    Hi all,

    The oil marks on my alloy would not come off, I tried using muck off kit but that never worked, I even did some elbow grease but that too never came off.

    Can anyone recommand any product or advice on how I can remove the oil marks?

    Will try and upload pics 2moro.

    Might seem a little straight-forward, but a little T-Cut on a damp cloth should shift it. You'll need to seal the alloys on completion. Can't go wrong with a couple coats of Collinite or Meguires Carnuba wax.

    Thanks spartacus,

    Never thought T -cut can be used on alloys!!!

    Will have a try, but im going to refurb my alloys as the n/s one is badly kerbed and on the spokes.
    As soon as I get a job (fingers crossed).

    It's a petroleum based cutting compound. The alloys are no different to the bodywork. Primer, colour-coat, and top coat (lacquer). Oven-baked, etc.

    Make sure alloys are washed before working on them - and use a damp cloth with a small amount of T-Cut. Buff off, then apply a couple of coats of wax. Job done.
