Cleaning right behind your Corolla Sportivo wheels

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

This is for all the Corolla Sportivo owners out there who mendaciously keep their stock wheels clean, (me being of of them!)

I was wondering if anyone has any special way or methods that you can get behind and clean the rim.

I manage to do ok and get rid of all the grime, but I still have some yucky old black spots that just wont go away.

Does anyone have the same problem and can recommend a cleaning product to remove this?

Cheers

mendaciously?? not sure why you would lie about cleaning your wheels, maybe you meant meticulously :unsure:

anyhow I have some acid wash at work that you literally spray on then wash off almost immediately and they are clean like new!

Leave it on too long and it will eat the wheels!!

Cant remember the name/brand will check it out tomorrow and let you know.

Oops! Apologies for my typo up there...I did mean 'meticulously'!

I think I would be too scared to spray the acid wash stuff on though :unsure:

Knowing my luck it will damage my wheels!

I too usually pick those tar spots off with my nail but they still leave a bit of a mark behind.

This is what I dont know how to get rid of!

this might seems crazy, but.........

.....do you polish your rims with car polish or wax? I reckon the go is to have the wheels cleaned/polished/waxed to prevent grime build up between washes. Having 18's makes it a little easier fro me to clean them between spokes than my old stockies, but I found that keeping them polished/waxed works for me.
