Proper Cleaning of Your Wheels and Rims

Following these simple steps will enhance the beauty of your car and
will help your wheels look great for years to come!

Cleaning Wheels with a Painted Finish
When cleaning your new wheels, we recommend that you refrain from using
chemical wheel cleaners. Many of them contain caustic chemicals that can
damage the clear-coated finish by clouding it or even removing it.
If you wash your vehicle on a regular basis, there is really no need to use
them. When washing your vehicle, start with the wheels first. Try to wash
them when they are cool, not after a long drive. The brakes heat the wheels
up, making them difficult to clean and dry and you can warp your vehicles brake
disc rotors if rapidly cooled with water. Since the finish on your wheels is
similar to your vehicle's paint job, use a mild detergent that is designed for
use on automotive finishes. Use a washing mitt or a soft sponge. Never use any type
of brush or abrasive pad as these will scratch and damage the finish. Since the
finish of your wheels is similar to your vehicle's paint job, it is a good idea
to wax the exposed areas of your wheels 3 to 4 times per year or more if you live
in a harsh climate. This will maintain that new look longer and will help keep
road grime and the elements from damaging the finish of your new wheels.

Cleaning Wheels with a Chrome Plated Finish
The same rules apply for chrome plated wheels as for wheels with a painted finish.
Chrome plating is more delicate and does require more care. You may wish to clean
and wax them more often. Be sure not use any abrasive chrome polishes as this
could scratch the chrome plating. If you live in a climate where road salts are
used in the winter months, we recommend that you remove your plated wheels
during this time. Chrome plated wheels will rapidly pit and become cloudy
when exposed to road salt for any extended period as the salt contains
chemicals which breaks down the finish on this type of wheel.
