William, Once you get them clean might I suggest installing a set of Don Steger's dust shields. http://www.deloreanmotorcenter.com/_w000010_wheel_shield.html Does a GREAT job of keeping the rims clean from brake dust. Now I rarely have to spend any extra time scrub'n the rims. Shannon Y 16506 ------------------- From: ComposerZelgadis@... Date: Mon Oct 17, 2005 4:28 am Subject: Cleaning the wheels Greetings, list. I have the older dark-gray wheels. They look good when kept perfectly clean, but look like total Hell when even slightly dirty. Anyone else have this problem? So far, I've been using soap & water with a toothbrush to get in between each spoke, but that's a real pain in the rear, especially since I'm one of those guys where everything has to be clean all the time. I have some spray-on, hose-off wheel cleaner, but it just isn't up to snuff (think it's made by Black Magic... and is just called "Wheel Cleaner"). I was wondering if someone knew of an easier way? I was thinking about pressure washing them, but that introduces a number of risks, including striking the tire, not to mention possibly damaging the finish on the wheels? Could really use a miracle product / great idea right about now! Thanks in advance! Regards, William F. #1366 __________________________________ Yahoo!
