Wash the wheels regularly with a sponge dampened in a mild soap solution, especially during winter months in areas where road salt is used. If not removed, road salt can discolor the wheels.

● Do not use a cleaner that uses strong acid or alkali contents to clean the wheels.

● Do not apply wheel cleaners to the wheels when they are hot. The wheel temperature should be the same as ambient temperature.
