- Clean barrels: Long-handled brush gets the inner barrel.
- Iron: Iron remover dissolves brake dust the cleaner missed.
- Rinse: Pressure rinse including wheel wells.
- Tires: Scrub tires with all-purpose cleaner, rinse.
- Dress: Water-based tire dressing, applied with foam applicator, no sling onto paint.
- Seal: Optional wheel sealant makes future cleaning take a third of the time.
Recovery time

When this is not the right call
If your wheels are bare metal (polished aluminum, raw alloy), avoid acid-based cleaners which etch — stick with non-acidic. We use non-acidic by default.
Frequently asked questions
What causes that orange dust on my wheels?
Iron particles from brake pads. Iron-remover chemistry dissolves it.
Why do wheels get dirty so fast?
Brake dust accumulates from every stop. Clear-coated wheels are smoother but still attract dust electrostatically. Wheel sealant slows the buildup.
Tire dressing — gloss or matte?
Personal preference. We default to satin — looks clean without the cheap wet look.
