Park the vehicle in the shade. Allow wheels to cool. Hose off dust and debris.
|
Use soap, water and elbow grease to start removing built up dust, grime, and debris.
|
Getting out deep-down dirt is easier with brushes. Make sure the bristles won't damage finishes before getting in too deep. This one scrubs the tire as an added benefit.
|
Long-handled brushes can help prevent aching backs, and get in-between spots.
|
Bottle-type brushes can help remove dirt from spokes and brake calipers.
|
Chrome and polished wheels look similar, but require different care. Don't apply wax to chrome finish wheels, as the chrome needs to breathe.
|
One-step cleaners can be very effective, but be sure to test on a small area before coating the entire wheel.
|
Removing the wheel and cleaning the backside can add a higher level of detail to the vehicle. Scrubbing may be required to remove heavy deposits.
|
A clean wheel backside can make the front side appear brighter by reflecting light through the spokes.
