Arctic wheels advice

[adz-ng5]

Noticed earlier a picture of an arctic and the wheels looked so shiny, i mean mine have had 12 months of grime a crap but i obviously clean them at least once a week.. is there anything i could use on them to improve shine (they give of like permanent water marks on certain parts of the wheel) obviously iv seen black wheels on astra's and other corsa's. would appreciate any advice

wheel cleaner.. i used loads of brands but found one for 99p in tescos which works well!

cleans my white wheels on my other car perfectly.

I was told not to used 'acid based' wheel cleaners on my wheels as it will take the laquer off in time and the wheels will lose their shine. I use Auto Glym Wheel Cleaner as i dont think it is acid based and i says on the bottle that its recommended for painted wheels etc.

I think youll fing Auto glym is very aciddy if it's the one im thinking of.

try bilbery or blueberry wheel cleaner from one of the shops in the detailing section. http://www.chemicalguysuk.com/product_p/redber1.htm

A good polish and a wheel wax/sealent will get them looking fresh and help keep them that way. Can even use jetseal which i use personally http://www.chemicalguysuk.com/Paint_...Pain_p/jet.htm

I personally use Bilberry, very good just don't leave it on for too long.

So autoglym is acidic and Bilberry isn't, just got mine done today and I don't particuarly want to ruin them!

bilberry is the best to use i am sure its acid free
