ok since i now have aftermarket rims compared to the stocks, should i use a specialty cleaner on them? of am i able to still use the same rim cleaner from meguirs that i've been using ( hot rims or something like that) yea i knew newb type question, but after spending the money wanna make sure i use the right stuff


thanks

 

honestly rinse off all the dirt first you don't want you carving in awesome scratches with dirt. secondly i use a new microfiber for every wheel, i'll go through 30-40 microfibers at a show so i'm probably a bit extreme but the most important thing with them is clean them every week. i used to clean mine every other day. basically just proper maintenance will do the job, if you don't like spending all the money for the meguires stuff go for just some awesome glass cleaner. that stuff works great as well

 

holy moly!! 30-40 microfiber towels!? what kind of microfiber towels do you use? im pretty sure you know which ones are the best?

 

i use cheap sams club towels, no need to pay for the good ones because i don't reuse.

 

thanks nebster, i'll prob start using glas cleaner once this bottle is up ( only reason i have it was a huge box of all meguiars cleaning and detailing stuff in a box for $15 at wally world)

 

HOLY **** ... !! 30-40 ??? ur crazy man !!

haha it'd be dirty before i got like 5 minutes home ( plus im no where near chicago lol)

 

yeah wow you're not anywhere near chicago

 

nope, that's why it sucked going to the libertyville show and not finding a do it yourself car wash lol. oh well i'll try the window cleaner on em after my hotrims cleaner is out and try claybaring my car

 

you might want to invest in a nice random orbital buffer

 

probably. i know i need painters tape to stick on the bumper/hood for traveling ( hmm to chicago, to stl, to indy, to kewanee, ect.... damn im traveling too much lol)

moist spring = lots of bugs this summer
