Wheel Cleaning Question

[nads1_uk]

At the weekend I washed both mine and the mrs' cars.  After using bilberry - cannot remember the dilution ratio but prob about 1:10 I was left with clean wheels except a few black spots that were left.  Anybody got any recommendations on what will shift them?  Do I just use neat bilberry or something else?

Try the bilberry with a 1:1 solution

Also what brush are you using?

[nads1_uk]

The Autoglym wheeln brush

[darkside]

That brush should be ok, try the 1:1 solution a couple times, should get rid of the black spots

[nads1_uk]

Cheers I'll give that a try.

If it's tar spots that won't shift try some fine clay bar

As above, claybar the wheels or use something like autoglym tar remover sparingly.

Once the wheels are clean, use a wheel sealant or wax to help make it easier to keep them clean next time.

Never tried claying so I'll give the tar remover a go!

Would oven pride do any good cause it works wonders getting our oven looking sparkly?

I am not keen on the AG brush as the bristles are very tough.
Sometimes a wheel cleaner with a bit of bite is required a lot of folks and forums go when you mention strong wheel cleaners but used properly they are effective and good addition to your kit imo.

Is there a brush and/or a product you would recommend?

Get yourself a set of envy detailing brushes from envy via their site or ebay.

Sounds like tar spots, autosmart tardis is what you need in this case
