Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches North Central Washing the Svt

I finally got around to hand washing my new svt today for the first time, since the weather was nice and warm today. These cars sure clean up nicely. The stock wheels look great when there clean, although one of mine has a bunch of yellowish stains on it. I used wheel cleaner and scrubbed it quite a bit but the yellow wouldnt come off. Any Ideas on what i could do to clean it off.?

Not going to be easy... if possible... it could be baked on brake dust that has etched its way into the finish of the wheel.

That said... I have had a certain amount of success with the Car Quest All Purpose Wheel Cleaner in removing some stain.

Beyond that, I've had some luck with a claybar.

However, nothing has removed all traces entirely.

I echo James. Some of that stuff doesn't come off. No matter how much I scrubbed it and no matter what I used, there was still a small sliver of yellow/brown left on my wheels. Good luck.
