Clean Dirt and flat tire and a small dent

[CachBMW330i]

I am tired of cleaning my rims from car brakes dirt and other black dirt. Is there a way to to clean the brake dirt away. they are really hard and hard to come off.

Also had a flat tire. saddest day of my life. how can i fix the tire. do i just bring into any tire shop to repair my tire with a nail in it. or just bring it into BMW.

One more thing.. damn got a dent at KMART. those bastard. get jealous of my beauty. BMW say will charge me 400.00 but the dent is really small. any chance of a cheaper way.

Thanks... everyone

Flat tire: Take it to a tire shop and if the nail is in the tread portion, they can plug it - no problem less than $20. The dealer would do the same and charge you big time. If the nail is in the sidewall, the tire is garbage.
The dent: If the dent is a door-ding, most collision shops advise the do nothing option. If its a true dent, a good collision shop should do this for $250 or less. Tell them its a cash deal - no receipt. Sometimes these dent are tough to get at because the inside trim panels are a bitch to remove - this always costs more.
Best of luck.

BMW offers a cheap dent remover solution, I had a bad one in the upper right side of the care and they removed it for $125

Good luck!

I have heard of this chemical called Rejex (www.corrosionx.com or 800-638-7361). I have never used it but it is supposed to form a protective layer on the surface. they say it can be used on painted surfaces also. It lasts 6 months.

Also, you should be able to find a local dent remover and pay under $100
