Cleaning the Wheels

Your aluminum wheels are coated with a
clear protective finish.

NOTE

S

Use only a mild soap or neutral
detergent and always use a sponge
or soft cloth to clean the wheels.
Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm
or cold water. Also, be sure to
clean the wheels after driving on
salted roads. This helps prevent
corrosion.

based wheel cleaners, steel wool,

finish of special wheel surfaces.

The brushes used in some auto-

finish on your wheels. Before
going to a car wash, find out if
the brushes are abrasive.

If your aluminum wheels lose
luster, wax the wheels.
