Cleaned my rims (way over due)

Grant it they are the stock ones but still. Man these things were DIRTY!!! Now I know I could have gotten them cleaned better but for only using a household cleaner

(Kaboom) I think cleaned them pretty nice.

Rear Rim

Front Rim

i cleaned my rims right when i got the car.. back in August.. so like yeah 6 weeks ago... lol I used Simple Green..

my99cavy · #3 10-01-2006, 08:08 PM

Yeah I didnt have any simple green so I used Kaboom, which I found also works VERY well for cleaning the outside of the mufflers to bring a nice shine and also works excellent for removing the black sut on the outlets of the mufflers.

I cleaned mine i think 4 times this year in 360 miles. I love mine becuase i can reach through them and clean the insides w/o removing the wheel.

^yeah well see your very lucky lol I have to take each one off in order to clean them good. PITA but the end result is worth it.

But I still think it makes its easier to take them off not to mention you can do a more detailed job when they are off.

Classicrocjunkie · #12 10-02-2006, 03:15 PM

^^ only if the spokes are wide enough, I hate skinny 5 spoke rims, looks too empty.

Ohhh I love Mr.Roboto's rims, I want them so bad. Wanna trade? lol
