Ahrite guys, just got my first-ever set of aftermarket rims. Went with Matte Black. So, how do I clean these puppies up?

Thanks.

Car soap and water would be a good start.......

If that doesn't work there are tons of aftermarket rim cleaners out there. Just make sure you read the label to ensure that they are safe for your rims.

or provide details as why soap and water didn't work and the type/description of stain that is left behind so we can better help you.

With any matte finish you just want to make sure you don't get wax on there.

Apperance/Cosmetic might also be able to help you on this one, they love to clean stuff.....

 

Thanks. Will try that out.

One more question.

I have a set of buddy club wheels, they come with buddy club stickers already stuck on one of the spokes. How do I remove them safely?

If it is a sticker that is meant to stay on the rim permantly then it may be tricky. Heat and scraping with a credit card sometimes works, WD 40 has been known to work sometimes also. Hard to say with out seeing the sticker in person. Other than that I do not know what will work and not damage the finish of the rim.

Try contacting "buddy club" and asking them, they may have a very good answer for you.

Good luck.

 

Good advice. I just sent them an email.
