Okay some of you may remember me having trouble cleaning my wheels cos they are white! Well here it is and I have no idea how to get rid! :(

As you may imagine this looks pretty bad as here is the whole wheel!

Please help! Could I possibly use a nail brush and scrub hard as you like with that?

Cheers :thumbsup:

looks like brake dust eating your alloys,i see wheels like that at work

if you were local i'd do em for you.But you aint so i wont!!!

i use autoglym alloy wheel cleaner then VERY fine wire wool with

autoglym window cream( the light blue cream)

should remove it then t-cut and polish them to bring back the shine.

hope that helps.

get some decent wheel cleaner and an old toothbrush an give em a good scrub, i find with these wheels that if u leave em dirty its worse so clean as often as u can even if its only the wheels

If alloy wheel cleaners aint shifting it.. try a bit of WD40 it breaks up breakdust and cut's through grease.

Don't use a scrubbing / nal brush.. these might to harsh.. use a toothbrush they are much softer.

Geez that looks harsh!

I was going to suggest a toothbrush, but got beaten to it! Because they are painted alloys, anything too abrasive and you might make them worse....

So yeah - alloy cleaner and a toothbrush I think! :thumbsup: Let us know how you get on!

Looking at that wheel I’m I right in saying that the wheel is on the off side? (Drivers side)

If it is then I don’t think it is all down to brake dust.
