Spring Wheel Cleaning Really Needed!
The rims were nasty and were way overdue for a proper cleaning!
I used Simoniz heavy duty Rim Cleaner because I had heavy duty stains & Rust forming...
I sprayed the cleaner on let in soak in and had to use a scrubb pad with my fingers into all the grooves in these mags..PITA !
Anyways after power washing, this is now how they look...
OK I did wash & quick wax ..the rest of the Pk Ave as well!!

The stuff works great is right Justin, I was not expecting the wheels to be like new again!
& Mike I wish we did live closer, I probably be over many weekends asking..what are we working on this weekend...I'd even bring more beer! LOL..
Anyways, I got to detailing the "other ride" 4x4 which has Chrome Wheels and I have to say the Simoniz worked fantastic on them as well! (better than expected considering how bad the chromes really was)

This is pretty strong stuff & you should with any wheel cleaner do a small spot test on your mag to ensure it is not going to damage them.
Always read the fine print on your cleaner as well. I think this one would remove paint..LOL..
