I've got a set of 5 wheels that are absolutely caked in 20 years worth of brake dust. I don't want to pay too much for specialised alloy cleaning products so will give this method a try, thanks.
@@How2EveryStep Had a go this afternoon and it shifted 95% of the built up brake dust and gunk. What little is left is greatly softened so should scrub away quite easily, these wheels were really bad and this technique has saved me the cost of a refurb- I'm dead chuffed! Many thanks!
We have a product named 'Extra Strength Purple Power' in the US for $7 that requires no high power wash. Just spraying, bit of scrubbing, and rinsing with a garden hose. Just did my wheels today with it. Just don't let it dry on the metal. Spray, scrub, rinse -- quickly and you will be fine.
@@How2EveryStep I’m asking if the substance you’re calling “washing up liquid” goes by any other names where you’re from, or if that’s just what everyone calls it there? Like here in the US we would just call it “dish soap”, but I’m sure it’s got a bunch of names in different places.
This is useful if you don't have the time or money to buy the proper products, so don't judge. At the end of the day is on you what you want to do, your not forced to do anything if you fine a better solution then good for you, but don't criticize the man. Is always good to have some knowledge.
@@rjprz5929 I'd rather use something that is less hazardous to health, and it's still not a crime to have a different opinion the last time I looked, so I'll thank you not to criticise my opinion either !
@@rubberkas2 you have a point there , your opinion is as valuable as any other person, and yes there are safer ways to clean but, the way you put it sound like your almost accusing the man for giving you different options to clean some rims, when like I said before your not forced to do It this way.
