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.
