There are several ways to protect your tires and wheels. Obvious ways to keep them protected are to avoid potholes, curbs and impacts if at all possible.
Keeping wheels clean is one of the best ways to preserve your wheel's finish. I use Griot's Garage Wheel Cleaner with every car I wash. To use, the cleaner is sprayed on the wheel, cleaned with a brush and rinsed off with water. With its unique penetrants that allow you to use less effort when cleaning your wheels, the products high concentrate allows the cleaner to stay on the wheel longer to remove stubborn brake dust, road oils and other deposits. The wheel cleaner is a non-caustic product that is very effective while being made from premium, biodegradable ingredients that are safe for you and the environment.
When it comes time to change my wheels out for the season, I clean each wheel thoroughly, knocking any tar or asphalt loose. I seal the entire wheel with a coat of Griot's Garage Paint Sealant. The product provides a high gloss finish that only needs to be applied once a year. This makes getting the wheels clean during a car wash much easier. Keep your investment looking brand new!
