Hello,

I have Carrera S wheels in Satin Black and the inside of the wheel are impossible to clean!! They dry brown after scrubbing and cleaning. They look like poop. They have for months now. My car is 1.5 yrs old with 18k mi.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? The black wheels only look good when the insides are clean too. I'm thinking I should have them refurbished by the wheel repair shop?

Any ideas or feedback?

Thanks guys,
DRP

 

I had satin black HRE wheels on my previous 4S. I used Dr Beasley's cleaner for matte wheels. It was recommended by another Rennlister. Worked amazingly. Once clean I coated them with Gyeon Q2 Rim. You can Coat them with any good finish to make them easier to clean.

 

This is depressing was about to paint some this color! Have you seen any blue-ish tint to the black(s)? Anyone tried Sonax? it seems to work well on brake dust?

 

I Have the same problem, ammorall them with a suitable material from chemical guys and the brown goes away. this is a common problem with black wheels, after a few years it is impossible to get them clean

 

They cannot be worse than the Silver version of the same wheels, right? I mean brake dust will be apparent on both but it must be less noticeable, at least at first, on the black ones.
