Dirty Alloy wheels

[minituck04]

you can pick that stuff up at autozone or oriellys. or walmart for that matter. **** getting it shipped. just go to the store. and for 10.80 it would still be better than 2 simple greens. ftw

****...i didn't think of picking it up...oh well. Saves me gas

I use just regular $5 wheel cleaner. Whatever brand is a good price, usually mequires though since i use there products for everything else. It should do the trick.

If you can't get it off still, take the wheels off and really get to every part of it. Do it accouple times. Usually it works great, even on wheels that are covered in brake dust.

Ok....so i did it 2 times on one wheel. This is what remained (and what i was trying to get off too)

Yeah, the clear coat is ruined. The only problem you will have when you repaint is you will loose the "machined" finish on them.

just paint em a different color. prime opportunity for a mod......gunmetal, black, or silver would be some good color choices.

How bad of an idea would it be to paint my calipers?
