I've got a set of C5 steelies, which after a work out around the 'Ring last year, have got a heavy 'dusting'.I eventually got around to giving then some attention the other weekend, but perhaps unsuprisingly, Autoglym Clean Wheels didnt touch it. Any suggestions? ________________________________________ Rallye-RNurburgring article |

Patio cleaner/brick acid works well. It's hydrochloric acid so don't get it in your eyes!! get it cheap from builders merchants and dilute it 50% with water.Nick ________________________________________ AKA nick on 205gtidrivers.com |

Hydrochloric acid on C5 alloys? Rather you than me!There's some stuff called Iron-X that's mean to convert iron oxide dust from brake discs and pads, never tried it myself though. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments. Half cages right up to complete custom spaceframes - MSA/FIA spec, CDS, ROPT, T45, etc - PM meEmail me! Custom-made polybushes available - need an odd size or fitment? - anything from batch work to one-off pieces. |

The brake dust will not come off the front wheels at all. Looks like he'll have to redo them ________________________________________ Phase 2 Blaze GTi6PS3 - Black Ops 2 Engine crane for hire Renfrewshire |
