I hadn’t tried the citrus to pre wash, I just a used Wheels, undress and wheel foam. So with winter approaching I will add this step to my routine, 👍 DT
I’ve always pre washed alloys as I thought well if I’m doing the lower section of the car might as well carry on to the wheels, and now you’ve proven me right 🙌
Great video Nick. I always pre-wash my alloys, but I start with the back wheels first due to them being less dirty than the fronts. As a Volkswagen driver myself, I find my Polo's front alloys get caked in brake dust a lot quicker than I'm used to, with my previous posh but tired old Peugeot 206 Roland Garros. They have to be thoroughly washed and blow-dried every week to make cleaning easier and I don't risk scratching them. Undress is still my go-to for de-contaminating tyres.
Always good videos Nick, i will start using this procedure when alloys really dirty. Is there anyway to stop the brake rust? Annoying after cleaned and the rust all over the alloys
Yep, I'm a wheel pre washer either Yum Citrus or Yum Wheel Foam on my black alloys, or the last of my Bilt Hamber Touchless on the wife and kids cars. Then a good rinse.
I pre wash my wheels along with my paint with citrus or citrus infused snow foam or alkaline snow foam then use a wheel cleaner overlaid with a wheel shampoo in my foamer prior to any contact with the wheel with a brush or wheel mitt.

I didn't pre wash my wheels before but definitely something I will be doing moving forward 👍

Good stuff mate! This is what we like :D

drive up and down your driveway whilst lightly applying the brakes to remove surface rust
People pre-wash the paintwork - so why do they treat the wheels differently? ALWAYS pre clean 👍

Question for you, is there a dilution for using Wheel Foam in a hand foamer instead of a foam cannon ?
you can replicate the same dilution. But also try 100ml
