    Default I need some HELP......

    I was cleaning the inside of my wheels today to remove some brake dust. Well I used this greased lightening orange blast all wheel cleaner. Well it seems that some of the cleaner driped onto the face of my wheel and stained the hell out of it. All four wheels are alike. I tried putting some wax on it, but that didn't help.

    Will I have to strip the wheels again with that process from mid america? Or does anyone know what I can use on my wheels to take the stains out?

    Not meaning to sound flippant or anything, but have you tried using the same product to clean the stains from the front of the wheels? Sometimes that's all it takes.

    I am afraid that it will stain the whole wheel. I will try that. I put some of that stripper on it and it took it off. But now I dont have the sand paper and other stuff to recondition them. It has something to do with my wheels not having any clear coat on them. I tried to clean them with that stuff and it started bubbling.

    That's what "CARE & DETAILING" is all about.

    I left a forwarding link in the C4 forum.

    Now this is a care a detailing suggestion. I tried wizards metal polish on the wheels, and it polished right off. If anyone wants a good detailing product, use this on their wheels. It works great. Ken thanks for leaving a link up in the other forum, I am sure the members might find this helpful.

    Yeah, if anyone wants to polish like the AC condensor this is the best stuff I have seen used. I know Wenol is pretty good but have not seen any of it in action.
