Step-by-Step Guide
Cool the wheels
Ensure wheels are cool to the touch before applying any product.
Pre-rinse
Rinse wheels with a pressure washer to remove loose brake dust and debris.
Apply cleaner
Spray Alloy Wheel Cleaner generously onto the wheel surface. Watch it turn purple as it reacts with brake dust.
Agitate
Use a dedicated wheel brush to agitate the product into the spokes and barrel.
Rinse
Rinse thoroughly with a pressure washer. Repeat if heavily contaminated.
Dry and protect
Dry with a dedicated wheel cloth. Apply tyre dressing to the tyre sidewall.
Pro Tips
Always clean wheels before washing the bodywork — wheel cleaner overspray on clean paintwork is a common mistake.
Use a dedicated wheel brush for the barrel and a separate brush for the spokes to avoid cross-contamination.
Apply tyre dressing to a clean, dry tyre — never spray directly onto the tyre as overspray on the disc is a braking hazard.
