Wheel Repair
I wanted to give a plug to Mike at Velvet Touch wheel repair in Anaheim. I had some pretty deep curb rash and Mike fixed the wheel to a like new condition. I wanted to pass on his recommendation for cleaning. First, the 19 inch Sport wheels are painted (over a black wheel). He recommended no commercial wheel cleaners as they will eventually remove the finish. Soap and water alone will help preserve the finish. If you need something a bit stronger, then a dilute solution of simple green will work. He also recommended car wax be applied to the wheels to help reduce the accumulation of brake dust.

Okay, totally really picky, **** question. Will a cleaner/wax, like Meguiar's, also strip the finish? I am thinking it might help remove brake dust as well as waxing the finish.

Sorry to hear that. Maybe its the holidays? Their shop is actually located within Mercedes-Benz of Anaheim service department at 5395 East La Palma Avenue. I just drove into the service department and told them I was there for wheel repair and they sent Mike out. Cost was $125 a wheel. Don't know about the Meguiar's cleaner.
