Crying living in the flat and be unable to clean my car. If the parking is at least near my building it would be OK, can go up and down with buckets of water.

It may 'not take a lot of effort' but you are spending a lot of time on your knees on the cold ground. every so often I remove my wheels (one by one) and clean them at waist height - it is much more comfortable for me than being at ground level for any length of time. Taking the wheels off gives me the chance to fully inspect the inside of the wheel for corrosion/damage to the alloy/tyre. I usually spray some water onto the wheel, add a little washing up liquid and give it a good scrub with an old pot brush - rinse with clean water - let dry - polish the alloy and use boot polish to tidy the tyre - whether any of this is good for the alloy/tyre I do not know - but it is what I use

can u use citrus pre wash on alloy wheels?

@epicautomotivedetailing Жыл бұрын

Yes you can if it's for regular cleans. Citrus isn't strong enough for brake dust but it will remove a good portion of dirt

Hi there, I’ve just cleaned my car for the 4th time , new driver, used auto glam custom wheel cleaner again used this 4 times and problem, but 2day 1 of my back wheels peeled abit, was getting metal particles just flaked off 😤 I know it’s not the autoglym well I hope not, and pressure washer not very powerful at all, question is it just because their almost 12 year old or is it something I’ve done, I cleaned them quickly so I dint leave the product on too long, another question lol should I sand the affected areas down?. Sorry for bothering u.

As suggested, they have likely been repainted at some point and the cleaning fluid and pressure washer have speeded up the process of releasing the paint. If they were original finish, then at 12 years depending on how the car was stored, would also be close to time for a refurb. There is no recovery from the shedding paint, other than having them refurbished. Depending on which part of the country, prices range from about £50 per wheel upwards depending on finish. From experience I would avoid the smart repairs on wheels as they look good initially, but the finish does not last as well as a complete strip and repaint or powder coat.

I don't like shiny tire and same goes for most of my customers. a water based dressing can be diluted and still provide lister and shine so no need to dry the tire. you can apply many dressings to wet tires and by the time you wipe and level it all with your applicator. it's not like its dripping all over. . I apply dressing to wet tires right after the final rinse. them by the time I dry the car and apply a topper or sealant, the tires are dry and protected. dry the wheels. tires no need. unless you're planning on driving off immediately. most detailers are detailing a car that will stay in that same spot for hours so this saves time. not drying the tires. just use a water based dressing and it'll all dry evenly in the sun and air

why is the wheel cleaner purplish surely that’s a iron/fallout remover instead of an actual wheel cleaner. from my experience i’m sure you only use the iron/fallout remover after you cleaned wheels to get rid any of those grim or road dirt that still lies behind?

@epicautomotivedetailing 10 сағат бұрын

This is a bit of both, active wheel cleaners here in the UK are all going this way, the combination of gel formula and fallout helps clean due to longer dwelling

Wirh the rip off cost of all cleaning products I suspect it may be cheaper in the long run to get the wheels re furbed and then clean them weekly with a car shampoo. 😅

@epicautomotivedetailing 11 ай бұрын

I wouldn't say it's a rip off. I recently had to put the brakes on my own products because the cost of raw materials to make products is staggering, you then have labels, bottles, caps, triggers and shipping. And then running costs of a facility, boxes, packaging and also tax. Trust me the only people getting ripped off are the people who dedicate their lives to make the products. I experienced it first hand

There is the school of thought that recommends not to use water to remove the loose dirt at the beginning of washing the wheels as the iron fallout remover will not be as effective as water has the effect of neutralizing the iron fallout remover. So unless the iron fallout remover is used in it’s full strength or undiluted, and sufficient time is allowed for the chemical to do it’s thing, as soon as you spray the snow foam, the iron fallout remover will have become neutralized and ineffective from there on in. The snow foam will still act as a lubricant though.
