Aluminium Wheel Maintenance (Some Models)
A protective coating is provided over the aluminium wheels. Special care is needed to protect this coating.
Do not use any detergent other than mild detergent. Before using any detergent, verify the ingredients. Otherwise, the product could discolour or stain the aluminium wheels.
-
Do not use a wire brush or any abrasive cleaner, polishing compound, or solvent on aluminium wheels. They may damage the coating.
-
Always use a sponge or soft cloth to clean the wheels.
Rinse the wheels thoroughly with lukewarm or cold water. Also, be sure to clean the wheels after driving on dusty or salted roads to help prevent corrosion.
-
Avoid washing your vehicle in an automatic car wash that uses high-speed or hard brushes.

If your aluminium wheels lose lustre, apply wax which contains no polishing powder.
