Or a decent wheel cleaner. I've tried a few cheaper ones and they were naff though. Wonder Wheels is awesome, but not cheap. And its a fiddly process. Personally I use the spray oven cleaner! The one that foams up. And it makes your lungs close. Get some of that evil stuff on your wheels its awesome! Don't go buying the Mr Muscle one at £4 either. There is exactly the same stuff available at 99p! I will take a picture of my own one under the sink and post it. |
