in the garage receiving some attention in the form of an oil change

Some sort of wheel sealant like that nano stuff might make them easier to clean? aparently with that you can just pretty much rinse them off

Change your brake pads to something low dust (I would recommend Akebono or Mintex). I did this on my e30 and it made a huge difference - will be changing the brakes on the MK2 to the same stuff soon, too (obviously not just to reduce dust but because they are now overdue for a refresh). I helps that it doesn't rain in Darwin at all during the dry season...

This VR6 is my favorite on here ATM - please don't change the wheels!

If you seal them up it will definitely help with the cleaning but wont help that fact that they are a b*tch of a wheel to clean.

You need to grab yourself something like a vikan wheel brush from carcare products to help get in all of those holes......

Car Care Products / Vikan / Car Accessories / Brushes & Mitts / Wheel Rim Brush Soft

I'd grab one of these ^^^ and maybe some nanolex wheel sealant which will help by minimising the amount of brake dust actually attaching itself to your centres.

@Domel cheers man im glad you like it, wheels will be staying for a while yet
low dust brake pads are a good idea but most likely will have to wait because it received new pads and rotors recently

@Silver Dub i might order one and try it out, im not one to spend more then 10 bucks on car wash let alone 20 on a brush hahaha
but if it helps the process of keeping RS's clean nice and easy why not

I dont miss cleaning RS one bit, and mine were still clear coated and a heap of rubbish compared to yours dude.
do you have anything on the polished sections?
