Before and after wheel cleaning
Just picked up my 07 Black car today and after a mamouth drive back from Devon I got straight to work on the rather Manky wheels.
Before cleaning all four wheels looked like this, Yuk !!!!!!!!!
After some scrubbing
Now I can start on the rest of the car

Congrats on the new car, not a bad job on the wheels either though you could probably do with drying the water droplets before they dry themselves and leave marks ... I know I know anal. 
Oh i hope that is just a water droplet running down the six o clock spoke, or is it a big scratch ?
Anyhow, congrats again on the new car, looking forward to pics of the rest of your machine

These wheels do come up a treat but......... the inside rims and the back of the spokes are badly discoloured and no amount of cleaning with ordinary wheel cleaners will restore their original look.
I did read that somebody has painted/sprayed the wheel backs and inner rims black, after all they are in shadow and out of sight.
