Cleaning Wheels the OC way!
Below is our step to step guide on how to properly clean your wheels!!
🛞 Step 1: Pre-Rinse Wheels
Start by thoroughly rinsing the wheels, tyres, and arches. This removes loose dirt and cools the surface (never clean hot wheels).
—————————————————————————————————
🧪 Step 2: Apply Wheel Cleaner / Iron Remover
Spray a dedicated wheel cleaner or iron remover onto:
- Wheel face
- Barrel
- Around lug nuts
Let it dwell for 2–5 minutes. You’ll often see a purple reaction as it breaks down brake dust!
—————————————————————————————————
🧼 Step 3: Clean Tyres Separately
Use a tyre cleaner and a stiff brush to scrub the sidewalls. This removes old tyre dressing and built-up grime (you’ll see brown foam if it’s dirty).
—————————————————————————————————
🪥 Step 4: Agitate the Wheels
Use multiple brushes:
- Barrel brush (inside the wheel)
- Soft face brush (front of wheel)
- Small detailing brush (lug nuts & tight areas)
Work methodically to reach every part.
—————————————————————————————————
🚿 Step 5: Rinse Thoroughly
Rinse everything thoroughly, ensuring no cleaner is left behind—especially inside the barrel and around bolts.
—————————————————————————————————
💨 Step 7: Drying
Dry with a microfiber towel or air blower to prevent water spots.
