Hot Rims all wheel cleaner

Hi,

Has anyone used "hot rims" and what was the end result?
I was abit disappointed, never seem to take out the stain marks on my chrome rims, even with hard rubbing nothing what it did do is make the rim shine...

Try using some detailing clay on the rims then follow up with a wheel wax/sealant... might very well yield better results..

Using clay on a chrome plated rim okay?

try a wheel gel, the gel helps penetrate the baked on brake dust, if theres any cleatcoat protection on the wheels the hot wheels product will eventually eat through it so be careful

I thought Hot rim all wheel cleaner wasn't for chrome rims. I know what a good product you can get locally and works well, Eagle one all wheel and tire cleaner. Work good for me. Also have you polish you rim to remove and marring, water spots or oxidation ???

Meguires website says can be used on chrome....
Yes but doesnt seem to move the water spots and oxidation I have to use another polish...

Try get some NXT all metal polish or Blue Magic Metal polish. Both should work on you chrome rims and remove the stains.

After your done doing the polish. Try putting on a layer of sealant to protect the wheel from brake dust and other containments.

What sealant?

You can get some Duragloss 105 locally and put on three coats which might last you a month or you can get Poorboys wheel sealant and get three months as what I heard. Both would work

So with the sealant, I take it becomes much easier to clean your rims.
BMW brakes are shockers for dust

With my 3 coats of duragloss 111, It's is easier to clean. But again. Any wheel sealant doesn't last long.
