I love Simple Green (pics)

[Bwana]

I bought some used rims to put my snow/winter tires on, and they were EXTREMELY filthy...like, baked on brake dust that wont come off even scrubbing with A2Z, they just wouldnt come clean.

This pic is after i A2Z'd them, then washed with gold class.



They wouldnt clean..as i said. :scared

Now, i sprayed some Simple Green, straight up, on to them, and let it sit for about 45 seconds. After just wiping down with an old MF, this is what they looked like:



Simple Green...i love you.

Oh yeah...I then went over them some some Klasse, for protection, but it didnt really change the way they looked, so i didnt take a pic.

Nice. I assume you sprayed on the tires too.

Some people say simple green will damage your rims. I've been useing it for years now and havn't had a problem. Just letting you know it may or may not damage certain rims.

I agree.

I learned THE HARD WAY that Simple Green etches and destroys the clear coat on aluminum wheels. SG dulled and destroyed the clear coat on my 1991 Nissan 300ZX years ago. Never again.

Also, notice the white corrosive layer it leaves on unpainted aluminum engine parts.

Not worth the risk, IMO. There are far safer products for cleaning wheels.

look like old Probe GT wheels?


(I use to have a 95)

They are old Probe wheels. . They were cheaper, and more available then the stock ones, and look relatively the same as stock.

I really dont care about the finish on them, as they are winter rims. The thought crossed my mind, but once again...i dont care about the finish, i just wanted them clean.

[Bwana]

The tires were just over spray, didnt put anything on them or even wipe them down :

I might have to get some of those old probe wheels for winter driving.. they look pretty good for the price

Simple Green contains muratic acid! Use very carefully. Don't say you were not warned.

Is the simple green automotive pictured any different than regular simple green?

I use Orange Blast instead of Simple Green to good effect. I also use it on the tires to take off Meguiar's Endurance when it starts building up a greasy film.
