How to get the best results when cleaning your wheels

For the best results, use a dedicated cleaner such as HG car wheel rim cleaner. It removes brake dust, grease and grime effectively from both metal wheels and plastic hub caps. Household alternatives can be used, but they are less reliable and should be tested first. Regular cleaning helps maintain your wheels and prevents build-up.

Alternative ways to clean wheels and tyres

If you are looking for ways to clean your wheels without professional products, here are some suggestions using household items:

• Water and white vinegar
• Warm water with washing-up liquid
• Bicarbonate of soda paste

Use cautiously, as these may damage certain finishes. While these home remedies can help with cleaning your wheels, they are not always as effective as our professional products and there may be some risks involved. We recommend taking care and testing on a small, inconspicuous area before applying to the whole wheel.

Causes of dirty wheels

Wheels can become dirty for various reasons, leaving them looking dull and neglected. Here are the main causes:

• Brake dust
• Road grime
• Weather exposure
• Lack of cleaning

Regular maintenance and proper cleaning products help keep wheels in good condition. To keep your wheels clean, we recommend washing them regularly with a specialist wheel cleaner and a soft brush. Afterwards, protect the wheels with a coat of wax for a long-lasting shine. Also make sure your brakes and brake pads are checked regularly to minimise excessive brake dust build-up.
