Feeding your wheels is easy, just give them a fresh new tires every 10,000 to 30,000 kilometers, the tread on the wheels, depending on the level of its hunger. If you drive a car enthusiast, I will be hungry and eat the tires quickly. If your driving habits will be more careful then your wheels will have less appetite and just choose a tire. (I'll bet you think that just tread wears off).
One of the questions I am asked most often is "What can I use to clean my wheels," the answer is the correct way to clean it at least as aggressive. If you keep up with the accumulation of dust from the brakes of a car wash may be sufficient to solve the problem. If you allow brake dust to build up, then you will have to resort to strong cleaning agents.
To discuss cleaning methods / chemicals that we should discuss the agents that attack your wheels. The main culprit is the brake dust. Brake pads are made of several elements, including carbon fiber. monofilament, a metal, fiber, Kevlar and polymer-based adhesive. Brake pad adhesive, the root of most of our problems when the adhesive residue (components of brake dust) becomes wet, it turns acidic and may bite your wheels. Metal filings on the brake, it becomes red hot, and tend to "burn" a hole in the small of your wheels. If you have small droplets that look like tar on the road, your wheels may be a tar road. But in fact, may be re - polymerized glue, fabric glue, break these polymers flocculate and form droplets that wind up on the wheel, they are committed with a vengeance. The only way to ensure that all stops carving / burning / flocculating (kind of sounds weird) is to refrain from using your brakes. Such a course of action is often not desirable, although some drivers will be offered. One of the keys to keeping your wheels will be coated with wax. Protectant wax acts as a sacrificial impact damage from red-hot brake dust, brake dust, acid gases, ozone pollution and will be released on wax and not your wheel.
There are many ways to clean your wheels to choose the least offensive way to get the job done. Car washing with a solution / water, at least as aggressive and may remove most of the dirt / brake from the wheel, I prefer the Sonax Gloss Shampoo and dilutions of the test _ cupful per gallon of water to clean the wheels. If the car does not do the trick ° and then try cleaning the wheels of quality. Two-wheel-cleaning of my favorite are produced in Germany, P21S and Sonax careful in the choice of cleaning the wheels is the most popular brands that are highly acidic and may damage the finish on the wheels. you The active ingredient in cleaning the wheels of the acid hydrofluoric (same thing they use to etch glass) A current class action lawsuit in California to be a brand that is popular is to advertise the most damage. All wheels are finished in 2-3 weeks I received calls from people who have completed the wheels stripped off their products or other high acid Sonax P21S and pH balance for the completion of the German wheel. They may not be as aggressive as other brands, but whether they will finish off your wheels.
Most wheel cleaners work best on dry wheel. Spray clean the wheels and work equally in all areas of the wheel with a soft cloth, sponge or a soft wash mitt. Attempt to smooth out any drips or even work to have a coating over the wheel well cleaning. Allow some time to clean the wheels running (3-5 minutes) and gently scrub the wheel with a cloth / sponge / mitt of some areas of the wheel may be dirty, gently brushing with a soft brush to dislodge something. dirty If areas need additional cleaning, respray and clean the wheels and brush gently, I repeat the warning, the keyword is "soft" and "soft" finish on the wheel as acrylic or lacquer coating that. temperatures are relatively soft and may scratch. When the dust / brake loose wash with water and dried.
If some areas of the wheel is still dirty, you may have to resort to strong solvents such as Oil Flo Safety Solvent to spot clean these areas. Solvent in the testing of the wheel, not shown, to ensure that the end is not damaged. Spray the solvent on a cloth and spot clean the dirty areas. May again provide a gentle brushing. Wash thoroughly washed with wash solution / water and dry.
Your wheels to the transport of high quality wax, Carnauba to protect them if the paint and / or clear coated wheels, you'll fade a little or a dull look, 3M coating Imperial hand may help to clean the clear coat faded. / enamel paint, using a soft cloth and gently rub away the frustration and movies. If it does not do the trick, put a generous amount of 3M's your clothes and add a small amount of P21S Finish Restorer Metal Polish (about the size of a nail the little finger of yours), Poland, the frustration with this combination, the combination P21S /. 3M will get the job done.It is a pump spray wax that is hard to chalk and easy and requires only a light polish. If your wheels are anodized, the manufacturer may suggest that the protective coating of petroleum jelly. I have tried this and instead I chose to use Carnauba wax, petroleum jelly that attracts dust particles, all within a half mile anodized wheels with a clean hard to restore. Most manufacturers do not recommend using any metal polish on the wheel it will remove some of the aluminum anodization and change the appearance slightly. If you can live with the elimination of some of the anodization and changes in the soft metal such as polished metal finish P21S Restorer Polish may help remove some stains. Test against any metal on the back of the wheel before it is used. When I used to do the hair of Carnauba wax.
You can be sure that your wheels are painted / clear coated or anodized finish is matte paint / clear anodized finish is smooth to the touch and feel a little rude. If you have any doubt, one method of testing is done is to touch the tip of your tongue to the wheel. If you taste the metal, it is often anodized, if you taste almost nothing, it's usually clear coat. (I bet my $ 1.00 will get you to lick your wheels
