kristriple Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 For a big 6 monthly clean. Autosmart smart wheels, then tardis, then auto finesse iron out. Then mint rims to seal and regular washes with your usual soap of choice. As long as it is wax/sealant friendly of course!

kristriple Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 then tardis, then auto finesse iron out.care to explainwhat it does paul Sure Paul. I take my wheels off twice a year for a proper clean front and back of the wheels. Smart wheels is a strong wheel cleaner. It gets rid of all the brake dust that has been missed during routine washing. Tardis is a solvent cleaner. It literally melts tar and strips any leftover old wax. Iron out is a fallout remover. It dissolves inorganic contaminants. Those stubborn yellow/Orange dots that refuse to come off, dissolve in no time. Wheels are then squeaky clean for applying the fresh wax. I do 2 layers on the back, 3 on the front and its still there in 6 months time. Sent from my KFTT using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kristriple Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I've heard some horror stories about wonder wheels eating alloys.... You should stick up some pictures of them finished. Tardis and iron out are fantastic decontamination products. They are excellent for your paint as well. If you use them twice a year, you might only need some spot clay barring. Saves massive amounts of time and effort. Sent from my KFTT using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
