Thank you for your most excellent post, gmg.
It would seem that regular wheel removal is required for 'grease servicing'. That being said, and as most wire wheel owners know, the only way to keep them clean is to remove them. A back breaking chore! It's also a concern as the manual states that the car should not be jacked up (on a single jacking point). I suppose this is because the bonded aluminium chassis of the CX cars could potentially twist. So, the only solution is one of the total car jacking systems that lifts the entire car using all four jacking points simultaneously. All well and good (not to mention expensive and yet more stuff to store!) until a dreaded puncture manifests. This is the very reason I elected not to have a spare wheel!
So, do any wire wheel owners have any good tips for polished wire wheel cleaning that doesn't involve wheel removal? There are many spray on solutions out there but I am reluctant to try them after an Autoglym technical chap told me a story about their wheel cleaning product and polished wire wheels which didn't end well for the wheels (and proved expensive for Autoglym)!
Cheers,
Andy
