Why Wheel Cleaning Matters

        Your wheels take the brunt of daily driving. Brake dust, road grime, and contaminants quickly build up and can damage the finish if left untreated. Beyond appearance, neglected wheels can suffer corrosion, pitting, or clear coat damage. Regular maintenance with the right product preserves both the look and longevity of your rims.

How to Use Meguiar’s Non-Acid Wheel Cleaner

Using this wheel cleaner is simple, but technique matters:

1. Start with cool wheels – Never spray cleaner on hot rims.

2. Rinse first – Loosen heavy dirt and debris with water.

3. Spray generously – Apply Meguiar’s Non-Acid Wheel Cleaner evenly across the wheel face, barrel, and lug areas.

4. Agitate with a brush – Use a soft wheel brush to get into spokes and hard-to-reach spots.

5. Rinse thoroughly – Wash away the cleaner and dissolved brake dust with plenty of water.

6. Dry & protect – For best results, dry your rims and apply a wheel sealant or ceramic coating for long-lasting shine and easier future cleanings.
