Hey whats up everyone,
Anyway, I just want to know if it is bad to leave dirt, brake dust, etc. on rims? I got high gloss black with a polished lip and they have been dirty for about a week and I havent had a chance to clean them yet. Is this bad for the finish? I just want to know, so that I don't destroy my new rims.

Also, is it bad to use special rim cleaners on aftermarket rims? Ive read somewhere that to only use the cleaners on OEM rims.

Thanx in advance

Not really. It will just make them more difficult to clean

 

The answer is yes, leaving brake dust on your rims will cause galvanic corrosion. Learn how to clean them here.

 

yea, you don't want to leave it dirty for too long. wheel cleaners won't do any harm.
