Product to clean rims

[Lexanez]

Mmm, anything to recommend? Nothing too harsh on the paintwork though.

Try GT85.

I've been using it for the past 2 years.

Just spray on it and use paper towels to wipe the dirt and grime, which will come off real easily.

And the best thing is that it leaves a coating on the wheel, and you can just wipe the crap off easily next time.

car shampoo, degreaser, scrubbing brush, autosol and steel wool.

 

take your pick of any of the above. works for most stains.

 

car shampoo is the weakest, autosol and steel wool the strongest.

Where can I get this bro? Location? Price? Thanks

[Lexanez]

Mmm, GT85 huh? Think MW have it or rather used to have it.

 

Works well on painted rims? Greasy? Would like something that could make it shine.

[DanielBuay]

Gonna be careful not to spray onto your brakes rotors:angel:... its actually something like WD40

Motoworld.

I forgot about the price, probably around $20?

Non greasy. it leaves a very thin layer of coating after using. Good stuff.

I have been told by the bike shop that use WD40 together with wet tissue to clean also can protect and shine on the rims. I have try it out and it true. After done if the rims get dirty than use water to splash on it.

Previously i use WD40 or GT85 to clean my rims, much like what everyone else has said the effect is great and fast... but nowadays i just use mama lemon, it gets the job done equally well, at a much lower cost.. Some of my friends use Axion, the cleaning power is solid.. but some ppl might find it difficult to wash off completely.

[Lexanez]

Would't Axion be too harsh? Mmm, I'll get a bottle of Mama Lemon then!

[anthony_c]

Dont think it will damage paintwork. Some of my friends been using it for some time already. Some bike shops the mechanics even use it to wash hands. U go to their toilet and see, got one tub of axion beside the sink one.. haha.

[talkingcock]

I also heard from that also.....as long that they dont damage the rims any thing also can wash.....

Handsome!!! Give magic clean a try. Tis is the old bottle design though. Easily available. Cheap and good. Been using it for years.

3 setting on the nozzel head [off, spray and form] Switch to the form mode for best result but use it only on the rims and avoid the chain and socket and the brake calipers.

Dishwashing liquid so far works alrite for me. Rims paintwork not affected so far. One 1 litre bottle less than $2 frm giant. Dilute in a spray bottle can last for months.

[Lexanez]

Sounds awesome! Though the next thing I know, I might be grabbing a bottle of AutoGlym...

 

Been getting quite a number of AutoGlym products.

 

Will try the Magic Clean, Mama lemon and Axion (Able to dilute and spray?)

[carbine]

GT85 is good....but careful not to kena the rotors

[sfowner]

Can't find autoglym anymore... used to be at Giant. Any idea where to get?

Carefour and Home Fix has most of the range. not cheap though. about 20 bucks on average. but they're good.

yup i think i saw it last week when i was there.

[sfowner]

Haha I used to get the motorcycle wheels one .. Pink in color. Still think it works the best.

[Lexanez]

Autoglym is damn good. Gotta almost the whole range for bikes!

 

Anyway, Carrefour do have both Meguairs and AutoGlym.

I've used soap powder thats for washing clothes for the rims. Works like a charm.

[Lexanez]

Woah...soap power huh? Would those be too soapy with all the suds and stuffs?
