Hi Guys & Gals

I have 11 Snowflake wheels and want to take the best 5 and clean them up to put on my ED wagon. What is the best way to clean the grime, scunge buildup and general waer and tear up to get them close to new-ish?

Cheers
RD

Petrol or Diesal or Even a Basic Degreaser, shampoo (car soap) will help clean them, and some elbow grease. sponges, soft brushes and pataince...
