Brake dust / tar residue

Does anyone elses alloys on a GPS suffer from really bad brake dust / tar residue after a thorough cleaning?

I've been scrubing away at them with a toothbrush but it still wont shift the sodding small spots of tar - not happy!

My wheels need a clean every other day.....but never experienced this. The joy of Supaguard

Get some Auto Glym "Tar and Bug Remover" and use it on the tar spots.

Ive got my car superguarded but I still get this.

i dont get this on my car

Depends on the weather and roads. When it gets hot the tar starts to get tacky and you get little spots of it on your wheels and body from it flicking up in the air.

And so many people laugh at me......But this is why I clean my wheels once a week rain or shine.....including the inside bit......I put some cardboard down and lye underneath it to clean the inside of the back wheels !! but then of course I'm "Mad" - Coat them with wax every 3 months too - helps a lot.
But they do look great.....like new after 14 months.

Mine just wipe clean. I never cleaned my car for about 4,000miles. Doing only country roads and motorway....just wiped clean. Think you should go and get it re-done

Nah its fine thanks.

the dealer wont have superguarded your wheels or unless you have done it yourself.supergaurd is only applicable to the paint work and the interior.
even supergaurding the wheels isn't any different to polishing them.it wont make any difference.your wheels don't stay cleaner than anyone else's wheels

Finally someone who knows what supaguard is.

A good way to waste some money

depends if you got it for free or not

yeah....£250 was was taken off me so many moons ago even after 21months i can still smell it in the interiorits only certain motor groups that promote it parks, evans halshaw,looked at a options list on a coopers S the other day on a forecourt s-gaurd was £350what a CON

That just about did the trick.

I think I'll have to invest in some Bilberry wheel cleaner though before applying two coats of wheel sealant (either Chemical Guys or Poorboys).

Superguard is not a con, A tad expensive as a dealer option yes. Its best on the exterior paint work, my 05 Punto Sporting's paint still looks brand new with no swearl marks and very few stone chips for a car coming up to 50k. And I don't need to polish as its pointless .

Glad its done the trick .
