Tar removal diamond cut wheels

HampshireUK · 06-02-2020, 07:42 AM

After some advice on removing tar spots from the diamond cut area of the 21” M 40i wheels. I have Autoglym Tar Remover but not sure this is safe to use on diamond cut wheels.

Just to confirm it’s not baked brake dust.

Any tar cleaner that is PH neutral should be fine.

A little petrol (gas) on a rag works.

Indeed...anything oil-based which will act as a thinner.
