    Make sure you do the inside of the wheel as well, a lot don't and it builds up to a point where all the cold tea in the world won't get it off.

    So is there any secret to using cold tea? Or is it just a case of pour it on and wash it off?
    Cheers,

    Use a sponge and wash the wheels with the cold tea, then rinse off with water. Like Redback said though, make sure you clean the inside of the wheels as well.

    I was sick and tired of having to wash them every week, now I can leave them weeks on end and you can't tell they are dirty.
    I sprayed them with PlastiDip but you could get them powder coated if you want.

    Have had mine on for months, under all conditions including wheel cleaner and pressure spayed has not come away one little bit.
