Recommended Wheel Care Instructions
Wheels require regular maintenance to retain their factory finish and notable appearance. Wheels that have been neglected or improperly maintained will be void of all warranties.
Wheels should be cleaned by hand regularly to remove contaminants like road grime, salt, ice/snow melting chemical and dirt, which traps moisture and cause corrosion to most wheel finishes. Brake dust is highly corrosive and may cause pitting of the wheels finish. Household chemicals are typically too harsh for your wheels finish and should be avoided. A mild car wash soap or dish soap works best to properly clean your wheels.
Never clean your wheels when they are still hot from driving. Do not attempt to cool hot wheels with water as this may cause damage to the finish and can warp the brake rotors and/or drums.
Chrome Plated Wheels:
Clean chrome wheels when they are cool to the touch using a mild car wash soap or mild dish soap and water. Dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent spotting. After cleaning, apply a coat of soft non-abrasive cream wax or wheel polish to seal the wheel and prevent surface corrosion.
Painted, Machined, PVD and Clear Coated Wheels:
Clean painted, Machined, PVD and Clear Coated wheels when they are cool to the touch using a mild car wash soap or mild dish soap and water. Dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent spotting.
Polished Aluminum Wheels:
