detailing wheels

murphman · 09-30-2011, 09:34 AM

Hoping someone from detailers domain or Adam's or just someone who has had experience with this issue can help. The Lonestar Edition Rams have fake chrome, its just a shinny plastice wheel cover. Does Sonax or Adamn's green wheel cleaner work on Plastic wheel covers to remove brake dust or are those products more for applying to metal.

I have used a clay bar on the plastic wheels which works but to get all 4 wheels back to perfect I will end up going through like 4 or more clay bars which isnt worth it so any wheel cleaner that will not destroy the platic would be great.

Thanks all

i dont think there's really any other way than to clay it. any polishing will burn through that coating quickly and end up black. so you're doing it right, i think.
