Don't tell Andy but on Sunday I cleaned the wife's car with a Karcher with a brush attachment and the world did not end!

No it's definitely spelled "Polish bloke with bucket and cheap sponge working at a dis-used petrol station with a fag in his mouth".

999 Emergency - which service do you require ?

Hi, please can you send a trauma unit to Andy's house - I think he may be lying on the floor convulsing after reading this

Ahem... Haha!

I might try a microfibre first before ordering more brushes. Does anyone know if there's anything dangerous behind the wheel if I stick my arm behind and try clean the insides that way? I'd never hear the end of it if I chopped my arm off cleaning an alloy...

I have before now driven the car wheel onto a kerb, lay under the car and cleaned the back of the wheel that way. Was extremely effective actually. Just watch out for any sharp bits on the caliper.

[lfcrule1972]

You should be ok Charley, I don't recall any sharp pieces on the calipers, you just need to go careful to avoid snagging your hands behind the wheel

Wheel woolies are the way forward 😃

[Charley]

Well, using a microfibre cloth I got the backs of the wheels and spokes nice and clean again. Unfortunately there's something sharp on the front wheels and I sliced my thumb. Not bad enough for stitches I don't think, but I have a shoddy immune system and I had lots of muck on my hands so I'll need antibiotics and they'll probably steri-strip the cut back together too (it's quite deep, and about 3/4 inch long). So I'll have to be more careful next time - although I'm happy with them now

after having a lengthy conversation with andy i ordered this http://www.amazon.co.uk/UF-Caliper-S...=wheel+wollies have used it twice and its great for getting at the back of the spokes and the more hard to reach parts of the wheels.

At a guess i would say you sliced your finger open with one of the wheel weights as i have noticed that mines have sharp edges on them. Not good mate hope it doesn't get infected

Sorry to hear my technique caused you an injury :P I always find the back wheels effortless, and the front ones are a little more tricky due to larger calipers.

Anyway I'm happy with the results I get, hopefully without causing too much damage to the alloys (...or myself!)
