Quik Tip Series - How to choose the right wheel cleaner...

Whether you car has factory or custom wheels, keeping them clean is an important part of the overall appearance. With a variety of wheel cleaners available, it is important to choose the right one for your wheels. Wheel manufacturers use a variety of materials to achieve different looks, and choosing the wrong wheel cleaner could damage your wheels. Meguiar's offers three wheel cleaners, designed to be safe and effective on each wheel type. Our Aluminum Wheel Cleaner is completely safe on delicate, uncoated polished aluminum and anodized wheels. Our All Wheel Cleaner is designed specifically for all factory coated wheels. And our Chrome Wheel Cleaner is the perfect choice for keeping those chrome wheels looking their best. To clean your wheels properly, let them cool down and rinse thoroughly with water. Spray a liberal amount of the correct wheel cleaner onto a wheel, and allow the foaming cleansers to penetrate for up to 15 seconds. For extremely dirty wheels, it may be necessary to use a premium wheel brush to help loosen stubborn brake dust. Rinse the wheel thoroughly with plenty of water. Now repeat this process on your other wheels. And don't forget to dry your wheels to minimize the chance of water spots. When done right, there's nothing better than a clean set of wheels on a clean car. For additional detailing tips and techniques, call our surface care specialists or visit meguiars.com.
