Problem found

[Mark Type R]

Ive been trying to clean my wheels and ive been having real trouble. Well i cleaned them today and used a toothbrush until they were clean as i could get them.
I have patches on the wheel that are rough and the dirt is sticking to it like glue.
Is it new or refurb alloy time?

Hot break dust I belive my friend.

Happens to everyone. Washing the wheels once a week properly and then giving them a coat of protective wax is the only way to keep it a minimum I believe.

Clay will remove the brake dust.

Good news then, i thought it was fooked!

Looks like ive been stopped from cleaning my car due to rain but i'll have a go with some clay when i can.

These wheels dont seem as protected as other car alloys?

Thanks for the heads up peeps

£45.00 per wheel is trade price but what i can offer is the collection of all 4 wheels by dhl, full refurb in one of the standard metallic silvers, plus redelivery again by dhl for just £200.00

perfect if you have a spare set of wheels or steelies or you can be without your car a few days!!
