These are from a friend's Wife's BMW at work. I mentioned I would love to wash and detail the car for them. It's a 3 series maybe a 99? Anyway, they put some winter tires on it for now, and I got to clean the summer tires and wheels up.........

These is the rear ones....... I havnt opened the bag for the fronts... Im sure they are worse than these!

I cleaned the tires and wheels in the bathtub hey it's 20 degrees outside:nixweiss

Nice work! :xyxthumbs Looks awesome.



I did the same for a BMW 325 for my mother's co-worker while she has winter tires on. I used A2z on the inside and out of the wheel, and EFHI on the tires. I followed with AIO and 4" pad on the pc and topped with Collinite. Tires got Armor All.



I like the dirty wheel on the oriental rug ;)
 
WOW! that looks awsome, want to do mine next?



I just did mine a few weeks ago, now I am putting layer after layer of SG every few days.

Sure all it would take a duster..... Yours look fantastic too!!:xyxthumbs
 
They came up fantastic :xyxthumbs ... that has to be the best way to clean wheels, take them off and do them in a nice warm bathroom ... !
 
What kind of brush did you use to clean the inner portion of the backside of the spokes?



I was going to try a toothbrush.

Thats "One" of the brushes I used, along with an old wash mitt.
 
got any pictures of the front ones? some bmws and benzs i see have really nasty front wheels, almost black! :eek:



looks good though. :)
 
I can't believe I found this thread today, I just did my rims a few days ago! They didn't look anywhere near as bad as the BMW ones, but they were quite dirty. I didn't have time to clean them before I put on my winter ones and they had been sitting there in the basement until I took them out of the plastic. Now, they are good to go! I washed with meguiars nxt wash, clayed with 3M clay using Meguiars quick detailer for clay lube, and then 1x AIO and 2X SG. Ill try and get pics up soon.
 
Looks great, reminds me I have to wash my summer rims, they are off sitting in my garage with last summers junk on them, hopefuly some Klasse as well.



same rims on my car, AIO works wonders after a MF app with some AZ.
 
wow, the inside of those wheels were pretty bad.



i think i am going to have to check out that sonus rim brite you used.



i thought i had the inside of my wheels clean :rolleyes:



now i am on a mission thanks to you :xyxthumbs

LOL, my wife would kill me if I cleaned rims in our bath tub. Time for a drop sink in the garage.

Besides I polished the whole thing after with AIO. It looks better than before I started.:woot:
