Whuttup guys! i was interested in knowing how you guys maintain and clean your sw388's? let us in on your secrets guys. we all know the rarity of these rims and the upkeep of them is just as important as owning them

 

nothing? LoL. i thought this would be a nice thread to start....

 

Soap and water and soft bristle brush. It's a lot easier to consistently keep wheels clean (weekly) then letting it go to crap and trying to clean all the brake dust/grease/dirt that accumulated over time.

 

i got a buddy that cleans his with wd-40. is it ok to clean it with a soft mit glove or terry cloths?

 

Soap/water or a general purpose cleaner. I'd recommend waxing the wheels at least once every six months, as they have base/clear just like your car's finish

 

the sw388s have a base of clear on them???
i didn't know that

 

I dont think that they are clear coated. So dont wax them because its gonna be hard to remove them from spoon wheels.

 

yeah thats what i thought too

 

Yeah these wheels definitely are not cleared, i strongly recommend keeping was OFF of them at all costs since it will probably stain the finish like window moldings etc.

I know i already told you this but for everyone else who takes a look at this...

First i clean them with soapy water and a terry cloth towel and dry them off completely. Then wipe them down thoroughly with wd40 sprayed on a terry cloth rag. (dont spray directly on the wheel to avoid spotting) Then wipe off the excess WD and let them sit for an hour or so, then clean with some window cleaner and youre done.

 

Haha yes, the waxing is a general rule. Pretty sure the SW's are without clear, sorry for any confusion.

 

<---new proud owner of some clean sw388's . now just gotta maintain them

 

sw388 are anodize matte finish if that helps

 

is the rumor still going around to use peanut butter? lol

im NOT advising you to use it, but i remember a few people were doing it saying it worked..
