Re: wheel cleaner

Re: wheel cleaner
cool, but does SG worked on painted wheels as well? The outer spokes are silver, the inner wells are painted black. Just want to make sure I don't use something, then poof, off comes the paint.

Re: wheel cleaner
I would have no hesitations for putting simple green on those rims. I've used a lot harder chemicals on rims, and even bodies of cars, without any reservations.

Re: wheel cleaner
been using SG for years, I even spray it on the road/grime build up around the wheel wells/paint before washing my car, makes it so much easier to wash the grime off.
just used it yesterday on the wheels I bought off you.

Re: wheel cleaner
Maybe try to use something a lil softer than a toilet brush.

you'd be amazed at what a bar of Ivory soap and a soft brush will do. - BC

Re: wheel cleaner
You really shouldn't need more than car wash if you are washing them on a regular basis. Especially if you keep them waxed.

Re: wheel cleaner
was at auto zone the other day and was recommended this product seeing that I was told that Wesley's Bleche White was not to be used near my wheels because of the chemicals they utilize.

tried it this evening, looks like it's cleans really good and leaves somewhat of a nice shine.
