I honestly thought those wheels were bronzed!

“Salvaging” is a pretty strong word considering the final results. They look a million times better, but they don’t look salvaged.

I will never understand how people neglect their vehicles so much. Being a car enthusiast, I know I'm in the minority of the vehicle-owning population as far as car cleanliness (perfection) goes, but at least send your car through an automatic wash once every month or 2.

I do basic detailing. Started using that system to get wheels cleaned up. Friends and clients love it. Thank you for sharing.

You need wheel acid to remove that caked on gunk.

You didn't use iron/fallout remover

Legend says he’s still adding soap to this day

The wheels Mercedes introduced in the late 70’s were something to clean! You do a great job.:)

[sjkborn]

Man I was waiting to see something amazing. I honestly thought by the grace of Odin, you were gonna get those things spotless.

legend says still trying to clean this wheel

[junito]

When you take a shower and and you leave your nails full of dirt 🤦🏻‍♂️😂 brother, finish the cleaning…don’t be lazy !! 🧼

Purple power can take off the brake dust in that final result. That way it’s look fully restored

[jasonharris]

It's always the Dodge wheels that are always the nastiest because the nastiest people own them. Ever heard of rotating your tires every once in 8 billion miles.

I bet your customer was pissed that her rims weren’t gold anymore

[timv]

Dude that Wheel Cleaner really sucks ....

[CarBleach]

those residual stains are from brake dust i’d assume so some mguires all wheel cleaner with iron in it should make EASY work of it

[DarkminiStoned]

You can take off all of the residue but it takes a shit load of time and a really high ph mag cleaner. I did one couple weeks ago and it was a pain lol

[mumihp]

OK thought the wheels was bronze and it wasn't too bad, but jeez, so dirty to be a completely different colour

[Hotpack]

Here in Germany we have "AluTeufel" (AluDevil) and after 3 passes even these Rims will be like Brandnew. We used it on burnt in Mercedes Rims. BUT: Only useable with long sleeve Gloves because that Stuff is so incredible Acidic your whole arms will Itch. Afterward thouroughly rinse and everything is fine.

Should of used an Acid cleaner or brightner would of restored them to their original look from all that break dust.
