    Takin' Care of Business, 135 Style!

    Ok, I recently purchased my 05 Msport and my summer set up was already off the car. My style 135's were in a very sad state. They definitely needed some love. Luckily for them, I really like to clean things.. Since its cold here I decided to set up shop in the kitchen and the living room! Lol



    YUCK!
    Center caps NOT! lined up with the M logo, grrr





    I realized after taking them out of the bags I would need to take them to the car wash first



    Knight Rider!?!?!?!?! Hahaha





    Alright, now it's time to get to work, I used some old
    Tooth brushes, steel wool on the inside barrels, and some citrus degreaser I bought for my bicycle.



    Takin' care of business..



    And the finished product!





    Well, that's it for now. I just have to wait around 4 months to put them on




    Alex

    The dirt and brake dust was baked on there so hard, nothing else was working. I just rubbed lightly and it started to come off.

    Looks great. Put a sealer (just like for your car's paint) on them and they'll be easier to clean next time.

    isn't the citrus degreaser harsh on finish?

    No, its not corrosive. It didn't do any damage to any finish on the wheels, or on anything else I've used it on either. I just mix it 50/50 with water in a small dish, scrub with a tooth brush. Then I washed the wheels with soap and water after.
