Maintaining the cleanliness and protection of your car’s wheels and tires is crucial for both aesthetics and performance. Calgary’s unique climate, with its mix of snow, rain, and road salt, can take a toll on your vehicle. Here’s a comprehensive guide from Masters Auto Cleaners to help you keep your wheels and tires in top condition.
1. Gather Your Supplies
Before you start, make sure you have the following:
- Wheel cleaner (preferably non-acidic)
- Tire cleaner
- Soft-bristle brush
- Microfiber cloths
- Tire protectant
- Water hose or pressure washer
2. Rinse Off Loose Dirt
Begin by rinsing your wheels and tires with water to remove loose dirt and debris. This step prevents scratching during the cleaning process.
3. Apply Wheel Cleaner
Spray a generous amount of wheel cleaner onto the wheels. Let it sit for a few minutes to break down the grime. Use a soft-bristle brush to scrub the wheels, paying special attention to hard-to-reach areas.
4. Clean the Tires
Apply tire cleaner to the tires and use a separate brush to scrub them thoroughly. This helps remove any built-up dirt and old tire dressing.
5. Rinse and Dry
Rinse the wheels and tires thoroughly with water to remove all cleaning products. Dry them with microfiber cloths to prevent water spots.
6. Apply Tire Protectant
Once the tires are dry, apply a tire protectant to keep them looking new and to protect against UV damage and cracking. Make sure to follow the product instructions for the best results.
7. Regular Maintenance
To keep your wheels and tires in great shape, clean them regularly. In Calgary, it’s especially important to clean them more frequently during winter months to remove road salt and prevent corrosion.
