WHEELS/TIRES Advanced – ETA 2-3 Hours
So you have already learned to do to a basic cleaning of your wheels, tires & wheel wells. Here we are going to show you how do give these areas a very deep and detailed cleaning. This is something you may do 1-2 times a year.
Items Needed:
Degreaser (ie: Megs Super Degreaser, APC+, P21s t.a.w.)
Cheap Microfiber Towels (costco has 20 for $10)
Detailer Spray (ie: Megs Last Touch Detailer, Chemical Guys Extreme Slick Synthetic, Poorboys Quick Detailer Plus)
Rubber/Plastic Dressing (ie: Mes Hyper Dressing, All Season Dressing, Water Based Dressing, Adams Invisible Undercarriage Spray)
Cheap Paintbrush
Meguiars Last Touch Detailer
Edge Foam Swabs
Tire Dressing (ie: Poorboys Bold N Bright, Megs Endurance Gel, Swissvax Pneu, Chemical Guys VRP Dressing 2)
1. Start with something that looks like this.
2. Grab your Degreaser & MF Towel
3. Spray degreaser on the rims tires and inner fender
4. Wipe the items in the same order you sprayed. In this part you can use a tire brush and a wheel brush instead of wiping them down. When wiping down the inner fender take your time, turn your wheels all the way to one side so you can access most of the inner fender. I used a harder paintbrush to help agitate the degreaser and reach areas I just couldn’t quite reach. Repeat spray and wipe down if necessary.
5. Once you are happy with your results Take your rubber/plastic dressing and spray generously within the inner fender. You want to spray this first so that once you are finished with the wheels and tires you can come back and wipe off excess dressing.
6. Spray detailer around your wheels, and wipe down with MF towel.
7. You can use foam swabs, paint brush, or Q-tips to get hard to reach areas.
8. Get your tire dressing and paintbrush and apply the dressing to your tires
9. Once you are finished go around your inner fenders and wipe off any excess dressing still left with a MF towel, and you should have something like this.
