Tar and Carbon on Alloys

[Hugo_za]

Hey guys,

What do you suggest, other than taking the wheels for full refurb, in order to get the tar and carbon off the alloys?

I used Meguiars Hotwheels this morning, and it works ok...but the problem is that the dirt is so badly caked on that I have to scrub like a mofo to get them only kinda clean.

Should I get an acid based solution, or what do you all recommend?

Thanks

Try some sonax wheel cleaner or iron out something or other. Check on crazy detailer for the latter

Eucalyptus oil will dissolve the tar and Iron out should sort out the rest

Degreaser?

2 things I would try, both have worked for me on different wheels in the past.

1) it's called pink stuff ( lol) basically comes in a tub and like a jelly. Can either be pink and sone places sell a green one. Apply and leave 5 minutes, may require some light scrubbing.

2) There's a tar remover available from Auto Finesse. ...works like a bomb. I know Moe@crazeyridez stocks it.

Hope you come right.

Just make sure once you get them spotless to wax them again otherwise you'll face the same problems. I was using apc to clean my wheels and neglected to wax them after. Stuff stuck like crazy. Worth the 5 mins per wheel to wax them after. Saves alot of time in the long run.

Anyone care to post a video on obliTARate actually working.

I have some tar spin spread on the barrel of my wheels, which are pretty well maintained.

I have tried lots of elbow grease, and some products.
Neither seems to really work.

It seems i would have to use a full bottle on just one wheel, with a crap load of elbow grease.

I am after something that can be sprayed on/wiped on and dissolves the tar, light agitation and a power wash thereafter.

I don't want to use anything caustic or acidic so your wheel-safe suggestions are welcome.

Tar spot I know normal butter softens it up.
