Rim Job: Time to clean those rims!

Surprised no one responded. I had brake dust and rust deposits caked on my S60 wheels. Plenty of trips to the self-wash with liberal applications of parts store cleaners and foaming brushes only went so far. I thought they were toast to be honest. Luckily, there was a Groupon for a local detailing service. It was cheap enough so I thought I would give it a try. Wow! That's all I could say. The wheels came out looking like new. The service manager did tell me they had to apply the wheel cleaner twice, but considering I had scrubbed those wheels at least a dozen times with little effect I would say whatever they used is amazing stuff. I imagine it is something with a fancy-schmancy name. If you are looking for products yourself, look into P21S Super Strength or Griot's Heavy Duty wheel cleaner. Multiple applications will be needed.

I use some orange scented degreaser stuff - one time gets them clean!
Armour All Wheel Protectant is well worth a try - come out looking like new and stays clean for a month or so unless it rains.
PS
The orange stuff attract wasps - I sprayed mine and left them sit while I went inside for a few minutes, came out and picked one up- yowzer! 4 stings! the others had them under the rim too.
