Bilberry Wheel Cleaner

I bought this Autoglym wheel care kit

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=400029266578

used it first time yesterday... tis very good :y: still had to use a bit of the good old elbow grease tho

bad thing about it is that you can now see my kurbing from my poor parking :(

another vote for bilberry

this stuff is the best you can use!

think ill have to get me some of this bilberry stuff then :y:

Currently using megs wheel brightner and works fantastic but gonna move onto bilberry next, tbh bilberry is very similar to megs imo

ones acid based pred ;)

But if you get all the suds etc off it is fine, poorboys wheel wax doesnt seem to strip with megs either

Bilberry ftw :y: it's the best i've tried most!! lol

Yep valet pro bilberry gets my vote aswel, its top top stuff

Simoz Alloy Wheel cleaner + Break dust protector = RUBBISH!
 

Got my new alloys on Monday, there fitted but they need a good clean (Wich i wish i did before fitting them).

I went to halfords to get 3 for 2 on cleaning products. I need a reply to my other thread ASAP as i was ready to go (Other Thread) but i got impatent and went. I got simoz stuff. Herd about it being a popular, good produt.

Followed the directions and it didn't even touch my wheels. Sill had tar and road film all over them. Warm water and suds did the job along with some engine cleaner.

Now i'm going to have to take them off again to clean the inside's of them. Or i'll refurb them :S

(Pics + progress thread soon)

Allo wheels covered in tar and break dust. What do i do?
 

Ispent about half hour on each wheel today with a tooth brush and some engine cleaner to get the tar off. Some of it wont budge. is there a trade tip anyone could give me how to easily remove the tar?

i was thinking a hair dryer to melt the tar and brush it off with a old tooth brush. Something not to corse?

have you actually tried a tar remover? lol

Get some poorboys wheel sealant from www.polishedbliss.com
You will only ever need shampoo and water to clean them up after you have applied a couple of layers. It lasts months and protects the wheels.

I had my alloys on (polished lip) during the winter with the grit and salt and as long as you wash them off regularly, you will never have to use a harsh wheel cleaner that can quite frankly take the finish off your rims

Poorboys wheel sealant will prevent you from being in this situation.
They use to be one here alot, and I highly recommend them:

get bilberry wheel cleaner from cyc.

once they are cleaned and all marks are removed, apply a wheel sealant to stop the crap sticking to the wheel.

bilberry wheel cleaner, spray on, alloy to soak in for a few minutes and wash off

good man 180

Tar remover didn't do a thing to it. I found wihite spirits do a better job!

I'll have to invest in some of this stuff.

Thanks

Apply bilberry using spray (diluted imo)

Allow to soak for 5 mins, then agitate the solution using a wet wheel brush to remove more stubborn dirt.

Rinse off

Job done! :)

And this will get off the tar thats seems stuck on there?

wash them first with the pressure washer, then use two bucket method like you do on the paint, apply billberry wheel cleaner, dilute it to your needs light soiled or heavy soiled leave for 2 to 3 minutes to soak in then agitate with a wheel brush, if that doesn't shift the dirt try tar remover or clay bar that should get rid of it, all these methods should work as it works for me.

If it doesnt I will be very surprised, I would start with diluted and then allow to soak rinse inspect what dirt is left and repeat however agiatate the solution with a brush.

Tar - Could always clay it?
