Brew, what is this citrus orange you are speaking of? I have been looking for a good wheel cleaners that isn't an acid based cleaner (not good when it gets in the eyes

) and where did you get it?

JiveMasterT · 04-02-2007, 03:21 PM

Yeah Brew - do you mean like orange glo or something? How did you use it?

Peleg - what do you recommend for wheel wax (I didn't see if you mentioned anything)

BrewPubeaver · 04-02-2007, 08:47 PM

basic all purpose citric based cleaner. spray it on, and let it sit why you wash the car, then respay as you go over the car, then when it comes to cleaning the actual wheels i will use the meguires all purpose wheel cleaner(purple)

as far as wheel wax goes, i have only ever used the brand wheel wax. works great

I'll vouch for the orange cleaner.

Don't laugh, I use it in the kitchen and to clean computers.

I'd be willing to bet this would be a great engine degreaser as well.

For the headlights, I used a fine polish and the 4" pad on the porter. Do this after you wash and dry the car.

There should be some before/after pictures of my integra headlights in one of the first pages.
