" Hello! My name is Jason. I am talking on behalf of expertvillage.com. Now I showed you how to clean the tires and now the rims. I told you when you spray degreaser on the rims, that will break down the grease and the dirt particles on there. Now however, that is not true all the time. You have build up within these lug nuts and size that degreaser just can’t, you know tough it out, break it down. So what you want to do is for your next step you get the all purpose cleaner that has some kind of amino acid into that, that is actually a kind of tougher on the degreaser but it can be kind of bad for your rim if you leave it on there for too long. What it does, it makes your rims kind of white because of the acids. So you want to spray this on the degreaser and remove it very quickly but however it does clean your rims nicely. What you do is simply spray inside these lug nuts and between the hard spaces that you just cannot get. You let it sit there for about two minutes and again you remove every dirt particle you have on there. Now you just simply spray with a high-pressure hose and remove everything. After that you simply get a cloth and you clean the rims with it and keep the rim shiny. Now this might sound funny but it works. To protect your rims, you also need to spray Armor All on it. That will protect it from the sun. "
