Top Tips to keep your Diamond Cut Alloys in Tip Top Condition

• Start by rinsing as much dirt from your wheel using a hose.
• Avoid using snow foams with colouring agents as they can stain diamond cut wheels.
• Spray the tyre wall with wheel cleaner and tackle the dirt with a stiff bristled tyre brush.
• Only use a pH neutral or pH balanced wheel cleaner as acid or alkaline based cleaners can discolour the surface of your wheel.
• Remove brake dust accumulation with a fallout remover. Once this has worked its magic be sure to thoroughly rinse.
• Use a mild shampoo as they don’t contain harsh chemicals found in wheel shampoos.
• Using a wheel brush dunk it in a bucket of the water/shampoo mix and clean between the spokes, inside the wheel and then across the face of the wheel. Working from top to bottom. Don’t press too hard! And once again be sure to rinse thoroughly.
• Use a microfibre cloth or an air blower to dry the wheel.
• Protect your wheels with a wheel wax or sealant to protect them from environmental factors. Buff with a microfibre cloth.
