Deep Cleaning DIRTY WHEELS | Satisfying Car Detailing

Today, we're deep cleaning the wheels of this 2008 Honda. Using wheel cleaners, iron remover, and degreasers, we managed to remove most of the dirt and gunk. The wheels were not in perfect condition and there are some spots that are fading and need to be refinished, but overall we're very happy with the results.

Flat off the wheel hub mount areas and the cars hubs with a bit of fine grit paper. Clean off and smear on a thin coat of copper grease. 🙂👍 Extra Pro. A lot of the corrosion on wheels, wheel hubs, brake callipers is from wheel cleaning chemical residues. Too much caustic chemicals. Bilt Hamber Surfex HD degreaser APC has good anti corrosion inhibitors. Great product for all automotive areas. 🙂👍

[@Davidesavoia0908]

Tip: for a more effective action of products my advice is to use first a degreaser, then the iron remover and possibly a tar remover last

[@karenissimocrandall9962]

Seems right

[@ClaimedLocket83]

Tar remover before iron remover as iron particles could be hidden under the tar spots

[@christophermagri3330]

exactly my thought. Actually first a good rinse would not hurt. Rinse/degreaser/rinse/tar-remover/rinse/iron-remover/rinse/ironremoverwithbrush/rinse/gyeontirecleaner/gyeontireexpress

[@amierasycap4870]

@@christophermagri3330 iron remover function ? For rust or something ?

[@StayBlessed87]

Or just some vinegar and baking soda 🤣

[@RogueScum]

Tip: do an initial rinse of the wheels to get off the loose dirt and grime before hitting it with the iron remover. Iron remover could've taken off anything underneath the grime.

[@budlanctot3060]

Maybe for your situation, but not for every situation. Mine were 2 to 3x worse than these wheels, and I've washed them a dozen times with various chemicals, lots of brush agitation, and have yet to find the "magic bullet". Pretty sure, that once the iron/brake dust has been allowed to remain on the wheels long enough, there is no bringing them back without refinishing the wheel.

[@pizzamagee6220]

I do have to say its nice to see someone do this to wheels that are extremely dirty and not some wheels that get washed every week. I do agree with another comment that a hosing or pressure washing could have been done before the iron remover I don't think its a big deal.

[@jmart4166]

I just finish clean my winter rims/tires ... I thought my set were bad ... I used wheel cleaner and dawn soap ... applied turtle wax seal and shine after. Great video ... take care brother!!

[@roscopervis]

Wrong order of products IMO. Wasting expensive iron remover first. Use the degreaser on all the wheel and tyre first. Makes the iron remover far more effective on the cleaner wheel and saves product.

[@SETProtectiveFilms]

roscopervis you got a point sir! I’ll keep that in mind ! Thanks for watching!

[@TripleGAutoDetailing]

Very nice video. Just did this on my Dodge Ram 1500 yesterday. Brush attachment on my cordless drill did wonders for hard to reach spots. 👍

[@tdbone35]

Just curious....why use the small detail brush when you could use a powered drill and cone brush to get the bigger surface cleaner quicker with less effort and the medium nylon bristles dont scratch most surfaces

[@SETProtectiveFilms]

Oh yea thanks man I’ll try them on the next one!

[@maksisdify]

I usually use small detail brush to clean small spaces like where bolt goes or other tight areas

[@CL4SSiCS]

I think a small detail brush is safer...

Here's my way of doing this. 1 high pressure washer only water. 2 super power (agitation a must, some wheels require 2 this step 2 times) 3 iron remover 4 super power again 5 ceramic coating Turtle wax. Hybrid ceramic coating 1. 6 tire dressing 303. Blessings from LA. Bendiciones 🙏🙏🙏

[@johnandrews3568]

So I had an issue where a shop used an imperial socket to remove my metric lug nut.... totally pooching the edges of the nut. Took it to a different shop to get this F up fixed. This entailed drilling off the head of the nut until the wheel could come off, then remove the stud from my hub. In the process, a LOT of oil was used and it stained my polished Audi RS6 Fat Five rim. I've tried a lot of cleaners and degreasers and nothing seems to work. I'm looking to try oven cleaner as a last resort. Any other suggestions to bring the shine back to this polished rim?

