Instructions for Cleaning Wheel Rims

Model: Lexus IS MK 3 - Years 2013-2024
Part: Wheel rim

Washing your car is one of the most enjoyable moments for those who love to take care of their vehicle: doing it yourself, perhaps on a Saturday afternoon with some nice music in the background, creates a true sense of symbiosis between the car and its owner. The difference between a simple clean and a thorough wash lies in the attention to detail, such as the perfect cleaning of the wheel rims: there are many products available that can remove dirt residues like brake dust and tar marks without damaging the finish. In addition to spraying a specific product, it is also important to scrub in the tightest spots using a suitable brush; at the end of the wash, you can add an extra touch with tyre black or even spray wax on the rims themselves.

How to Remove the Mirror Cap on a Toyota Auris

How to proceed with the removal of the mirror cap on a Toyota Auris? Use a plastic lever to detach the mirror cap and the mirror itself. Pry until the cover comes off the mirror (this operation is very delicate as it may break). Once the piece is removed, take out the side indicator (for replacement), and you can replace it with the new one. Refit the new mirror cover by inserting it into the mirror and securing the plastic with the appropriate clips. Check the correct functioning of the part.
