DaddyCee Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Hi All. Is it a BAD idea to clean alloy wheels (specifically RAYS Alloys) with a brush to remove surface dirt and then use megs hot rims to take of the remainder? Can you damage the wheel by doing this? If so can the damage be repaired? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RisingPower Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Rays are powdercoated iirc, should be fine. Personally though it's best not to let them get to that state. Incidentally it would be rinse with water to remove surface dirt, spray on hot rims, brush and rinse off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I always use brushes on mine. They're the Swissvax-style ones I got from Envy a year or so ago, they do a much better job than a wash mitt does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveRS Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I use brushes on mine, I use the budget set that Envy sells. You should be fine if it's soft bristles and has a plastic surround and not a metal one, otherwise it can scratch. Personally I think they do a great job especially getting into the tight spots. I did a clean recently and used brushes, should be in my posts somewhere........ viewtopic.php?f=11&t=59392 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
