Can any one reccommend a good allow wheel cleaner. I have left all that black brake dust and crap build up and washing it does not move it.

Regards

Gareth

Hi,

i use 'Wonder wheels' works a treat but be careful coz its a acidy substance so be careful (eyes, body work etc etc) read the instructions carefully

Cheers

use Autoglym CLEAN WHEELS

similar to wonder wheels. then treat with Autoglym INstant Tyre Dressing to prevent the same thing happening again.

i was waiting on Rob plugging the Autoglym product

but i guess he is right as both products do work - from memory

Congratulations - and welcome to the CC GOD group

Have been watching your posts wondering when you would get there.

As for the plugs - I am not on commission or anything :sad:( just like the product.

I will soon be getting a full list of UK distributors and all contact details. I will be getting the full trade price list as well - so we can all benefit.

An example

Shampoo conditioner (for the car silly)

1 ltr costs Â£5 approx at halfords
5ltrs costs Â£29 approx in Halfors
5ltrs costs Â£14 approx at trade price.

i forgot about the CC GOD thingwy but i think CC LEMON would have been more appropriate

i'm getting more autoglym wheel cleaner tomorrow, i'll post what i am currently paying for it.

I nearly asked if I could order some shampoo/conditioner and collect it at the meet, but (i) we haven't sorted the meet yet and (ii) you'd only fit 2 bottles in the boot if it's sunny and I wouldn't want to deprive you

rob,

i paid Â£3.18 + VAT for wheel cleaner & instant tyre dressing. how does this compare to your trade prices ?

regards

I bought some on Wednesday for #3.05 + VAT

So not a bad price you got there. Its on the larger sizes that you start to make some <font size=5>BIG</font> savings.

if you get bigger sizes of the wheel cleaner etc.. then i'm looking forward to seeing your price list. the place i go to only has the small bottle and it doesn't last long.

25ltr #53.00
200ltr #390.00

Shampoo Conditioner
5ltr #11.50

200ltr #280.00

Screen Wash dilutes 1/9

whats cheaper - new alloys or 200L of wheel cleaner ?

rob · Post by **rob** » Sun Feb 17, 2002 10:27 pm

I know the 200lts is a bit excessive.

But you get the idea as 5ltrs is a good size
