GSA Black Rims

[BeemerBoy]

Anyone got any tips on what to use to clean the black rims on the GSA LC, got some staining on mine from road grime and don't want to ruin the finish by using anything abrasive, does anyone know what the finish is - paint, annodised ??

Anodised

I would use some silicon spray or Mr Sheen, first

Tectane SL 527 is great stuff for protecting them and keeping them looking nice and clean

There is a thread in the Hexhead section on the same topic and quite a few Tossers have used it to good effect.

Once you have cleaned and decontaminated your wheels seal them with something like Auto Finesse Mint Rims. Probably best to give 2 coats (allow 3 hrs between first and second coat) and then after just a hose down and normal washing should come up better than new. Since using this over last 12 months on my car and K1600 - jobs a good'un!
