Forged wheel cleaning

[Flatstick]

Hi,
Have been on a bit of a busman's holiday for the past 2 weeks working for Honda World Endurance in Portimao. Driving the truck and wheelman. Part of the job is stripping and cleaning the wheels after the pit stops - I have looked on here for the thread about your difficulties cleaning the forged wheels and thought I'd just recommend the Motul product that we were using (ps I'm not on commission from Motul!) - it seemed to bring them up like new after a week of testing and racing - I'll put pictures up of the product.

Great pics Flatstick, nice gig you had going on there! I use that Motul cleaner on my wheels, it does a great job and smells good too!

Great pics Flatstick and thanks for posting about the motul stuff, I will get some for my GSA wheels that have the same matt finish as the forged wheels. So does it taste good too lol.

and what sort of cleaning utensil do you use on the wheels with the above product?

 

[MacRR]

Yep thats the stuff, spray on, rub in with a damp cloth / sponge, sniff in(!) and rinse off

 

[Flatstick]

As above, I just used a rag to rub it in then buff it of with a clean one

Great pics Dean, looks like you had a good time mate. Did they finish on the podium?

Ye mate 3rd, and might be going to Suzuka for the 8 hour if the the others lad can't get time of work as they only need one tyre man out there. Was a lot to learn but got easy as week went on, fronts were 90c and 2.3bar and rears 100c and 1.4 bar

Nice gig, wish I had the time to do some of this.

Take a fan with you to Suzuka, as I hear it can be very hot out there.

BTW, are you doing either of the BMW days at Donington or Portimao?
