Re: Cleaning rims

[Big Jim <cyng@lamere.net>]

Casey,
   I have, in the past, used Zymol's rim care stuff (Zymol is a good car 
care products brand). It works pretty well. After a decent cleaning of 
the rims (at a manual car wash or in your driveway with the hose and a 
soft scrubber), let them dry. Apply the spray-on goop. Let it sit for a 
minute. Then use the provided soft-bristle brush on the rims. Yes, it 
takes time and elbow grease, but it works pretty well for me.
