Wheel cleaner

Cheers again gents.

Will get all the goodies ordered.

Cant wait to see the wheels back to their former glory (But for the kerbed one which I'll need to give a little "spray".
 
Ordered all the stuff today so hopefully it finds its way here before the bank holiday weekend.

Hope to have the OZs back on before my trackday on the 9th.
 
Stuff will be here tomorrow (as long as someone is in to sign for it).

Hopefully get started on Saturday and finish on Sunday. Then once I get the car back on Tuesday night, they'll go straight on the car.
 
Bilberry and ironx are both really good, you'll be impressed!
Did you get wheel sealant?

I did indeed. All was delivered yesterday.

What order do I use the stuff? Iron X first then bilberry then sealant?
 
Just give them a good wash with water after using iron x as its pretty nasty/strong stuff.
 
Or try auto smarts tardis, I'd also use clay if you can before waxing.

Auto smarts smart wheels is also fantastic.

Autosmart smart wheels is great stuff, cheaper than billbery and just as good.

Also, if you struggle with either of the above products you can use wonder wheels. Everyone goes crazy when you mention the stuff but have a trawl through detailingworld and you'll see a lot of the guys on there do actually use it on very stubborn wheels, just make sure you thoroughly wash the wheels afterwards.
