Ive decided Im going to use Cquartz on all my vehicles' wheels, at least sooner or later. Remove the wheel, clean thoroughly, apply CQUK to exterior surface and potentially in the barrel as well, and then re-install.
I had the Accord wheels off since my snow tires are still mounted, so while they were still off, I took the opportunity to clean them front and in the barrel, and then apply CQUK. The car actually sheds a decent amount of brake dust... NOT to BMW 135i standards, but enough...
Here they are:
Im pleased, it made them slightly more contrasty (the black seems "deeper", and hopefully the clear coat is protected from crazing and UV damage a bit more. It was hard to get good focus on the circular machining lines in the bright areas, but they pop quite well in real life.
I was also surprised with how little balancing weight was required on these Michelin tires and (Kyocera?) OE wheels, when i was cleaning the barrels.
Guess I should apply CarPRO PERL or something now to the tires... They're looking kind of frumpy now...
