Alloy & Arch cleaner

[duckson]

Chaps, looking for a little advice on the above, i'm trying to make my alloy cleaning a little easier than getting on my hands and knees and scrubbing till my fingers are sore!! :wall:

I've seen Megs Wheel Brightner mentioned but at £18 i feel its a little expensive, is it available in a smaller quantity so cheaper than that?
How does it compare to Autobrite Brite Wheels?

With the above i presume u just spray the entire alloy in it (diluted as specified) and leave it for x minutes then wash off, so no agitating required and all the brake dust and muck just comes off with the hose/power washer?

(note once clean i will try to keep them maintained with SRP and PB WS).

For cleaning the arches am i best buying just some All Purpose Cleaner, diluting to the required level and spraying on?


I would have buy some spray bottles to apply the above!

First of all i find that for my arches i use virosol which comes in 5ltr containers and can be diluted between 10 and 5 to 1.Its very economical at around £6 per 5ltrs
For your alloys i will be selling 32 oz sizes of alloy wheel cleaner ,which i have been testing over the last week or so with good results,whci can be diluted 4 to 1

I can also supply the trigger spray and bottles

Must say those alloys don't look like a particularly difficult design to keep clean?

I agree but to make it even easier i use a coat of rim wax on my wheels and this minimises the build up of brake dust
