For every day drivers where the occasional curb rub or stone damage chips the wheel/paint, it's good to know we can still get a great result from using just a few products and proper cleaning techniques. Cheers!

Im having issues cleaning the alloy wheel protector strip and the nuts on the wheel. its like they are coated in some white sticky stuff and I cant seem to remove it. I can get the alloys clean fine just this white stuff won't come off the nuts and the alloy black plastic protection so its a mix match of white and black. Any ideas? ive used various oil removers and pink leave on sprays to try and get this off but it doesn't seem to work. Any advice would be great. Cheers

I find i always miss bits when using just the detailing brush for the faces and mainly miss bits in between the spokes. I used a cheap thin wash mitt on mine. Works well Nice job Dave, best wheel cleaning video I’ve seen. I’ve using your technique for a few months now and it’s working well

  • Thanks Dave for another good video, as an addition I use Bilt Hamber Atom Mac’ to stop surface corrosion on the brake discs. You spend all that time cleaning the wheel and the first time the brakes are used you get a fine layer of brown dust all over the wheel. Obviously you can drive the vehicle to dry the discs off but it’s not always possible. Might be a product to review in the future? Keep up the good work.

I just happened to come across a super cheap iron fallout cleaner in Home Bargains - the AA Bleeding Wheels. I think it's priced at £1-2. Was wondering if you've ever used it, what was your opinion and is it that cheap for a reason?? Either way I'm suspicious.

  • It may 'not take a lot of effort' but you are spending a lot of time on your knees on the cold ground. every so often I remove my wheels (one by one) and clean them at waist height - it is much more comfortable for me than being at ground level for any length of time. Taking the wheels off gives me the chance to fully inspect the inside of the wheel for corrosion/damage to the alloy/tyre. I usually spray some water onto the wheel, add a little washing up liquid and give it a good scrub with an old pot brush - rinse with clean water - let dry - polish the alloy and use boot polish to tidy the tyre - whether any of this is good for the alloy/tyre I do not know - but it is what I use

I have used non acidic alloy wheel cleaner, citrus pre wash but can’t shift the stains. I don’t want to ruin the wheels with TFR or anything caustic. Please help

    • As suggested, they have likely been repainted at some point and the cleaning fluid and pressure washer have speeded up the process of releasing the paint. If they were original finish, then at 12 years depending on how the car was stored, would also be close to time for a refurb. There is no recovery from the shedding paint, other than having them refurbished. Depending on which part of the country, prices range from about £50 per wheel upwards depending on finish. From experience I would avoid the smart repairs on wheels as they look good initially, but the finish does not last as well as a complete strip and repaint or powder coat.

  • I don't like shiny tire and same goes for most of my customers. a water based dressing can be diluted and still provide lister and shine so no need to dry the tire. you can apply many dressings to wet tires and by the time you wipe and level it all with your applicator. it's not like its dripping all over. . I apply dressing to wet tires right after the final rinse. them by the time I dry the car and apply a topper or sealant, the tires are dry and protected. dry the wheels. tires no need. unless you're planning on driving off immediately. most detailers are detailing a car that will stay in that same spot for hours so this saves time. not drying the tires. just use a water based dressing and it'll all dry evenly in the sun and air

So unless the iron fallout remover is used in it’s full strength or undiluted, and sufficient time is allowed for the chemical to do it’s thing, as soon as you spray the snow foam, the iron fallout remover will have become neutralized and ineffective from there on in. The snow foam will still act as a lubricant though.
