Step 2: Clean Wheels

What's needed:


Make sure wheels are cool and dry (water on wheels dilutes the effectiveness of wheel cleaners). If wheels are hot, spray with water to cool. Clean one wheel at a time. Spray cleaner evenly over wheel and tire and allow cleaner to soak for 30 seconds. Note: If wheel is extremely dirty, some mild agitation with a wheel brush (or paintbrush) may be necessary. You can also spray cleaner on the backside (inside) of the wheel and agitate with the wheel brush. Rinse with a strong stream of water. Repeat on remaining wheels, one at a time.

Tips:

  1. A 2 to 3"-wide paintbrush is great for agitating hard-to-reach and heavily soiled areas.
  2. If your fender wells are dirty, you can spray Eagle One All Wheel and Tire Cleaner on them while doing each wheel. This will help achieve a pristine look.
  3. Spray a coat of Wax As-U-Dry on each wheel to protect and shine the wheels (and make cleaning easier next time).
