Default Wheeley impressed

I don't enjoy cleaning wheels. So anything that can help ( even my boy lol) is welcomed.

SWMBO commented that her Astra was in need of attention.

After an initial powerwash

I used some Auto brite Purple Rain fall out remover


powerwash off and then some Autoglym wheel cleaner.


And finally a quick going over


Have to say I'm pretty pleased.

Looks good, I might have to try some of that. Not a fan of cleaning wheels myself

I think the wheels look best with the spray on. Very funky and new age!

thing is Purple Rain is addictive, you find yourself seeing how bad you can get the wheels just to get the best 'rain' effect

Left the beer caps lying on the ground
