Wonder Wheels - Before/After

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Since fitting the PF97 pads, my front alloys have seen better days!

These were some AFTER a clean with Bilberry from a while ago:

And one just before I used Wonder Wheels:

Then......after about 2 hours of elbow grease, yes 2 HOURS!.....I was left with this:

Much better!! There's still a few tough as hell bits in the corners I couldn't be bothered spending all day to remove, but other than that, very happy with it!

I certainly won't be using this very often, but it was great to get that thick layer of brake dust (and disc!) off.

I was a bit worried about using it, after hearing some horror stories, but as I have £120 of Halfords vouchers, what the heck!

Impressive results!

Much better.... It'll make little difference but maybe try sticking a good few layers of sealant on those whilst they are clean.

WW is good to give them a proper clean so than you can then properly protect and keep on top of them. Gave mine some WW, polish and then sealed with 2/3 layers of poorboys about 6/7 months ago and they're still looking great.

I've got some wheel sealant that'll be going on soon. I got a bad back after doing that lol! Another day.....

I hate cleaning wheels. Such a b**ch. I always hurt my fingers/knuckles. Good results. Not used wonder wheels in a while, mainly because I don't let my wheels get that stinking in the first place

Autoglym alloy wheel cleaner is good. It's pretty much the same but it's foamy so it clings on for longer

Neither do I much.

But that's not just brake dust, it's disc metal too. I'm pretty sure I did all that in one night. I fitted brand new HC discs, and the PF97s, then went out to bed them in.....and test them out

After they bedded in, when I braked hard (and I mean hard), they sparked like crazy, so that was all the disc going everywhere, and then stuck on my wheels All that crap has never budged since.

You wouldn't get that on 'normal' pads, it's those damn PF97s! But the stopping power is epic though!

Two hours is hardcore. I'd have jacked it up and taken them off if you were going to spend that long on it!

Good results though

I took mine off last time. Sod bending down to clean & treat them! Gave them the WW treatment inside too along with a seal.

cleaning wheels is the most tedious bit of cleaning for me lol

They look really good
