This step-by-step guide on how to protect car alloy rims will leave them free of any unwanted dirt, grime or corrosion.
Things you will need
WD-40® Multi Use Product
Soft bristled brush
Clean cloth
Bucket of warm water and car wash liquid
Step 1
Preparation
To protect car alloy rims, firstly, give them a good wash and remove any loose dirt using a Soft-Bristled Brush. Use the brush around the spokes to clear the wheel’s surface without scratching or dulling car paint or chrome finishes.
Step 2
Apply alloy wheel rim protection
Secondly, apply WD-40 Multi-Use Product onto a Cleaning Cloth. Rub the entire surface of the alloy wheel, focusing on any areas with remaining stubborn grime or brake dust. Please be advised this should be applied using a cloth to avoid getting any on the wheel or brake pads. Doing so could damage the brake pads and undermine the tyre’s performance.
Step 3
Rinse, wash, repeat
Finally, wash off any WD-40 solution with a hose until it becomes smooth. Now apply these steps to the remaining alloy rims on the Vehicle.
