GENERAL CARE RULES (READ FIRST)

Never use acidic cleaners (wheel acid, purple cleaners, degreasers).
Never use automatic car washes with brushes or harsh chemicals.
Always clean wheels when cool, not hot from driving or sunlight.

Forged wheels are premium — treat them that way.

POLISHED WHEELS CLEANING

DO:
Use pH-neutral car soap
Use microfiber towels
Use aluminum polish (as needed)
Dry immediately after washing
Apply a non-acid sealant for extra protection

DO NOT:
Do NOT use acid-based or harsh cleaners
Do NOT allow brake dust to sit for long periods
Do NOT let water spots bake into the finish

Polished finishes require regular cleaning to stay bright.

---

BRUSHED FINISHES

Brushed finishes have directional grain.

DO:
Clean in the direction of the grain
Use gentle pH-neutral soap
Apply ceramic spray or sealant for protection

DO NOT:
Scrub against the grain
Use metal polish (will remove texture)

---

PAINTED / POWDER-COATED FINISHES

These are durable, but not indestructible.

DO:
Use pH-neutral soap
Use soft brushes or microfiber
Apply ceramic protection when possible

DO NOT:
Use cutting compounds
Use aggressive wheel cleaners
Let tar or brake dust sit for weeks

---

WINTER CARE (IMPORTANT)

If you live in a snow/salt region:

Rinse wheels weekly
Avoid road salt when possible
Add protective coating
Do NOT store dirty wheels

Salt + metal = damage if ignored.

CARE = LONGEVITY

Take care of your wheels and they will look better, last longer, and hold value.
Neglect will ruin ANY finish — no matter the brand.
