rim care
i have the original rims on my '92 gs, anyone know if they are/were clearcoated?<p>they are fairly dirty and i can't seem to clean them up very well, any tips for removing the black specks that seem baked on?
Re: rim care
its probably brake dust. take a wire brush and scrub at em, then use mothers aluminum polish to shine em up<p>-Abs

Re: rim care
i thought you were not supposed to wire clean alloy rims?
Re: rim care
Ask for 'Autosol', it works really well as getting brake dust off the rims.

Re: rim care
i tried autosol (great on our headlights) but it did not help my rims.
i tried a semi stiff brush and that also did nothing.

Re: rim care
I use just lots and lots of rim cleaner and get in there with a rag and a tooth brush. ![Shrug :shrug:](./images/smilies/shrug.gif)
