    Wakefield Park dirt won't come off!!!

    Any one got any ideas to remove heavy oily mud off my enkei's?

    As some of you saw my little red DC5 got pretty muddy at Wakefield on Monday!!!

    I've tried mag wheel cleaner, degreaser and the gurney!!!

    It feels like something had corroded the powdercoat!!!! Spewing!!

    Any help would be great
    Cheers

      looks like they need a soaking with dishwashing detergent?

      then some elbow grease...

      are they genuine Enkei's?

        Hi Issac, nice meeting you at Wakefield. I just used a pressure washer gurney on my RPF1's and it came out pretty good.
        I'm the guy with the black DC5

              seems like its been baked on from the heat, like tink said let it soak with warm soapy water and itll come off with ease

                NO!!!

                Don't ruin your paint finish with any type of caustic Isaac.

                Try to remove the mud stains over a number of go's instead of trying to remove them in one hit.

                If you find soapy water too weak use a detergent based mag wheel cleaner ie non caustic/clearcoated wheels safe type of mag wheel cleaner from a decent brand.

                    I use Boiling hot water and soap to clean my wheels
                    No matter how dirty it gets, always come out clean for me

                        Warm water and soap is recommended for paint protection on wheels. I'm sure once its soaked you'll get it off easily.

                          I tried to gurney that crap off my car. Shit still has mud stains all over it.
                          I got grass all up in my sway bar and control arms that I can't get out with thr gurney.
