    Cleaning RS4 wheels

    I recently purchased an RS4 and the wheeks are very hard to clean (lots of nooks and crannies). I used a polish that is supposed to leave a black residue but it does not. What do you recommend?

    This stuff is crazy! I was on the fence about it thinking ehh...there is no way this can work as well as they say it does. I picked it up to see if it would work for me and good god...the best 20 bucks I’ve spent on a detailing product hands down. This stuff is no joke, it will cut years worth of burnt on brake dust off with very little effort. I won't ever use anything else on my wheels that have been much neglected.

    well if you tried to polish them and it didnt leave a black residue, that is because your wheels probably have a clear coat over them. you cant polish clear coat, so you would have to strip the clear coat off the wheels in order to polish the aluminum.
