Don't Use Wonder Wheels

[Coullio]

I pop in past my local car specialist today and planned on buying some wonder wheels for my IS200 Sport. I was told by my mate who is manager that wonder wheel turn your wheels yellow in time, this is due to the strength of the stuff. He advised me to buy Meguiars "Hot Rims Cool Care All Wheel Cleaner". So be warned. http://www.meguiars.com

Sorry can you move this to Wheels & Tyres

[wildrnes]

even better to use soap and water and wax your wheels

[AltezzaScott]

I`ve heard about what wonder wheels does to some wheels.... not good

I`ve always used Maguiers hot rims...... very good stuff, and piece of iss to use... lol

you can water it down, for less strength..

I been using wheel acid's for ages... and do one at a time and rinse with plenty of water.. can't leave it on too long..

I used wonder wheels on my saxo earlier this year and I was impressed as I went around the car until I noticed it had stripped the paint off the wheel nuts Looked a right mess....I felt (and I followed the instructions and didn't leave it on long)

I'll never use any of those type of products of my IS. Soapy water will do nicely.

Yes WONDER WHEELS do turn your wheels yellow in time,but only if you dont follow the instructions

i.e. you must never use on warm/hot wheels,you must let them cool down first.

I used W/Wheels for years and never had a problem :winky:

it also strips the paint off your brake disc hubs!

[Scorpion]

A high powered jet of water will do that to Lexus paint :P

wonder wheels is good if u have loads of brake dust on your wheels and havent looked after them for a while, but it shouldnt be used to regularly esp if soap will take the dirt off because it will take the lacquer off ur wheels. my advice try soap first and if it doesnt work, just use it where the dirt hasnt come off not all over the wheel

I have the refurbed wheels and have found that just soap and water does the job, but used to use the Autoglym alloy wheel cleaner which was always good - especially if I'd not touched them for a couple of weeks

[Monster-Mat]

never had any problems with wonder wheels

[Scorpion]

Wonder Wheels works fine if the application is correct......

I just drive through really big puddles-seems to do the trick and leaves nice brown go-faster decals up the side of the car too!
