Thread: Questions for BBS owners

    Default Questions for BBS owners

    Rogue and Sammm... this means you-

    I have never owned a wheel that was a bigger pain to clean than the BBS wheels on the 93LE. Has anyone found a brush that makes the job any easier?

    What do you know Rick, yours are so dirty they're black.

    Todd, I have a brush I reshaped to fit in the BBS's.
    Also use the least dusting brakes.

    They are a PITA to keep clean. I do have a wheel brush that looks like a short, fat bottle-brush....still nothing works better than an old rag, soapy water and your fingers.

    I used to use a toothbrush and water. Pretty simple...and it took absolutely forever! I think the job took me about 90 minutes after driving about 12-13 hours.

    15" BBS' are much easier to clean than the 14"'s. Spraying a wheel cleaner helps if they're super caked. I usually use the soap I washed the car with.

    FWIW, this Eagle One stuff works quite well. It's MUCH better than just about any other wheel cleaner I've tried.

    Have you tried the bufferstick? I used that on a friends Lexus that had ornate wheels, pretty good but it depends on the size of the holes you have I'd imagine.
