The weather has finally turned decent in Northern Ontario and I brought all my gear out today and gave my 2017 Chevrolet Silverado High Country a good thorough cleaning today.
A little background, I started using Adam's Polishes products last year and quickly became addicted. I have a pretty heavy supply of all kinds of Adams Polishes products now. I had great luck last year cleaning up my truck, it never looked so good from the wheel and tires up.
Today I followed my same procedure I've always followed since I started using these products to clean the tires, rim etc. It's the same steps Adam shows in the videos. The brake dust and sum of the grime came off, but there is still all kinds of residue on the rims. In the barrels of the wheels there are, what appears to be, balls of black tar. It also looks like some of that substance ran out to the outer area of the rims and it won't come off. I aggressively tried to clean this with Adams Wheel Cleaner, a Turbo Stick, wheel woolie, Trim and Lug Nut brush, and the wheel brush. No luck. I'm looking for suggestions on how to clean this up, it's driving me nuts.
Now, full disclosure, I did a lot of highway travel over the last few months and couldn't handle how terrible my truck looked, so I took it through a local car wash, which I now deeply regret. It wasn't touch less and I believe it used some sort of cheap sealant in it's final step. My paint is so scratched up and looks terrible. I will now have to invest in all the paint correcting equipment and supplies. Aside from those problems, is it possible I sealed some of this grime and whatnot to the rims?
Can someone suggest the best ways to try to take care of this. The truck is too nice to not have the wheels looking top notch.
Thanks Everyone
