        I clean mine no brushes a couples of times a week and polish with poorboy once a week .Each wheel treated the same ,but each has different amounts of corrosion.I have put some of my wifes clear nail polish over spots until I can sort something more perminant.

          Err.. yes? I have pride in looking after my belongings unlike most. A car is the second most expensive thing you will buy in your life time so why not treat it correctly. I clean mine twice a week minimum, my wheels have a durable sealent on them so a power wash taks 90% of the dirt and brake dust off, then i use a weak shampoo solution to clean them. Stops corrosion and also means i drive around in a clean car.

                    But you dont buy kids lol, but they are an expense but not as expensive as cars.
                    I've had quite a few cars with monthly payments and I can tell ya they cost alot more than kids lol

                            Hmmm, I thought that this might turn out to be a widespread problem - it'll will be interesting to see if Citroen stands behind it's products and replaces all our wheels FOC.............with a fix to ensure that it doesn't happen again with the replacements!

                              I plan to use this stuff on the DS3 when it's delivered. If the wheel actively repells water then it is less likely to corrode. This company is not something you see on QVC either. They started out making special nanotech coatings for super yachts.

                                yes all well and good but my wheels have not even got wet!!!! and their is still corrosion!! all my wheels have seen is a damp microfiber cloth to remove brake dust..!!
