    HRE Wheel Cleaning Suggestions

    Hi fellas, just ignore that the wheel is fairly dirty, does anyone have suggestions how to clean the white logo and white letters so they look like new again? Normal washing still leaves it looking a bit sad

    I'd use Adam's Deep Wheel Cleaner with a soft bristle toothbrush.

    Can we see a picture of the entire wheel? Did you buy them new from HRE? It doesn't look like n original finish more like someone did their own paint fill and its fading.

    I do! If you texted me around October/November, then I might not have responded. Broke 2 phones within a month. So I missed a lot of texts/calls. I can respond now if you wanna try texting

    Did you decide which wheels you are keeping and selling.

    They were made to order, I chose the colour scheme (gloss lip, matte centre, white logo/text) and Alex from TAG told me they were painted by HRE. I don't think their fading, just need a very good clean.
