Having black wheels ................ well it´s a challenge to keep them clean. :laughing:
This are the dirty wheels of my Suzuki Swift Sport 2019. :wowwow:
I want to show the process I use for cleaning them.
I use some products from the Meguiars Detailer Line.
I use the following products:
D101 Meguiar's All Purpose Cleaner.
D108 Meguiar's Super Degreaser.
D1801 Meguiar's Wheel & Paint Iron DECON.
D140 Meguiar's wheel Brightener.
D170 Meguiar's Hyper Dressing.
G7516 Meguiar's Endurance Tire Gel, G15415 Meguiar's Endurance Tire Dressing (Aerosol).
First I use the pressure washer to remove all the dirt possible. This time I only used Wheel Brightener, no need for the iron remover this time.
I use different types of brushes for the wheel spokes, arches and tires. I even use and old toothbrush
You can clean the wheel arches with Superdegraser or All Purpose cleaner depending on the dirt you have. Agitate the product with a good brush. This is important preparation for the plastic protectant.
I use the Speed Master wheel brush for cleaning the inside of the wheel and is very handy for tight spaces.
I use All purpose cleaner for the tire when it´s not very dirty. Agitate with a stiff bristle brush until you see white foam.
For the wheel arches I use Hyper dressing diluted 4:1 for the "like new" look.
Now the wheel arches are clean but they don´t look black. They need dressing to complete the effect and look like new.
Apply deliberately and distribute with a foam applicator if needed.
Looks better.
Now to dry the wheel with a waffle weave microfiber. And to remove any overspray.
like shiny tires so I used Endurance Tire Spray. This version doesn't exist anymore. Distribute the product with a tire foam applicator.
Nearly finished. 3 more to go.
BEFORE
AFTER
Final result with a coat of Ultimate wax. This is very important because it will make subsequent cleaning easier.
