Have you been using a strong wheel cleaner or has the wheel been refurbed?

I have never used the halfrauds stuff but I suspect it may be too strong. Does it make you cough when you spray it on?

Do you use wheel sealant?

BLEACH!!!

Only messing-dont really!

I had this brown tinge on one of my cars a while back and I used an industrial meachine cleaner on them and a toothbrush and a lot of scrubbing-in the end the hard work paid off!

I know what you mean though, the brown looks proper manky!
