I recently took over an F150 lease from someone and the wheels are very poorly maintained. They are covered in brake dust and road grime. The problem is, I don't know what type of wheels they are. They appear to be chrome but could be alloy...what's the best way to clean them without possibly damaging them?

 

Pressure wash them, water and auto soap, a sponge, rag, etc... Hard to hurt them!

 

I use simple green on my alloys

 

Go on-line, order some ZAINO "All-In-One" and "Z2" PRO SEALER......
both are POLYMER so the brake dust won't stick as well to the wheels.

You can order at zainostore.com

I have nothing to do with ZAINO, just a BIG fan like thousands of others.....
but I would recommend any good POLYMER, for sure.
You can do a search about cleaning wheels and get tons of info.


Good Luck!

 

yup they're build ford tough just hit 'em with the water and soap 'em down!
