Re: Sand and wheels

Post by turbotim2 »

It doesn't seem to matter if I am leaving the garage or going home after work and the car has been outside all day. The snow sort of fills in the voids between the "spokes" then melts once inside leaving the sand/salt on the inside of the rim. I have been able to get it using a screwdriver without taking off the wheels, a hose wouldn't get it.
