dr_broon Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Cheers everyone. It's a bummer about the wheel.. I washed them before putting them away when they were in the car, but never got round to doing it properly and waxing them. The one that's got the problem was the one with the seized caliper, so it's probably loads of brake crap sick in the laquer. I've tried polishing it out with various things, and it's better than it was. Gong to take it to the place that refurbed them and see what they think.

Krzys Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Sounds logical if that's the case, brake dust is a nightmare when it's like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krzys Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Must admit it never crossed my mind either! Would that Bilbury wheel cleaner be any good Alex? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 ye maybe krys, @dr_broon what wheel cleaner do you use mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 I've got some muc-off stuff that I've had a few years. I've also got some halfords own brand stuff from yonks ago that i used last year coz i couldn't find the muc off.I did snow foam them this year after using the muc off (that's what is in the pics). Then use rim wax which is lush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
