Mistakes to Avoid When Cleaning Car Wheels.

Cleaning the rest of the car first.

The wheels and rims should be cleaned first. The wheels and tires are in constant contact with
the ground, which makes them the dirtiest. It makes more sense to clean the car top down. But
when you make the mistake of washing the rest of the vehicle body before the wheels, you run
the risk of splattering those contaminants across those freshly washed panels.

Washing all the wheels at the same time.

When cleaning your wheels, take them one at a time. Yes, it may come across as time-consuming,
but it is important. When you attempt to rinse all the wheels by wetting all the wheels at once with
a wheel cleaner, the cleaner will dry before you have a chance to rinse it off, which will lead to more
work.

Avoiding professional service.

Trying to do it all by yourself can be exhausting. Considering the array of products which you
need to purchase- degreaser, wheel cleaner, soap, tire bleach, carpet shampoo, automotive
glass cleaner, conditioner and leather cleaner, the list is long, don’t let us add the accessories
like bucket minimum four, clay bars, multiple brushes, microfiber towels, vacuum, chamois,
carpet extractor and so on.
It is no cost-saving measure to clean your car yourself. Never mind the damage you can have
by not knowing how to polish the clear coat. Having pros to do the service is much easier.
