Important: Do not scrub the wheels before rinsing off particles with high-pressure water. Rubbing debris against the surface of the wheel can result in scratches. Synthetic cleaning pads and wire brushes should not be used to clean the wheels.

Do not use strong detergents, alkaline, or acidic cleaners to clean Accuride aluminum wheels. These solutions can etch the surface of the aluminum and leave dull areas. Do not use polishes or wax on Accuride ACCU-SHIELD aluminum wheels.

  1. Rinse the wheel with high-pressure water to remove debris.
  2. Use a 100% cotton cloth dipped in a mild soap solution to help remove built up dirt and grease. Dish soap or automotive car wash soap are recommended.
  3. Rinse the remaining soap residue from the wheel. Do not allow soap residue to dry on the surface of the wheel.
  4. Dry the wheel thoroughly with a 100% cotton cloth.
  5. Commercial bug/tar/grime cleaners may be used to remove stuck-on particles from the wheel. It is recommended that the cleaner be tested in an inconspicuous area for discoloration before treating the wheel.
  6. Do not use strong solvents to remove grease or grime from the surface of the wheel. Damage to the wheel surface finish might occur.
  7. Do not use polishes or wax on ACCU-SHIELD aluminum wheels. The finish will maintain the bright and shiny surface for years to come without the need for special polishes.
