jordak Member 1,226 Member For: 20y 7m 28d Posted 17/11/06 02:22 AM Share Posted 17/11/06 02:22 AM 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. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time it was about $15-16. Should get a few good cleans out of a bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spray on and sponge off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
