re wheels.... the best tool i have found , particularly for the groves on the back of the spokes when you have the wheels off is the AutoGlym alloy wheel brush,

really does the trick.

For mine, gold class wash, and wheel wax. (previously AG super resin polish)

i take them off maybe twice a yr and cycle tyres front to back. this is when they get a real good clean up.

oh used to be a wonder wheels user.

ever since the audi, i havent used it. Not with it stating in the manual not to use acidic based cleaners.

I didnt want to risk it.

Any chance of a group buy on this? I'm fecked off with paying £6 for a piddly little bottle [img]images/graemlins/062802beat_prv.gif[/img]
I have used wonder wheels for years with no side effects. Although I do use Wheel Wax inbetween to coat them.

First off, I have used Wonder Wheels and I have not had any ill effects. I pour it out of the 5 litre plastic container into a bottle with a squeeze spray on the top, spray it onto the wheels, use a wash brush and water to remove stubborn dust/grease and then hose off immediately. I don't leave it on the rims.

I got my stuff from Costco. I am sure tha price was £9 or so. I will check the price and advise soon [img]images/graemlins/beerchug.gif[/img]

thats OK if you use wheel wax, otherwise it doesnt shift all the dirt?
Can't beat a bit of boost!
