[Healeys] Cleaning wire wheels

[Fred Wescoe]

John and Judy,

For many years I used "painted wheel cleaner" on my painted (BJ7) wires.  I
scrubbed them with a long soft bristle brush and then sprayed them off with
a wide spray (reduced pressure) pressure washer.  Never an issue.

Now, on my BJ8 with chrome wire wheels, I use "Meguiar's Hot Rims Chrome
Wheel Cleaner".  You simply spray it on the wheel and then hose it off.
Just a hose and household water pressure.  Once a year I pull each wheel
and check the brakes and the condition of the tires and wheels.  While the
tires are off, I clean both the inside and outside of the wheel with the
Meguiar's and a very soft bristle brush and simply hose them off.  I
watched Allen Hendrix use the Meguiar's when he did my wheels and tires and
it really worked well.  That is the only stuff he uses (I have no
financial interest in Meguiar's or Allen's operation).  I was impressed
with what I saw and it is all I use.  My wheels sparkle and I get comments
on them.
