CLEANING AND INSPECTION

Aluminum Wheels—Wheelcovers, Wheel Ornamentation

 

Appearance

To clean wheels, wheelcovers and wheel ornamentation, use a mild soap and water solution and rinse thoroughly with clear water. Do not use steel wool, abrasive-type cleaner or strong detergents containing high alkaline or caustic agents as damage to the protective coating and discoloration may result.

NOTE: Automatic car wash tire brushes may damage aluminum and styled road wheel protective coatings. Before using such a service, be sure abrasive-type brushes are not being used.
