Aluminum wheels should be cleaned regularly with
mild soap and water to prevent corrosion. To remove
heavy soil, select a non abrasive, non-acidic cleaner.

automatic car washes that use acidic solutions or harsh
brushes that may damage the wheels’ protective fin-
ish.

If you carry special cargo such as chemicals, fertilizers,
deicer salt, etc., be sure that such materials are well
packaged and sealed.

If a lot of driving is done on gravel roads, consider
mud or stone shields behind each wheel.
