    Volvic had a puncture, could see it was a screw in the middle of the tyre,
    so I though I would just take the tyre off and take it to my mate to sort.
    I then decided to clean the 2 front wheels at the same time (they seem to get
    a lot more abuse than the back) they were quit bad....




    Worse on the inside




    First I sprayed them with Meguiars Wheel Brightner great suff (but it is acidic so you can't leave it on to long) I used wheel brush and a paint brush to shift some more of the dirt.





    A good rinse followed, and this is the result after the Meguiars Wheel Brightner

    You can see the tar spots that were left..





    I then sprayed the inside of the wheel Tardis (great stuff) let it sit for a few minutes and then used
    a old microfibre cloth to remove a bit more.

    Wheels were then polished with Autogym Super Resin polish and finally 2 coats of Collinite 915 wax as this
    is a long lasting wax. It also makes cleaning them the next time very easy.
    finished wheels











    So there you have it, some products for you try
