Aluminum Wheel Maintenance

~1min read

Aluminum wheels are protected by a clear protective coating.

- Do not use abrasive cleaners, polishing compounds, solvents or electric brushes on aluminum wheels. They may scratch or damage the paint.

- Use only mild soap or neutral cleaners and rinse thoroughly with water. Also, clean the wheels after driving on salted roads. This helps prevent corrosion.

- Avoid washing the wheels with high-speed car wash brushes.

- Do not use acidic cleaners. They may damage and corrode aluminum wheels with a clear protective coating.
