I have white ITR wheels on my 4th gen prelude, and they are so dirty!! i know i need some new pads that produce less brake dust, but is there a good solution that just cuts through the **** like a hot knife throug butter? I mean, the inside of them, are black....they are no longer white...and I hate it that its so hard to keep white rims clean. any suggestions?

 

Dupont Teflon wheel cleaner is the ****. You don't even have to scrub, as long as it's only brake dust on the wheels. It will remove grease and tar, but some 'bow grease is required. I have white painted wheels to boot.

I have never seen a product work like this one does and, no, I do not work for Dupont.

do u just take your wheels off...spray on, spry off?? a little scrubbing?

soap and water just doesnt cut it for me...

what pads creat the least amount of dust?

 

I like to use any kind of spray cleaner, hose the wheels off, and wipe em down with a microfiber cloth while they are still damp. If they are really bad hit them with some 3M swirl/cratch remover (rubbing compound). That stuff works on anything from paint to wheels, plastic, windows etc.

 

Always worked for me.

 

thanks for the responses guys...

but what about some pads that cuase less dust?

 

alot of car wash place use acid bas liquid to clean the rims

 

don't use acid on the wheels Simple Green full strength works great. Repeat 3 or 4 times per wheel if they are really bad. Clay bar. Use a "paint cleaner" and a good wheel 'wax'. After you do all of that just put some new wheels on the car and you'll always see clean, white wheels

 

i've used the wheel cleaner made by BMW and available in the dealerships. it works well and from what i know, doesn't have any acid in it

 

if the wheels are real bad i use the acid for rough allow wheels... to clean them the first time.... jsut dont let it set there long... and the buy new pads.. and wash them on the regular with carwash and a old car mit

 

Simple green and the pressure wash them and that usually takes care of it. Also waxing your wheel will help to get that dirty stuff off easier!

Hell Ya for simple green!! My wheels have a polished lip and look like **** after a while. Simple green makes them look brand new!!
