1) For the best results you will want to not only clean the outside of the wheel but the inner section of the wheel.

2) To wash the tires you should use a cleaner degreaser, this can also be used to clean the wheel arch if you decide you want to. The wheels can be a time consuming task if you haven’t done them before, it will get easier the more you do it – trust me.

3) Once applied let it set for a couple of seconds to bond itself with the dirt and grime on the wheel.

4) If possible you should use a wheel cleaner on the actual alloy as this will give the best results, ensure that you are wearing gloves when handling acid based products.

5) Using a sponge you can begin to clean the arch well while the products are setting onto the tires/alloy ready to be removed. You should always use a separate sponge when caring for separate products to avoid damaging your car with dirt or gravel. Remove the soap from the arch well with a hose pipe ready to begin on the actual wheel itself.

6) If you have a longer sponge you should use that on the wheel so that you can get inside the alloy and ensure that it’s all clean. Use a paintbrush around the spokes if you have any so that you can ensure the alloy cleaner will remove all of the dirt.

7) Spray this off with a hose pipe and see the final result. If you have missed certain parts then you can go back over them and ensure they are clean before you move onto the next wheel. Simply repeat steps 1-7 on each wheel and you have finished cleaning your cars wheels.
