Car Forum / Mazda / Mazda Miata / June 2005Cleaning Alloy Wheels
What is the best way to clean severe accumulated crud on the Mazda alloy wheels that came on the original Enhanced Package early Miata. I checked with one of the restoral shops but they want over $60 per wheel to refinish. > What is the best way to clean severe accumulated crud on the Mazda > alloy wheels Eagle One Etching Mag Cleaner. It says "Do not use on polished aluminum or painted wheels" but I've used it *occasionally* for many years now with no ill effects to the painted wheels. Do not leave it on more than 20-30 seconds and scrub the major crud with a toothbrush.

The original poster may want to consider putting the car on jackstands and working on the wheels when they're placed flat. Prevents run-off of the cleaner and allows you to really see all the dirty spots. >I've had much luck with 'Simple Green' it's pretty serious and I like the >fact that it's biodegradable.
