Default Two thumbs up for RAYS ENGINEERING

After weeks of rain I finally got a chance to give the car a good wash today.
While cleaning the wheels I found them pretty easy to clean with just a sponge.

My M3 took me forever to clean the wheels. The wheels on that car took longer to clean than the car itself. Blah!

This is possibly the easiest wheels I have ever washed in all my cars.

Thank you RAYS ENGINEERING for the great design!

Careful with 'black spots'. The black may actually be the first step of the HyperSilver painting process. Three parts: black, silver, clearcoat finish....

DO NOT SCRUB HARDER TO REMOVE THESE SPOTS!

These are most likely chips where the black base coat is showing through. Don't try to rub 'em out!

They could also be tar or brake dust, but be careful to make sure it's not part of the finish like the guys above said.
