Welcome back to Detail Garage.
We just picked up a 2008 Bentley and when we drove it back into the shop, we saw that
there were some flaws with the mechanical convertible top.
The wheels were filthy as well.
Unfortunately, we cannot wash this vehicle with water so we will have to proceed with
a waterless car wash.
On this occasion, we will start off by cleaning our wheels with our new Gerbil Wheel Brushes.
There are three different sizes.
There is the big head that is going to go deep inside of the rim, removing any brake
dust or contamination.
We also have a longer one with a slimmer head that is going to help us get in between the
little spokes and clean them up without putting any scratches.
We also have a smaller headed brush that is going to help us get in between smaller spokes
and the wheel lugs.
In our bucket, we have a little bit of Diablo Gel, which is going to help us prime our wheels
and our brushes so they don't go full dry contact into the rim and cause damage.
We are also going to be using a Wheel and Tire Brush which is going to help up agitate
the face of the wheels, removing any brake dust that we have embedded into the wheels.
Very gently, we are going to start off wetting the wheels to start breaking down some of
the dirt that we have embedded in the rim.
Just a little bit of Iron Decon is going to help us to break down the harsh brake dust
since these do have ceramic brakes, they are going to be harder to clean than any other
wheels because the dirt embeds a lot more into the rim.
We're going to let it sit for just a couple of seconds and as you guys can see now, it's
changing colors as it breaks down any brake dust and contamination without causing any
damage.
Gently going with a deep brush is going to help us clean deep inside of the wheel and
drum without causing any damage or scratches.
All these brushes are made out of wool, which is going to be very soft on the finish, yet
rough enough to remove the contamination without damaging the wheel.
We do not want to damage these wheels since they are Bentley wheels and they are pretty
pricey whenever you have to replace them or just get them repaired.
So, just very gently we're scrubbing our wheels.
We want to switch our brushes to the slimmer one with the longer head to get in between
the spokes.
Not just that, we also want to tackle the back part of the caliper, which is hard for
us to reach with any other type of brush or our hands.
Very gently, we're just agitating it and removing any brake dust stuck into our wheels.
Like I said, these brushes are not really hard and will not cause any damage.
They are very soft to remove any dirt easier than your standard brushes.
We are also going to be using the smaller one which is going to get into these hard
to reach areas, including the lug nuts.
It's very easy to get deep in here.
We are also going to scrub where we have our lugs.
Grabbing our Flagged Tip Brush, we are going to agitate the face to keep on removing some
of that brake dust that we have on our rim.
Then, very easily,
we are going to rinse them off.
As you can see, all of the brake dust that was caked on to our wheels, very easily and
very nicely got removed without damaging our wheel and putting any imperfections or damage
into the surface.
We also have to keep in mind that these wheels are not clear coated, they are factory finish,
so we do not want to use anything too abrasive that is going to cause any damage to the wheels.
We are going to proceed cleaning up the rest of the three wheels to make sure that we remove
all of the brake dust, get deep into the rims, and remove all of the imperfections very easily
without putting any scratches into the surface.
Not just that, we are going to make sure that we bring them back to the original finish:how
the car look s the first day it rolled out of the lot.
