Clean the rims

LuisMH · 05-08-2016, 03:22 AM

Hi guys, I´m keen on keeping the inside of the rims clean from all the breaks dust, any ideas on how you do it or which products/brush to use?

Thanks

Two options:

Basic microfiber with lots of suds and water. Or

As stated above ceramic coating would help. Be careful when washing these wheels because with the black the will show scratches if you rub that brake dust into the wheel while attempting to clean.

here are some ideas for rim coatings

Gyeon Rim Coat - it's best to pull the wheels off do a complete prep on them and apply the product. While you are there you should coat your calipers.

For cleaning brake dust I highly recommend Nanolex Wheel Cleaner and Iron Remover.

Add the brushes and you have a great way to clean your wheels
