sexybourbon 0 Posted December 5, 2013 Wonder wheels wont shift that **** bud , try some stuff called gunk ! Spray it on leave it then use a wire wheel on a drill or a wire brush to get the **** off Id say a gloss brush on would last better than spray paint aswell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carrots 1 Posted December 5, 2013 yer ive used gunk and jizer in the past just thought could save a few quid as ive got wonder wheels. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roger Blassberg 0 Posted December 6, 2013 Take it to your local east european carwash and have them pressure jetwash it. You don't want dirty oily water all over your driveway or in the drains. RB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
