Wheel cleaner for Kinesis wheels ?
Hello,
I recently purchased a 2005 Boxster S with Kinesis wheels and would like to know what type of wheel cleaner can be safely used on this type of wheel ? Also, does anyone have any experience with these as far as assembly/disassembly ? Thanks in advance ! |

Don't use wheel cleaner if you don't have to. Just wash them when you wash your car, with a separate rag or wash mitt than the mitt you use for your car. Wax the wheels with a cleaner wax whenever you wax your car.

and if you need help with working on the wheels, email me. I have photos showing how to put them together. Torque spec is 16 ft lbs on the nuts, do not torque the bolts.

SO, I washed them. And it helped. But the inner barrels aren't even close to clean. They aren't black anymore but they are a long way from silver, more kinda permanent brown if you want to know. Silly me, I want them CLEAN. What's next in the arms race?

Thanks JJ,
I cross posted over here for better hits. I don't know how you found both posts so fast. Everyone restores Fuchs, What about my SuperCups?

I've had much luck using regular household Silver Polish on my wheels.
