BMW.KMY 2 Report post Posted March 30 (edited) Hi all, testing my luck here... Does anyone know of a tried and trusted fix to get fid of these little black tar buildup bumps on my alloys? They are definitely too stuck in there to scrub off with a sponge and soap... I have also tried to scratch them off but they end up damaging the alloy itself, please see pic for reference Thanks Edited March 30 by BMW.KMY Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok thanks I will give it a go! I don't think it's pitting, as its mainly on the front alloys.. seems like previous owners let some road residue/tar sit there too long if that makes sense Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
