I had a few scuff marks on one of my rims from rubbing against another tire in a collision, and for a while I tried but couldn't clean it off. The rubber marks had baked on, and I had some baked on brake dust as well.

Today I used some of that orange hand cleaner stuff on it, and it works wonders! Marks and brake dust just break down and come off with a little rubbing.

Hope this helps anyone that has similar problems.

 

orange hand cleaner stuff...

i use that peachy stuff on my car after a wash... and it works EXCELLENT!

 

Doesn't that orange hand cleaner stuff contain pumice?

 

im pretty sure that gatorade looking stuff doesn't, but it sure cleans off my wheels after motoring.

 

What's it called -- the gatorade looking stuff?

 

never tried this before..but will give it a try on my next wash..

 

nice idea....i'll try it as well.

 

Every great idea you've ever had...Ken's already thought of it first.

He's like the Chuck Norris of OCDetailing.

 

Actually, he's more like the Hammer of OCD Detailing - but without the foam sponges.

 

Ken would have kicked the a** of those bikini girls for getting swirls in his paint.

 

i was looking at their wash sponge and was like NOOOOOOO~~!!!

 

Thanks I'll have to give it a try! The Crown Spokes have some burnt on brake dust that needs to come off and nothing has worked yet.

 

I can hear it now...

"I'd like one topless car wash, please. But please don't touch my car."

 

The one on the right was using two buckets...
