wheel well cleaner?
 

I think rgal once mentioned a product she used for the wheel wells that she was muy impressed with. what was it?

anyone else is free to share their wheel well product of choice too.

puddles of rain water work for me

found it

griot's undercarriage spray

I'm gonna order some along with their wheel cleaner

Must be getting close to the big day! Cant wait to see it!

I didn't like Griot's wheel cleaner much; it didn't work any better than plain old (car) soap and water.

hmm, rgal raved about it :dunno:

I am with Steve. I don't like Griot's wheel cleaner much. But I don't like any of the other non acid based cleaners either. Most of the Griot's cleaning stuff works amazingly well though, so I would try the under carriage spray in a heartbeat. I am also aware that many, many people swear by it. I just don't think it does anything more than normal soap.

What undercarriage are you cleaning? Cosmoline off the Lotus?

You are cleaning the undercarriage on a car that you are selling? Wow. Very nice of you.

The undercarriage spray is NOT a cleaner. It's a coating that makes things look nice and shiny, it's a cover up. It does work well.

I really like the Griots wheel cleaner myself, spray it on, let it set a bit, wash off most of the dirt. It only takes a bit of wiping to get the rest especially if you wax the wheels

I used to use a bottle of cheap tire shine (even used the cherry-smelling stuff until I realized how long that odor would waft into the cabin) and a cloth. Just spray directly on the wheel well, wipe down. Had to be careful not to get any on the treads, for obvious fokkin' reasons.

What he said.

:P "obvious fokkin' reasons!" :lol:

edit: I've liked all their other cleaning and other products, just found the wheel cleaner to be ineffective.

Ja, it's like tire shine. Use it once the undercarriage is already clean.

I do rave about the wheel cleaner. It's quicker and more thorough than soap and water, for me. But I do clean my wheels fairly often, and take them off to clean them - rinse off the surface dirt, spritz with cleaner, wipe with a cloth or sponge, rinse. The Heliums are the first wheels I ever bought new, and I want to keep them lookin' good.

How do you support the car while you clean the rims?

I work an extra job in the evenings... :P


Jack stands.

I have a bottle of wheel cleaner I haven't used in a few months. It's turned a dark green color...

I thought that's what the UNDERwire was for? :twisted:

Ohhhhhhh........

I just had to chuckle when I heard RG's response. I almost lost my drink when Nick 'kicked in the door'........ That is tooooooo funny......

:lol:
