Poorboy`s Subaru Wheel

Took off the front two wheels today. Washed them with Meg`s Citri-Gel, followed with PB`s Pro Polish, then EX, then topped with Wheel Wax. That should get them through the winter!!

Looks like you`ve been very busy

they came out real nice

Nice! Did the Citri Gel do much of the grime work? Or ProPolish?

Thanks for the compliments guys. I really wanted to get to them before the winter set in.

Woob - The Citri-Gel did a nice job on cleaning the wheels. I let it soak for abuot 10 minutes, then used a soft bristle brush and scrubbed the wheels. If you look at the first pic, in the upper left section of the wheel, there is some serious gunk. That was strictly ProPolish getting that off (and a good bit of elbow grease!!). If I had some 4* Wheel Cleaner or PB`s wheel cleaner, it might have been a little easier. But with 1-1/2 gallons of Citri-Gel sitting in my garage, I haven`t bought anything else for wheel cleaning.

Zesty - I knew I forgot something!! Should have PP`ed the lug nuts!!

It didn`t take real long to do the two wheels, plus I S&W`ed my car and added another layer of EX, so I had things going at different times. Definitely kept me busy for a nice November Saturday afternoon.

the shame!!! hehe just joking. thats something that always annoys me, whenever i do my wheels i cant seem to get certain crevices where the brake dust is worst, and the lug nuts always seem to be dirty. also, i feel that the back of my wheels are BLACK, but i cant reach them. ah, i guess ill have to do it the hard way, take the wheels off one by one...

And I even saved my wife`s old Crest Spinbrush to help clean the crevices!! At least taking the wheels off should only be a once a year thing. Kind of like spring cleaning. Definitely worth it, espescially if it helps in future cleanings.
