Cleaning Tip

After trying a few different so called "Spray and Rinse" rim cleaners and finding they were crapola I resorted to the sponge and soap method. Whilst this works fine it is a bit fiddly given the type of rim (Fushion).

With the car not having a clean for three weeks the rims were black solid with brake dust so I gave Meguires "Hot Rims" a go.

Spray on, leave for 15 secs and hose off and you have instant bright shiny rims without a spot of brakedust remaining.

I'm sure this is old news for some however for those that have yet to discover this miraculous product and suffer from dreaded brakedust (premium brakes) give it a go. :crybaby:

If you're not happy with the results take it back to where you bought it from and tell them I said to give you your money back.

Nice work

How much was it?

Also if you want some pads which have less dust, Hightek Brakes in Melbourne have EBC greens for $155 for a set of fronts... their number is (03) 9553 1160

I have 2 enjo mits...1 for car and 1 for wheels. Best thing on the planet and you dont need anthing except water :spoton: good for car and good for environment :spoton:

I wash it down with mit then wipe off with chamois then wipe over with rag. apply tyre shine ($3 a can from supercheap...best on planet also) then wipe over tyres..

I've found Hot Rims to be a great product, I used it after my Dad recommended it too me. Last time it was about $15-16. Should get a few good cleans out of a bottle.

Some of the rim cleaners that actually work well are poisonous and very dangerous to breathe in or touch with your skin.

Nothing beats a normal sponge .

You're probably right, but hey nothing like taking risks and living life on a razors edge. :laughing:

I use "Shift-It" to get the brake dust off.. Spray on and sponge off.

The trick with rims is to ensure they are cool when you wash them otherwise the :roflmbo: just bakes on.
