Any input on a good wheel cleaner product? I've been thinking about trying some of the chemical guys stuff, but it really doesn't matter, anything with good results.

Childish gambino!! "Bonfire" goes hard!

Culdesac is one of my favorite mixtapes.

Fabo's "soul tape 3" is prob my most played right now...

rawger

Lol, I have so much music that I haven't gotten around to listening. I liked Loso's Way a lot though.

One of my favorite newer mixtapes would be I Am King by Trae tha Truth. Features galore and good beats.

Jaheri_cbp

Give this a try... Lol just add water

Loso's way 2 should be coming out soon hopefully...

rawger

Ha. I mean I can use car wash soap also, I know there are people that won't recommend any products as it can ruin the rims finish overtime. But there has to be something that isn't super acidic that can help break down brake dust from hard to reach places.

Jaheri_cbp

I mean.. If dawn is gentle enough for the cute lil duckies and penguins on the cover..

I agree. The MXM4s are terrible. Also if you see ever see snow, the MXM4s are probably one of the worst all season tires in snow (and yes I know, all seasons don't mean they're good in snow; but they're worse than any all seasons I've ever had). My car has ~2500 kms (a bit over 1500 miles) so the stocks are brand new. I couldn't pass a tram in snow because of too much slippage

rawger

Lol. It really is genius advertising though. Thousands of people will actually buy it for that reason.

iCrap

yea they seriously suck ass. can't wait to replace them.

Motorcycle wheel cleaner. Best known secret.

I got a free sample of some stuff from detailed image, forgot what its called but it comes in a silver bottle and the color changes to purple after it does its thing. Pretty awesome stuff, got rid of these black spots on my old rims that didn't come off with car soap and a lot of scrubbing.

Edit: its called sonax full effect wheel cleaner

rawger

What's the difference TSXy? Do you have any exact product name I can look into?

rawger

When you said changes purple I know I saw a YouTube video of a product that did that. I had forgot the name also so I'm kind of glad you found it lol. That is one I definitely wanted to try.

Or it could have been Iron X, they both bleed purple.

Harper

I only needed to use it once to get rid of the black spots, then I applied some wheel wax to the wheels. Now car soap does the trick.

I hand wash my wheels, literally. Brake dust ruins all of my rags and a brush cant get to the hard spots. So Ill sit indian style with a carona next to me and stick my hand in the soapy bucket and wash the inside surface and mags with my hands, and then spray it with water. Takes a while though.

opboarding

I take my wheels into the shower with me and wash them in there.

iCrap

This is why i dipped mine a dark color. so much brake dust..... when these wear out i'll buy dustless pads.

ssjoeboe9

someone find the pic of the girl washing the wheels in the tub!

Possibly a video/product from AMMO NYC, that guy is amazing.

On another note, I'm pretty pissed off. Both at myself, and at the BOFA ATM's - but more at myself for not learning my lesson. On 3/31/14 I deposited $140 cash into a BOFA envelope-less ATM - Normally it takes about 10 seconds to verify the cash, but on this occasion it shows a message that says "Processing Cash" and hangs for about a minute. Then a message says "We were unable to accept some of your cash" and, after making a BONG noise for like another minute, the door finally opens and it returns $100 back to me. I take the $100 back, press continue, and the machine hangs again for another long while and comes back with the message "Would you like another transaction?" and I never see the other $40.




Today, the same shitttt happened again, but on a different ATM. This time I went to deposit $40 - got the same message and only got $20 back.




Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

does the receipt show only depositing 100?
i would head to the bank with your concerns. 60 bucks is a lot!

i was on a trip with some acurazine buddies and i had forgotten to withdraw money from my bank...
quickly, i went into a store to use the atm. I knew I was gonna get dinged the 2 bucks...
my bank only issues cash in multiples of 20.
for some reason, this stupid store ATM had an option for $150.
I chose it, well knowing my bank only issues cash in 20s.
i did this twice.
I lost $24 bucks.

Didn't even get a receipt! Because it jammed and returned my money, but kept some of it. I did not try to deposit the $100 that I got back, I took it and ran!!!


From my understanding, the tellers can't do anything about it, so going to a BOFA branch is useless. I have to file a claim over the phone, with their Indian representatives. FUN

sometimes, convenience isnt so convenient

rawger

You could use something like this to get into the barrel. Your rims don't have many spokes either, so it would be quicker.

To be fair it's almost more for my dad's RDX than my TSX. After 2 weeks of not washing, my TSX didn't have much break dust. His rims get real dirty.

Whatever you do, do not Google "Tub Girl"!

I've seen some of his videos. I actually just watched the one where he cleaned up the new Stingray yesterday lol.

That's one I want to give a shot, just because a lot of people have recommended it and from watching videos it actually looks like it does a damn good job with a little scrubbing.

Only thing I'm curious about is that it's made for motorcycles and I haven't seen anyone really attest to using in on a car.

^honest to god, wheel cleaners are just super concentrated cleaning products.
they also arent a "use every day" product.
like one member said, sprayed on just to get the brake dust that got embedded into the wheel's paint.

so, if you dont take care of your wheels often, a full detail with one of those super concentrated wheel cleaners will take care of it!
then wax the barrels!
then wash every week!
wheels will be awesome for a very long time!!

iCrap

Maybe it's cause I drive mine hard but after a week my front wheels were black.

And NO, DO google Tub Girl!!


as for cleaning rims, I pressure wash them. Clean in 10 seconds

rawger

Lol, I have to wash everyone's car in my family (4), so every week is too much. I wouldn't be using the product every time I wash the car, only when it's really dirty.

LOL. I came across it in high school. The words tub and girl together will never be the same again.

Also, I think my wheels had some kind of wax on them, they were pretty water resistant, IDK if that helped them? But yeah I generally don't brake hard anyways.

TSXy Luster

Go look at car detailing forums, it is a very well kept secret. Trust me, it is excellent.

P.S. wheels on motorcycles are pretty much the same as wheels on cars. One just has more.

no picture of the bathtub wheel girl?

just google tub girl!

I'll be the nice one to warn you (semi ruin it) that tub girl is NSFW!

rawger

I promise you, tub girl would actually make the wheels dirtier rather than clean...
