Overview

This guide goes through the steps we used to wash our wheels and tires. Just as with most things, there are more than one way to wash wheels - this is the method we have evolved to after a number of years of testing various products and methods. This method is a balance between quickness, protection of the wheels and how well the finish looks.

When washing any surface that you do not want to scratch, the goal is to loosen and remove the dirt without pushing the dirt against the finished surface. It is the pressure of the dirt against the finished surface that cause scratches, much the same as sand paper against paint or wood. These scratches can range from light marring to deeper scratches - all causing an undesirable finish to the surface.
