CLEANING AND INSPECTION
ALUMINUM WHEEL CARE
Chrome plated and painted aluminum wheels
should be cleaned regularly using mild soap and
water to maintain their luster and to prevent corro-
sion.
Care must be taken in the selection of tire and
wheel cleaning chemicals and equipment to prevent
damage to the wheels. Any of the “DO NOT USE”
items listed below WILL damage chrome plated and
painted aluminum wheels.
DO NOT USE:
• any abrasive metal cleaner
• any abrasive cleaning pad or brush
• any cleaner that contains an acid (this will
immediately react with and discolor the chromium
surface)
• chrome polish (unless it is buffed off immedi-
ately after application)
• oven cleaner
• a car wash that uses carbide-tipped wheel clean-
ing brushes
