My gloss black wheels look awful
I just had the car cleaned but I think it's the brake dust that's ruined the gloss shine
It now looks more grey/matt black than gloss
What's the best product for cleaning alloy wheels? and getting the brake dust off?

Many thanks,

Andrew

It's not the dirt really, just can't get the shine back they had when they just got coated

hi mate,

when you get rid of the dirt,use Rim Wax to protect your alloys from dirt,brake dust.

I have tried it on my alloys and it worked great.
It is easy to apply as well..
