Default I need cleaning tips for my LS mesh
I recently just bought some LS mesh for 280 and their really dirty. I don't even know why i bought them now So now i need some tips on how to clean off these nasty gunk and tar thats on the wheel. I have tried using Bug and Tar spray on bottle to get rid some it and it did help a little but the rest is still on it like A LOT. Help please?

Eagle one wheel&tire cleaner works great for me.

I do not recommend brake cleaner as that stuff will probably eat the protective coating on the wheels

fixed. ANd if he meant oven cleaner by bake cleaner thats even worse.

Turtle Wax Platinum Series Wheel Cleaner.

Removes brakes dust and axle grease caked on with little to no scrubbing. Wet it, let it soak for 10 minutes and brush it off with a wheel brush, rinse, enjoy.

Yeah, I got a bottle of that after the Bug and tar spray didn't work. The Turtle Wax worked like magic.
Thanks for the advice everyone.

I don't suggest simple green unless you want to wax your wheels everytime you clean them.
