Arrow Anyone wanna help me out?

so the problem is that I've been at work for the past couple of months and haven't had a chance to wash my car, ontop of that, I dont live in a house where I have access to a hose to wash my car myself...

I usually just take it to the car wash, but there's only one I can go to where it clears the rail, cause my car is soo low, lol

Latetly I've stopped taking it to the car wash cause they haven't been doing a good job of washing her, and also because I was soo busy at work for the past couple of months.

Right now my chrome rims have sooo much dirt and brake dust on them that I'm actually scared of washing them in fear that it's gonna come out real bad...

Anyways, anyone wanna help out a fellow acuraziner?

Maybe we could arrange to wash and wax our cars and even do a photoshoot together?

I'm in the Queens, NY area, so anyone from around here think they could help out?

I'd really like to get her cleaned up before the bug east coast meet on Sept 27th

well ill wait for one of the other more experienced guys to chime in oin the product, but basically i think you re just gonna need to spray the rims down with the product, give it a few minutes to soak in, and then lightly agitate them, with say a soft bristly brush. then hose down, see how they are and do it again if needed. if youre afraid of the chrome coming off, then just take it slow.


check out the posts on some of the detail jobs. most of them have they types of products used, and also a pic of the wheels.

If you can, try to get a hold of some P21S Wheel Cleaner Gel. If your wheels are as bad as you say they are, P21S should take care of those wheels no problem.

P21S is also completely safe for your wheels so you can let it sit for hours and your wheels will remain unharmed.
