I'm having big trouble keeping the inside rim (behind the spokes) of my wire wheels clean. One drive and the rears have what looks to be little rust pits forming throughout that area. I've used Mothe

Is it rust pits or is it surface specks? As another has said rust is unlikely to form that fast, and even if you clean it off it will leave the pit. If the surface is perfect after cleaning then it i

Jim, the rears typically pick up more dirt etc than the front - the rear wheels on my Audi are ALWAYS much filthier than the fronts. Perhaps whatever lubricant/sealer that was used on the inside of t

If it's flinging "surface specks" of sticky black fluid, I'd take a look inside the drums. A rear axle oil seal leak is a real mess, and can make the rear brakes lock up. BTDT. -- Max Heim '66 MGB GH

I use a hose brush dipped in a bucket of water to shift the grime and any grit from the areas it can reach, then a leather and MkI digit to wipe off the water and get to the areas between the spokes,

Hmm, looking at cars on the street I would say the opposite is generally true. Disk brakes generate more dust, and that dust is more likely to wind up on the wheels. Cars with 4-wheel disk brakes I s

Same here with both my cars. The pad dust from the heavier braking on the front is always greater than the road dust on the rears, although I think with Greenstuff pads this is much reduced. Even wit

I think Tom got Huck to do it. Unfortunately I think the ladies would be more interested in the finish of their nails than my wheels :o) -- Original Message -- Check out the new British Cars Forum: h

It was Tom all right, but he didn't suck in Huck, but several other of his friends, each time getting an apple or a frog or some kind of payment for allowing them to experience the thrill. Jay Donogh
