P-21S (gel) to the rescue! Posted by Larry West [Email] (#1140) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Larry West) on Fri, 2 Apr 2010 09:57:17 In Reply to: That F-U-G-L-Y brake dust..., Larry West [Profile/Gallery] , Mon, 22 Mar 2010 10:02:47 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Got in an order of the P-21S gel cleaner. Sprayed it on, let sit for the requisite 2 hours, and commenced to rinse & scrub. The wheels already look a whole lot better. Most of the crud is gone from the "public" faces of the wheels, especially that black ring . Still some that's just caked on to a couple of the wheels (it's easy to see which ones spent most of their lives at the front of the car...). I think now, the plan will be to take one wheel at a time off, and do the soaking & scrubbing. This will allow full access to the backsides of the wheels, and full access to the lug bolt holes.
Good thing, too that I got the refill size along with the initial kit. 4 wheels, and I'm nearly out of the initial amount.
Scrubbing was facilitated by a wheel scrubber from Griot's Garage.
Will post another photo soon as I can get them off my camera!
Wheel in my gallery. Will post shot of "cleaner" wheel later.
