Original wheels on a 1983 300SD Turbo Diesel 126 body
Hello to all.
Does anyone know the best way to remove all the brake dust on these original wheels? Is there a good product out there ? Regards Dan Vancouver Canada Last edited by Bens lover; 03-02-2006 at 01:39 PM.

soap and some good scrubbing then you could get these from the fastlane shop.

Is the bomb...
http://www.greased-lightning.com/ Spray it on, rinse off. Minimal scrubbing needed. be careful on painted surfaces...this stuff is ruthless

Griots
I have switched to the griots garage products. Far superior and will not damage clear coated wheels.
If they are dead - clear coat and paint gone, the easiest thing to do is have them bead blasted then primed, painted and clear coated. Did all four of mine for $200.

Just use a good car wash that does not strip wax and a soft mit. Will clean them like new and wont hurt the finish.

BTW on my brand spankin new 16's, (painted w/ clearcoat) I use the car-mit with just car soap.
For wheels that have had a "hard life", use the stuff I mentioned before if you are not worried about paint
