Cleaning tiny Black Pit spots from Alloys?

DonnyGirl · 11-14-2006, 03:04 AM

Hello

I have had my new car/alloys for about six months now. And I clean the alloys with basic car wash shampoo, to clean and get rid of ehe brak dust every fortnight. But it takes a lot of scrubbing to get rid of the tiny pits of dark spots occuring inside the rim. Any advice ? I am rather cautious of using any abbrasive, or aggresive cleaner, since I worry about damaging the alloy coating.

Cheers for any advice

Buy Sonax or BMW wheel cleaner. These two are same stuff only the bottle is different colour. Very effective and acid free.

Clean your wheels with Klasse All in One and then apply three coats of Klasse SG (wait at least 24 hours between each coat). Thereafter, it will be very easy to clean the wheels and they will be protected from pitting.
