Tyre & rim cleaner

Are you going to clean your car's tyres or rims? Then using a good tyre or wheel cleaner and tyre shine or tyre dressing is necessary. Below, we will explain how you can easily clean the tyres and rims of your car.

Cleaning rims

You can easily clean the rims yourself. However, it is a bit more work than a little wash with water and soap. There can be some stubborn dirt, such as brake dust, on your rims. While braking, brake dust will end up on your rims. This brake dust is extremely hot and then burns into the rims. Often, this dirt will not go off with a ride through the car wash. But with a good rim cleaner and rim brush, the rims can look as good as new again. With the supplies and the steps below, you will make your rims shine like new.

Necessary supplies to clean rims:

Two buckets (1 bucket with car shampoo and 1 with water)
Car shampoo & wheel cleaner (and tyre shine or tyre dressing)
Wheel brush
Washing glove & towel

Step by step cleaning:

1. First of all, make sure your car is out of the sunlight. Wheel cleaner will otherwise dry up too quickly. It is also important that before you start cleaning, the brakes are properly cooled. You can choose to disassemble the tyres, so you can better clean the rear sides, however, this is not necessary;

2. Clean the tyres and rims first. You can do this with a garden hose or a high-pressure cleaner. This way, you will remove the loose dirt;

3. Allow the rims to dry. For the best result, a wheel cleaner must be used on a dry surface. Make sure you have a suitable rim cleaner for your rim type (such as alloy);

4. Next, spray the rim cleaner evenly over the rim. Leave this work in for a few minutes (also read the instructions on the product);

5. Then, use the wheel brush. Wet it and then brush the dirt of the rim. This can best be a rim brush with harder hairs;

6. After you are done, start cleaning the rim with a softer wheel brush. Dip it in the bucket with car shampoo and brush the rims again;

7. Spray the rims clean again with a garden hose or high-pressure sprayer;

8. Dry the wheels with a soft cloth;

9. Now that the wheels are nice and clean, you can treat them with wax. This makes it harder for dirt and brake dust to stick on the rim.

Cleaning car tyres

Do you want to make your car tyres look like new again? You can easily do this with a good tyre cleaner, also called tyre shine or tyre dressing. Please, do not use any cleaning products that contain solvents or oil. Products containing this can affect the rubber of your tyres negatively. Only clean the tyres with water and a tyre cleaner or tyre shine. You can also use a high-pressure spray, but then do not use an emitter. We recommend that you clean the car tyres before storing them. So, clean them well after changing from summer tyres to winter tyres and vice versa. This way they will retain their quality better.

Do you want to give the tyres a new look? Then you can also use tyre black. Tyre black gives the tyres a new look but also ensures that the rubber is protected. The car tyres will , therefore, last longer.
