Wheel Cleaning And Care
Carbon fiber wheels use common coating materials and
conventional cleaning techniques can be used.
It is recommended to wash the carbon fiber wheels
with soapy water using conventional car washing sup-
plies and equipment.
NOTE:
Soft, lint-free cloths are recommended for washing and
drying to prevent scratching of the high-gloss rim sur-
face, and polishing (increasing gloss) of the matte-finish
wheel center.
ALCANTARA STEERING WHEEL
The Alcantara Steering Wheel provides superior racing
grip, but requires a special cleaning procedure.
It is sufficient to dust the Alcantara steering wheel
using a soft bristle brush, a dry cloth, or a vacuum
cleaner with care. After having dusted, run a white cot-
ton terry cloth that has been dampened and thoroughly
wrung out over the Alcantara steering wheel. Avoid the
use of printed absorbent cloths/papers, as they can
release ink onto the material. Take extra care not to wet
the steering wheel excessively; rinse the cloth or
sponge and repeat as necessary. Leave to dry (over-
night). Once dried, in order to restore the material,
brush it delicately with a soft bristle brush.
