Why Wheel & Tyre Care Matters
Wheels are often one of the first areas to show dirt and contamination. Brake dust, road grime, and environmental fallout can quickly build up on wheel surfaces, while tyres can become dull and discoloured through everyday use.
Using dedicated wheel and tyre care products helps safely remove contamination while maintaining the appearance of both wheels and tyres. Regular maintenance can also make future cleaning easier by preventing heavy contamination from becoming embedded over time.
Whether you're carrying out a quick maintenance wash or a full detail, clean wheels and properly dressed tyres can completely transform the overall appearance of a vehicle.
The Wheel & Tyre Care Process
Wheel Cleaning
Dedicated wheel cleaners help break down brake dust, road grime, and stubborn contamination that regular washing may struggle to remove.

Tyre Cleaning

The finishing touch that transforms a vehicle.

Why Wheel & Tyre Care Matters
Wheels and tyres are exposed to more contamination than almost any other part of the vehicle, with brake dust, road grime, and general driving residue building up quickly even between regular washes. Because of this, many detailers choose to clean the wheels first, reducing the risk of transferring heavy contamination onto freshly washed paintwork.
A proper wheel and tyre routine starts with a dedicated wheel cleaner to break down brake dust and grime, agitated with wheel brushes to reach tight areas around spokes, barrels, and nuts. A tyre cleaner then strips away old dressings and built-up dirt from the tyre surface, preparing it for a fresh tyre dressing to finish the look.
Together, these steps help keep wheels and tyres looking their best while making ongoing maintenance quicker and easier.
Wheels & Tyres FAQs
Everything you need to know about cleaning your wheels and tyres.
Why do wheels get dirty so quickly?
Wheels are constantly exposed to brake dust, road grime, water, and contamination generated during everyday driving. This is why they often become dirty faster than other parts of the vehicle.
Should you clean wheels before washing the rest of the vehicle?
Many vehicle owners choose to clean the wheels first because they are typically the dirtiest area of the vehicle. This helps reduce the risk of transferring wheel contamination to freshly cleaned paintwork.
What does a tyre cleaner do?
A tyre cleaner helps remove built-up dirt, old dressings, and contamination from the tyre surface, preparing it for a fresh tyre dressing.
Do you need wheel brushes?
Wheel brushes help clean areas that are difficult to reach with wash mitts or cloths alone, making them a valuable part of a complete wheel cleaning routine.
Why use a tyre dressing?
Tyre dressings help restore the appearance of tyres while providing a clean, finished look that complements freshly cleaned wheels.
