Cleaning car rims is important because the rims and therefore the wheels are the parts that get the most dirt when you go by car and travel especially in the countryside.
In addition to the mud, many other substances accumulate on the rims which usually do not concern the rest of the bodywork because they hardly expand or go into the air.
These are black powders that anchor on the surface of the rims and wheels, these are caused by the disintegration of the pads, which occurs with each braking. The dust gets dirty on the rims of the front wheels and then settles down to the depths.
The greasy material, yes mix with water and as a result it becomes pasty and difficult to remove.
How the rims get dirty, mud dust and worn brake pads are the main causes
Whether they are made of steel, or whether they are rims in alloy or any other material, rims must be cleaned periodically, at least onceonce a week to clear all deposits and to prevent dirt from becoming encrusted and therefore difficult or impossible to remove.
Mud, dust deriving from the brake pads or dust of any other kind must first be removed with a pre-wash and then with plenty of water. In this case, if you have a lot of outdoor space, you can use the pressure washer which eliminates any type of dirt in seconds without stress and effort. Alternatively, a normal pump is obviously fine.
How to concretely devote yourself to cleaning alloy or steel rims
The first thing to do is lift the car using the jack, then remove the wheel and remove all the dust and dirt with a spray of water. It is advisable to detach the wheel to have the possibility of cleaning it in all its parts, even where it is difficult to reach. Then a specific cleaner is applied, it can be used as it is or diluted in water. It is sprayed all over the rim and left to act for a few minutes. Then rub it well using a rough sponge.
Once finished, rinse with a pressure washer, if the degreaser or the product used for cleaning the rims fails to remove all traces of dirt, you can use a rubber suitable for this type of work and then pass a clean rag to make sure that the rim is clean and shiny again. The same procedure should be followed for cleaning all wheels and rims.
