Cleaning Wheels

[SW03ES]

You don't want to use mag polish either as it will destroy the clearcoat.

The new ES wheels are very high gloss, must be a change Lexus made.

Cleaning Wheels and Tyres:

·Ensure wheels and rotors are cool before applying cold water as this may cause them to warp. Hose off as much initial grime as you can. Rinse up into the wheel well to wash away road kill, mud and other debris.

·Use detailing clay to remove any imbedded contaminants

·Use a solvent based cleaner to remove any road tar

·Apply a solution of P21S Total Auto Wash to wheel-wells and tyres, and let soak in, agitate with a long-handled boars haired brush before rinsing

·Spray P21S Wheel Cleaner, this cleaner is 100% acid-free and will not damage any type of wheel finish. (Gel for badly soiled and regular for normal soil) onto wheel rims and lat soak in.

·Before finally removing cleaner, agitate with a soft brush and then rinse off

·Dry wheels with a towel, apply a sealant to the surface of the wheels themselves will protect the finish from brake dust and the elements and also making them easier to keep clean.

·Wax has a low melting point and will not withstand the sustained temperatures

·Thoroughly hose off tyres and wheel-wells, apply a (UVR) protectant to tyres.

A word of caution, do not be tempted to use household cleaning products for automotive cleaning as they are formulated for very different purposes and could cause damage. Avoid any products that contain bleach, ammonia or harsh detergents as they usually also contain high levels of sodium.
