Just washed my furby vRS and realised that the green callipers I love so much are almost black at the moment. Does anyone have any tips for cleaning them? I don't seem to have any cleaning tools that will reach!

I find the only way to get at the calipers properly is taking the wheels off 312's and 16" wheels don't give much clearance for cleaning.

I use VIROSOL and a bunch of tesco value toothbrushes to clean both the alloys and calipers etc. Great product & cheap compared to other alloy cleaning products.

A google search tells you how popular it is.

I spray mine up with wheel cleaner then use a old tooth brush to scrub the dirt off. Bit easier though with octy alloys.

Changing subject of the thread slightly (though as the thread creator I'm entitled!), how much did it cost to colour the wheels mate? I totally love the matte dark-gunmetal effect.

They are finished in Satin Black from BJV Engineering

The work was done by the previous owner of the wheels at the above location IIRC it was about £100-£125 for the four of them.
