Tire cleaning is an easy way to improve the look and performance of your car. Clean tires not only look good, but also provide better grip and braking. It will also save you money in the long run. If a large amount of dirt accumulates on the tire and in the wheel well, the corrosive elements will impair the performance of the brake pads. Wash your tires regularly and thoroughly.

Steps

1. 1 Wash wheels and tires separately from the body. Take a separate bucket, soap and water especially for them so that oils and dirt from wheels and tires do not get on the body of your car.
2. 2 Use tire cleaners. There are a large number of cleaning products on the market that are specifically designed to clean dirt from wheels and tires. Apply the cleaner to tires and wheels as directed on the packaging. Some cleaners are creams that are applied with a soft cloth, others are sprays that are applied to the entire surface of the wheels and tires.
3. 3 Brush the wheels. Use a soft bristled brush to remove any dirt that has accumulated on your wheels from daily driving.Clean the wheels one at a time, rinse the wheel thoroughly before moving on to the next. Don't forget to clean the slots in the wheel where the brake pads are located. Because of the brake pads, the largest amount of dirt accumulates in this area, which is why it is most susceptible to corrosion. Rinse and clean the wheel again if necessary. Don't be too careful when it comes to cleaning wheels and tires.
4. 4 Dry the wheels with a terry cloth. You can also find special microfiber towels in stores. Be sure to dry both the tire and the wheel. If you do not wipe the wheels and tires dry, wax and other products you use may dissolve and lose their effect. You will also expose your car to unnecessary rust.
5. 5 Polish your tires. The process of polishing tires is identical to polishing a car. Apply polish with a polish applicator, then buff the tire to not only look great, but also resist dust and other harmful elements. Polishing the tires will also protect them from UV radiation, which will damage the rubber of the tires.
6. 6 End.

Tips

• Attention to detail is central to wheel and tire cleaning. It is very easy to neglect the inner parts of the wheels and the niches. Very often it will be difficult for you to get under the hoods to clean this place. This is why it is very important to find a brush that will not only remove dust, but can also get to the hard-to-reach places on your wheels.
