    I tried to clean my valve stems with Googone and a tooth brush, and not very happy with the results.
    This car is only 6 months old, the wheels look brand new except for the valve stems.:shead:
    Thanks

    Valve stems on the wheels? You should be agitating them with a wheel brush and the wheel cleaner while doing the rest of the wheels.

    New ones are cheap, and then you have a fresh start on maintaining them :thumb:

    Spray some APC or wheel cleaner and agitate with said toothbrush, cuts grease, brake dust, debris.

    Yeah some APC or wheel/tire cleaner and a toothbrush should do the trick. Also, you could apply some type of rubber dressing to help maintain them.

    They are gonna be TPMS, he mentioned in the initial post that the car is only 6 months old.
