DanDanFiestaMan Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Hey all, had a look and can't find any other topics, but does anyone know if you can use wonder wheel to clean the rado grey alloy on ST? Many thanks in advance :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattDRX Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 The Purple Wonderwheels? turns into a red gunk stuff?? best thing for cleaning any wheel imo, I've used it and loved it on every car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulyinthenorth Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Have a look in your local Asda for Wonder Wheels Hot Wheels. I got 3 bottles at 3 quid each from mine - reduced. The guy said that they had randomly got a load in but they weren't supposed to - so they sold it off. Agreed about this purple stuff though. It's awesome. Spray on. Leave for 5 mins. And if you can use a brush on those ST wheels you can get right behind to clean them. Good stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieFarlie Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Wonder wheels is a very very acidic wheel cleaner. If you spray it on your wheels and it goes through onto the calipers and other components behind the wheels it will deteriorate the finish in no time at all ! It will also strip the finish from wheels over time. Never allow that stuff to dry or it will mark your wheels ! The only time I would use that product is on severely soiled wheels and then I would remove the wheels from the car to clean them. If you get your wheels properly cleaned and sealed or waxed all you will need after that is soap and water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartynS Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I'm very cautious when it comes to wheel cleaners now - the stuff I used on my last car (turtle wax I think) started corroding the centre badges around the edges, and always seemed to dry before I had a chance to get the brush round the whole wheel. Plus I read something once that said these wheel cleaners are designed to eat through brake dust, so imagine what it does when overspray gets all over your brake pads! Since then I've just used car shampoo on them as I don't trust anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mental_Atom Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I use bilberry wheel cleaner... non-acidic and truly great stuff! I use it at 1:3 dilution and it gets rid of everything... can be used neat if you coated your wheels in lead or something ;) http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/valet-pro-bilberry-wheel-cleaner/prod_499.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattDRX Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I've used Wonder wheels for years and years and never had a problem with it, complete myth by a local pub hero no doubt, Actually made my tatty Clio wheels look nice after a few bottles went through them. had no affect on the discs or anything, water from the hose sorts that out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
