Traffic film remover is usually very harsh, not the sort of stuff I'd want to be using that often. If you are going to use it, I'd say maybe use some wheel sealing wax afterwards


I agree with you but once I cleaned the alloys the first time with Dymablast I just cleaned them every time I washed the car and they came out like new using standard Autoglym cleaner. The Dyma blast was just to remove the really ground in grime. Oh and by every time I meant once a week not once a blue moon ;D

TFR diluted 50:50 with water, none of this wheel acid that ruins the finish.

Also good for removing silicone around the car before paint.

Ryan, I dilute mine 4:1, saves alot of hassle as it's still strong and still goes a long way.
