Recommend me a Metallic Wheel Cleaner (please!)

I use Wonder Wheels, great on moving brake dust.

Traffic Film Remover. It's the stuff they was lorries with. Has to be diluted as it is slightly corrosive.

This thread is for the likes of farmers who would want to wash their tractors.

MHs are for living in, not for Prix de Concourse.

I keep the windows clean for the view, but the wheels work OK even if dirty.

Elbow Grease works wonders.

 

[Bandos]

You could try any cheap lemonade, I'm told it works great on wheels!

 

[Simon Meadwell]

Motorhomes are also for buying and selling. If I were buying a motorhome and it was covered in filth, I would walk away.

Bilt Hamber auto wheel. Recommended to me years ago on the Land Rover Freelander forum where I asked the same question, and it does a great job even on the most persistent brake dust…

 

[Oldrat]

I’ve used several products successfully over the years on bikes cars and vans.

But by far the easiest that I’ve come across is Bilt Hamber wheel cleaner.

Spray it on, wipe it over with a brush to agitate the dirt, that takes about 30 to 40 secs per wheel.

Leave for ten mins and hose off
Stunning results.

(And it’s a UK company)

This one? Always works for me, great for break dust grime.

It'll be a while as we're off to Shetland very soon, so I'll wait until we get back.
