Ordered some Meguiar stuff, cheers for advice. Wheels are white and need a really good clean to get looking good, any advice on wheel cleaner? need something heavy duty but won't ruin the wheels or tyres etc......

Wheel cleaner eh...... The best i've found is fairy washing up liquid.... awesome and cheap, been using it for years....

Nooooooooooooooo!!!!! You're not using it on the bodywork too are you?

[stum450n]

NO! Just on the wheels mate!!!!! Strictly only Zymol on the bodywork, or that cheapo but effective blueice when i can't be bothered

For the brake dust, i've not found better

Phewwww!

Nooooooooooooooo!!!!! You're not using it on the bodywork too are you?

For years my next door neighbour used Mr Sheen spray polish to polish her BMW after she cleaned it with fairy liquid and hot water

So dont knock it

i use washing up liquid on mine some times...gets all the grease of and as andy says dont knock it.....

thats what i used before putting the gloss finish on gets all tree sap and dirt off

[hawkins]

Thought washing up liquid was a big NO NO, well on bodywork anyway

[gc8-r]

well it is....!

any shampoo is bad for the body,but it does remove the traffic film(before anyone says tfr)its less harmfull than some products

water is the best.

but just needed to remove the film on it.

wont do it again unless i need to give it the full works

1 paint renovator,2 polish *2,3 gloss protection

should'nt even use a sponge as will create swirl marks(not on white,so dont worry)
