Are You Wearing Dirty Socks & Shoes?

Clean and shiny tires and wheels are just as important to the looks of a clean vehicle as washing the paint and vacuuming the interior. No part of your vehicle takes more abuse. Brake dust, road debris, hot asphalt, salt, residuals from dead animal carcasses, and who knows what else, are constantly flung up from the road to sting, cling, and leach onto the rubber and metal of your tires and wheels.

Without regular maintenance, cleaning them is no easy task, even for a detailer. Automated car washes cannot effectively access this area, and do-it-yourselfers rarely have the proper tools and products to safely and effectively do so.

Brian Engcabo at Purity Automotive Detailing has an aresenal of products and tools to safely and effectively clean and treat your tires and then polish your wheels and rims until they glisten.

Metal rims and wheels are often decorative, with intricately designed spokes and caps. They may be made of stainless steel, chrome, or aluminum alloy and they may even be painted. Paint is susceptible to scratches and chipping, and if not cleaned by a professional like Purity Auto Detailing, you run the risk of making scratches worse, even leading to rust. Also, some over-the-counter car care products can break down the paint and ruin the metal's natural shine.

Alloy wheels usually have a clear coat protecting the bare metal, much like your vehicle has a clear coat protecting the paint. Although it may be tempting to use a heavily abrasive scrub brush in removing caked on grime, there is danger in scratching past the clear coat into the metal leading to detailer’s kryptonite — rust!

Don’t drive away in a shiny vehicle with dusty, grayish tires. That's like taking a bath, putting on a tuxedo, then slipping into dirty socks and shoes!

A clean, shiny set of tires and wheels is a finishing touch to a perfect detail!
