Accuride® Machined and Polished Aluminum Wheels
Regular cleaning of Accuride machined or polished aluminum wheels is recommended to keep the wheel finish bright and shiny. The use of an aluminum wheel polish or carnauba wax will protect the polished wheel surfaces, will help prevent corrosion and pitting on the aluminum wheel surfaces caused from natural environmental contamination, and will make future cleaning and polishing easier.
- Rinse the wheel with high-pressure water to remove any debris, grit, or dirt particles.
- Use a 100% cotton cloth dipped in a mild soap solution to help remove built up dirt and grease.
- Rinse the remaining soap residue from the wheel.
- Dry the wheel thoroughly with a 100% cotton cloth.
- Use metal cleaner/polish that is compatible with aluminum to remove spots and stains from the surfaces of the wheel as necessary.
- Apply carnauba wax to the visible wheel surfaces. Carnauba wax should be reapplied on a regular basis to maintain the wheel luster.
