day off work and wheels where looking rather dirty and stained so.....

one set of dirty "white wheels"



jack the car up (i had both off at the same time because i was swapping front with rears)

used the pressure washer on them but it did nothing and i dont find wheel cleaner that good tbh.
so i used a wet sponge and some t-cut to get all the crap off them, works a treat and removes the stains aswell


dried em off with a chamois. polished them up with tcut again and waxed them


tyreshine to make em look fresh

and finished result


shame they'll be filthy again soon

I wax my wheels with Gum Wheel wax and the dirt barely stays on the wheels and takes no more than a rinse to get them gleaming again.
