How To of Tire & Rim Cleaning Process

Something that makes a car look extremely clean is  super sleek tires and rims. Dull tires or rims can make your car look horrible and overall, these items are an investment and should be taken care of! Our tire cleaning process is thorough and the products are professional to make your car have that extra clean look. Let us break down our tire and rim cleaning process:

  • Step #1: Clean the tire thoroughly all the way around using products and steam.

    • Cleaning from top to bottom will push any dirt or debris down. This will prevent the rinsed areas from getting dirty again. 

  • Step #2: spray our professional degreaser product Optimum Power Clean to cover the entire surface of the tire. 

    • Using degreaser brings as much of the road dirt to the surface of the rubber to lead us into our next step.

  • Step #3: using a drill brush and the Optimum Power Clean product we are able to extract as much dirt as possible to provide a deep clean.

  • Step #4: using a soft bristled brush we steam and wipe off any excess product.

Now that the tires are taken care of, it’s time to move onto the rims. As we all know, most rims are for aesthetics but no matter the car, clean rims will make you stand out.

  • Step #1: once again, the almighty Optimum Power Clean is sprayed all over the face of the rim and behind the wheel to get rid of brake dust, road grime, and whatever else has caked on there. 

  • Step #2: using a nylon bristled brush to gently remove any surface dirt and at the same time dig into hard to reach areas.

    • Using this method and tools provides an in depth and safe cleaning processing while removing dirt, all without harming the paint.

  • Step #3: once the product is fully brushed around  the entire rim, we use steam to rinse everything away.

    • Steam applies the perfect mix of pressure and heat to take off to remove the dirt safely, cleaning the surface resulting in a much better looking tire and rim.
