Exhaust Tips and Alloys

[thePHILosipher]

Gave me car a damn good scrub up today using a bit of turtlewax and then a whole host of autoglym products results i have to say are bloody stunning

But i as much as the autoglym clean wheels did a grand job on the wheels there is some yellowish staining on the spokes of the wheels (probably due to the salt on the roads) which would barely shift, are there any products out there

also as you will notice below the exhaust tips are still a little grimy and just wont shine like i would like them too, again any recommendations to make them shine??

thanks for the help

Try a more agressive wheel cleaner, or clay the wheels.

And a metal polish like autosol or peek with 00grade wire wool for the exhaust

As above, wire wool and autosol should bring the exhaust up to scratch.

Wonder wheels is quite agressive. I'd be more incline to try claying them though

nice one mate thanks for the tips,

I've never really put much time into into cleaning (due to the distance I travel, but having said that she has always been on a bi-weekly wash schedule) but today I spent the best part of 4 hours on it. Pressure washer, wash mitts, resin polishes wheel brushes the whole nine yards and the results i think are stunning, makes me want to invest into better products to really help to finish like the exhaust which will look lovely once its nice and shiney

I use Bilberry wheel cleaner, dilute it in a spray bottle, spray it on and leave to dwell for 5 mins then rinse and wash as normal . Use a wheel sealant after, Poorboys do a reasonable priced one or for a bit more FinishKare do a high temperature sealant but you can use that on your paintwork as well. I'd agree with using fine grade wire wool and autosol for your exhaust.
