Serious Wheel cleaning success.

[Tree18is]

The basket weaves that I cleaned today have been in the saddest shape. I ran these wheels for a year, as you see them in there dirty state was as clean as I could get them, Intill today..
armor all triple action wheel cleaner. keep in mind this dust would not come off with just the regular techniques, the dust was coming off in fish food flakes, thats how awesome I think this shit is.
Before and After side view.

took paint off? or does it just look that way in pics?

[Tree18is]

the wheel on the right had a little bit of paint missing on the cap, but it didnt remove any.

Was this a spray on, let sit, then wash off technique? Or was it a spray on, let sit, scrub your ass off with a toothbrush, then wash off?

yup, but its the only way it would come off.
especially the fish flake cooked on dust.

elbow grease, and I stepped in dog shit. (edit) its not really elbow grease becuase all you have to do is touch it with the tooth brush and it comes off. so its not hard, just tedious. but worth the results.

Eagle 1, etching mag and wheel cleaner.

Lets put it this way. You will get the same results without any scrubbing.
This shit is so acidic, that if your wheels are hot when your spraying this stuff on, It was go into your lungs and hurt like a son of a bitch. so don't breath in too much with your face by it.

Have you used the Eagle 1 on weaves without any issues or damage?

It says explicitly on the bottle, 'not for use on painted wheels', so yeah, don't use it on weaves. I used to use it, and one time I forgot to spray off one of my wheels. It ruined the paint, etched pits in the wheel and generally destroyed the finish.

[lylefk]

cool, thanks! ill try the armor-all shiz...

True, its only supposed to sit for 30 seconds. It's nasty shit. I use it on painted wheels all the time though, I just make sure to spray it off quick and then wash with a soft bristle brush

I used the dupont teflon wheel cleaner shit in the black spray bottle. Seems to work pretty well too.
