaminents on the wheels i.e. tar.
Clean the whole wheel with a wheel cleaner.
Then polish the lip with some metal polish (autosol would be ideal).
Then seal the whole wheel with poorboys wheel sealant (use as many layers as you like).

cheers fella..great help!!!
ive got some wheel cleaner..ill get the rest tomoz!! and another question..sorry to be a pain lol...whats a good wax? for the car

[ChrisJ]

Poorboys natty paste blue is very good for blue cars i believe, never used it though.

i would avoid Wonder Wheels as it is very abrasive and could damage the chrome, i would just wash the wheel with a wash mit and the clay bar it then polish the chrome with Autosol, polish the rest of the rim with polish then sealant

[ChrisJ]

Yeah, good shout, wonder wheels is crap, there are better cleaners around.

Its not abrasive, its an acid. Its too strong to be using regually, but it can be used with care for really dirty wheels with baked on brake dust, but there are better / safe acid cleaners aroun.

If you use it make sure you rinse the wheel regually, and dont let the wonder wheels sit for any length of time on the wheel.

i stand corrected, cheers Mike

[Mikey]

cheers guys!! great help!

[barrett]

also, you want to use as gentle wheel cleaner as possible so as to not damage the finish.

i used wonder wheels on 6year old brake dust caked wheels i was refurbishing and it was great! but as said dont leave it sat too long lol

autosol is the best stuff to polish metal, and use a loose mop on a drill to make it shine up :y:

the best polish money can but is made for boats mate. go to a boat shop and buy the wax for the bottom of boats. that stuff is the nuts. when its dirty just wipe the car over and hey presto, all clean again. its expesive for the best stuff though.
