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?

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.

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!
