Keeping your alloys clean

Just in case you didn't know, alloy wheels get grimy very easily . This is because the combined effect of brake dust, sand and grit salt lead to damage for the wheel.

If you want your wheels to keep their shine, make sure you clean them 2 or 4 times a month depending on the way you use your car . Failure to do so will result in permanent damage to the wheel due to the corrosion of metal

Please follow our extensive list of advice to learn best practices for alloy wheels
