I should get that! My steelies are getting dirty. I want them to shine! :reechy:

I rarely wash my car. Sometimes the automatic car wash by me(Which does an excellent job actually), but my car isn't worth it. The paint on the driver door is bubbling up and seperating(I think they just painted over the original paint), I have some clear coat fading and my passenger fender is weird.

I use the super wheel cleaner (purple spray bottle, forgot the brand name) and spray it on the wheels. Works pretty well in getting brake dust off and it seems to really clean the calipers as well. But I spray it on, hose it off and then still wash it using soap and water with the wheel brushes.
i think the wheel cleaner you have is by castrol. i used that stuff a couple of times and it would great. but when i worked at kragen we stopped selling that stuff. :wtc:
