How to Wash Wheels and Tires: Our Best Process

[@JG_20_25]

Great video on how to use your products on wheels and tires. Just started ordering products from you and this is extremely helpful. Keep the videos coming. Thanks!

[@SkyCarCare]

Awesome, thank you!

I am really pleased with Darkside. Makes the tires nice and matte, but with just a touch of shine. Goes on very easily. Glad I bought it.

Thanks for the feedback Geoff!

I like my combo.. P&S Brake Buster with Turtle Wax Tire/Wheel prep. And in my bucket CGs Diablo or Simple Green. Gets the wheels super clean and stay clean for a good while

[@SkyCarCare]

Great job, glad you have a combo thats working great for you! Be careful with Simple Green

Is MultiX @ 1:10 dilution okay to use for wheel cleaning instead of Tuga? I'm trying to stay completely in the CarPro line

[@SkyCarCare]

Go with ironX! or Trix (if used with caution). With MultiX for sure, you could use that 1:10 for getting dirt off. IronX will work better for removing baked in Brake dust.

Can you use the TUGA Wheel cleaner on ceramic coated wheels?

[@SkyCarCare]

Great question! Yes you can

[@AlbyOwl3]

How would I use the rust stopper product on the rotors 🤔? :) I have black wheels and always dislike the break dust that ends up right back on there right after one drive the next day 🥲 Thanks!!

[@SkyCarCare]

Sure, after your wash just spray on and wipe off those raw steel areas as best you can.

Hello sir, great video, one question. Do you refill your wheel bucket after 2 wheels because sometimes the water turns black and I don’t want to put that back onto the wheels.

[@SkyCarCare]

Great question! Firstly, we recommend that you have a grit guard in the bottom of the bucket so the heavier contaminants do not flow back up onto the tools. Personally, I also rinse my tools out with the hose while rinsing each wheel so they don't bring much dirt to the bucket.

[@W204DEE]

@@SkyCarCare ahhh thank you

I know that Tuga is your product of choice, but I've had great results with P&S Brake Buster diluted 15:1 in a spray bottle. Follow up with ReTyre for the rubber and the wheel has never looked cleaner.

[@SkyCarCare]

I'm stoked you have a combo you like!

[@chrisbradley9607]

If your wheels are just dirty not dusty then BB works ok, a bit better than soap. It's weak though. What it does not do well at all is remove brake dust for cars with actually dusty brakes. Tuga Green or Koch Chemie MWC are, not even kidding, about 50x as effective as Brake Buster on brake dust.

[@RussellKasem]

@@chrisbradley9607 I’ve heard great things about MWC, but I typically wash my car weekly so my wheels are rarely completely filthy. I like BB because of its value. A whole gallon for $30 which can but cut 1:2 and foamed on the wheels.

I’m too impatient, so I spray Tuga devil on a dry dirty wheel (ceramic coated), then power wash after 5 mins. For tires I spray chemical guys 3in1 tire dressing, 10 secs per tire. It gets the wheel to 90% and I’m good w/that!

[@SkyCarCare]

Thanks for sharing your technique! The first step of deciding what you need to do is to know your goal.

Can you use ReTyer on ceramic coated tires?

[@SkyCarCare]

Great question! You could but it will start to beak down the coating. Furthermore there is no need for a strong cleaner if you have Blackout on your tires. In that case just ash them with Reset until you have decided to add a new dressing or coating to the tire and at that time Retyre is great.
