day off work and wheels where looking rather dirty and stained so.....

one set of dirty "white wheels"

jack the car up (i had both off at the same time because i was swapping front with rears)

used the pressure washer on them but it did nothing and i dont find wheel cleaner that good tbh.
so i used a wet sponge and some t-cut to get all the crap off them, works a treat and removes the stains aswell

dried em off with a chamois. polished them up with tcut again and waxed them

tyreshine to make em look fresh

and finished result

shame they'll be filthy again soon

agreed, they're a bitch to keep clean, but when they are makes it worth while

I wax my wheels with Gum Wheel wax and the dirt barely stays on the wheels and takes no more than a rinse to get them gleaming again.

orrr, you could use a decent wheel wax like poorboys wheel sealant and use half the effort to clean your rims...
