Tire and Wheel Care Kit

Wheels and tires take the hardest hit of any part of the car, collecting brake dust, road grime, and baked-on fallout. A dedicated tire and wheel care kit lets you clean these areas safely without spreading dirt to the paint. The process runs from a strong wheel cleaner and iron remover, through detailing brushes that reach barrels and lug areas, to a tire dressing that leaves a clean, even finish. This hub covers each product so your corners match the shine of the rest of the car. Clean wheels and freshly dressed tires often make the biggest visual difference in a finished detail.
The quick checklist
- ✓Rinse wheels before applying any cleaner

- ✓Treat embedded brake dust with an iron remover
- ✓Agitate spokes and barrels with brushes