[@MudGoose]

My car & my wheels...pretty cool, thanks

[@Sharpidiot]

[@simonemurgia9195]

Are wheel cleaning products that remove iron dust effective on brake disc? Mine has iron accumulated for at least 4 years, brands like Maguiar's, carpo and similar can do a good job?

[@SETProtectiveFilms]

Hey ! i believe if its on the break disc itll be tough and will take too long to remove , but im pretty sure itll help a bit if youre just cleaning it.

[@NewarkNative25]

Hey, what is the name of the stands that you put under the car to hold it up?

[@SETProtectiveFilms]

those are called jack stands

[@stephenwhitemore1719]

Small thing , alloy wheels should have stick on weights on the inside of the rim, hidden behind the spokes. Stay well, stay safe

[@SETProtectiveFilms]

Thank you Stephen!

[@None-kv7sd]

If they have a lip on the outside of the wheel then you damn well hit weights on there. Unless the person states otherwise.

Hey! You can try the P&S brake buster it’s cheap and it works great . And some Iron or fallout remover. That’s pretty much all you need to clean your wheels! Thanks for watching

[@Racer_kmk]

Quick question, can you use conventional paste car wax on your wheels? I mean, some wheels are clear coated…?

[@alyannacalma9826]

Amazing!! 👏🏻

[@SETProtectiveFilms]

Glad you like it!

[@Florian-qx4xi]

Fore those who wants to totally rim restore, you can sandpaper with high stone ratio 5000 10000 ,then you can get rid of these stains from the inside of the rim, try out first on rim you have , you can get more money for that, if the Customer wants a restore, maybe for sell this car

Pretty nasty, neglected wheel barrels. Unfortunately, mine are even worse. Original/previous owners ignored mine for probably 14yrs. That iron/brake dust can permanently damage the wheel finishes when it's allowed to remain on wheel surfaces.

[@XaSxDAVE]

Do you have drainage under all your garage flooring? How are you able to wash on top of it?

[@SETProtectiveFilms]

Dan hey yes! We do have a drainage . Swiss trax are pretty easy to disassemble and to put it back I just vacuum it once a while n

[@Zenobiusz.]

Got some dirty wheels to clean but never so badly like yours. Did you use tire dressing both side or outside only? I always use wax to protect the rims, even cheap fk1000 is better than nothing. For me looks like these rims need to be restored anyway. :)

[@jasondeal298]

Should have used a tar remover and a clay bar. But they do look a 100% better

[@SETProtectiveFilms]

Jason Deal thanks for watching man! But yes to clay bar ! I just didn’t want to use it on this wheels since it’s just my daily! And sadly I don’t have any tar remover at that time.

[@stevenquintanilla9795]

@@SETProtectiveFilms definitely invest in a tar remover. One of my favorite products and worth the cost! I love carpro tar x. My car stays outdoors and gets lots of tree sap on it because of the area I live in. Tar x melts it right off, none of the other typical detail products I use have any effect on it

Would have rinsed the wheels after using the iron remover, you are rubbing all the dirt against the wheel and therefore scratching it..

The wheels needs to get refinish . And Might as well get all the iron remover stay there and use all the cleaning power it has. If it’s a better wheels of course we’ll wash it a diff way. Thanks for watching 🙏

At the beginning step it is much more rational and appropriate to have power washed the looser debris and caked on dust before using rim cleaner. That way you don't have to go back for seconds with the rim cleaner if that is your usual M.O.

@@stevenlittle2947 actually: “The word tire is a short form of attire, from the idea that a wheel with a tire is a dressed wheel. The spelling tyre did not appear until the 1840s when the English began shrink-fitting railway car wheels with malleable iron. Nevertheless, traditional publishers continued using tire. The Times newspaper in London was still using tire as late as 1905.”
