song77 2nd Gear May 15, 2018 Share May 15, 2018 (edited) Hi There''s always a layer of dust on rims. No matter how you wash, within one or two days, the rims look sleepy again. Unlike Tyres or Car body where you can maintain a shine even after 5 days, rims is a component that always look dusty. What solutions and methods would you recommend?
