Hello Folks

               Would it be safe or very stupid to use wonder wheels cleaner on M3 wheels? Im one of these freaks that hates dirty alloys and tend to use alot of this stuff. If its a bad idea, is there anything else out there that cleans as well but wont come time damage the wheel?

Mark

Soon as you get car take alloys off and clean with soap and water

Then coat them with around 3-4 coats of

Then every time to wash car clean alloys with soap and water and towel dry

If needed apply more wax

You could even give them a top up now and again of your favorite car Polish if you are polishing your car

Yeah don't put the acid near them Mark, just wash them regularly and keep them looking pristine with wax and sealant.
