The Rim Destroyer...

[kyeong]

Something weird caused my rims to become like dat... (see attached pics)

My main suspect: Turtle Wax Tyre Foam...

Anyone got solution?

P.s. i tried scrubbing ... with a few different type of cleaners... no lasa.. the black stuff got slight sticky feel ... if i scrubbed very hard.. it juz go onto another area... like it cannot be removed... it spreads...

Re: The Rim Destroyer...

yes....taya shine will leave stains on rims. Thats why i make sure the liquid do not contact with my rims.

I try not to use them at all if possible.

Dish washing liquid. Dont see the need for special liquids to wash rims.

polishing products for wiping off stains.

Read some negative feedbacks on rim liquids. I try not to let rims unwashed for too long. First rinse with water mixed with car washing liquid, and let it soak for a while. After that take time to wash & scrub rims with soft cloth. Bit of work but they look good after without destroying paint.

Re: The Rim Destroyer...

true, rims if left unwashed over a period of time will habe the brake dust eat into it and would be extremely difficult to get rid the next time.
