You spent some good money on your wheels, it’s time you took care of them. When cleaning your wheels and tires it is very important that you are very picky with the types of products and chemicals you use to clean your rims. Below we have listed the 4 most common mistakes people do when they are cleaning their wheels and tires.

1. Never apply a cleaning agent or tire dressing to a hot tire or wheel. Ensure your wheels are in the shade and cool to the touch. A hot surface may dry out the product before you rinse it off.

2. Do not use any Silicone-based tire dressings. These products might make your wheels and tires look good in the short run but will eventually turn your wheels brown overtime. They have also, been found to attract more grime to your tire. More time cleaning, less time being clean.

3. We do not recommend using any hard brushes, this might result in a scratched wheel.

4. Make sure you read the instructions included on the soap or cleaner. You do not want to leave the product on too long or put too much, it may lead to damaging your wheels or tires.

I never use a dressing. My OEM Wranglers turn brown regardless. I use a less-than-harsh generic spray cleaner from a dollar store.

Best thing for tires is carbon black.......anything else is hurtful to the rubber.

4 common spelling mistakes people do on discussion forums:
1) there/their/they're
2) to/too/two
3) its/it's
4) then/than

All I use to clean my wheels & tires is RAIN. Works great on the paint, too.

Don't forget "should of" because it sounds like "should've" which is of course "should have".


So on the original topic, when you go through an automatic car wash (the horror! I know its own topic) and it has those rotating drums of 'brushes' of tire shine, not sure where I'm going with this is the answer just going to be not to use an automatic car wash? lol I guess I was going to ask how one would ever know what kind of base that shine had but then I remembered that one I've been using for about a year and a half on the other cars hasn't resulted in any browning yet so probably okay? I'm rambling now.

If you're trying to create an exhaustive list, it'll never end...
31. Ever vs. Yet (one of my pet peeves - especially in advertising)
32. Definitely vs. Defiantly (I see that one a LOT lately, because they look the same on phones' suggestion lines.
33. Peace of mind vs. A piece of my mind
34. Antecedent-pronoun agreement
35. Ending a sentence with a preposition (one I'm guilty of)

This is funny, but accurate:

One of the biggest mistakes is using aluminum wheel cleaner on clear coated aluminum wheels. I would think that would be really hard on the clear coat. I'm not sure what these newer chrome wheels are made of since I just bought this truck, but on my older vehicles I'd just treat them like the paint on the car with a good polish and wax.
