First, thoroughly clean the rim using a suitable detergent and a brush. Now you can protect all adjacent parts and the areas beneath the rim using newspaper and masking tape.

Proceed to apply the first layer of paint/protection using a spray can. After the first layer of protective rubber, apply additional layers. At this point, you can remove the rubber layers from the areas that do not require protection (as they need to be removed in case of wheel removal).

The maintenance operation shown in the images is performed on a Lexus IS.
