Removing Stubborn Marks
Painted Aluminum Wheels
Aluminum may corrode from contact with dirt, mud, or road salt.
Clean the wheels after riding through any of these substances. Use a
wet sponge and mild detergent. Avoid stiff brushes, steel wool, or
cleaners containing abrasives or chemical compounds.
After washing, rinse with plenty of water and dry with a clean cloth.
If the paint is chipped, apply touch-up paint.
