One guy came in with black rims. At least he thought they were black. After we scrubbed ’em, they turned out silver. He laughed, said he forgot what they really looked like.
At Soto Car Detailing, wheel washing isn’t just for looks. It’s about safety, too. Clean wheels help tires work better and last longer. Dirty ones? They hide cracks, leaks, and damage.
Why Wheel Washing Helps
Why Wheel Washing HelpsYour wheels take hits every day. Dirt, sand, brake dust, salt—all that stuff sticks. It doesn’t just sit there. It eats at the finish. It can wear down metal. It can even mess with air pressure.
Clean wheels also help your car drive smoother. And yeah, they look way better rolling down the street.
How We Wash Wheels
First, we rinse off the dirt. Then we spray on a wheel-safe cleaner. We let that soak a bit. After that, we scrub each part with soft brushes. Then rinse again and dry with a clean towel.
- Brake dust remover
- Non-scratch wheel brushes
- Low-pressure rinse
- Tire shine (if you want it)
Stories from the Bay
One customer rolled in after a trip from Boise. His wheels were covered in bugs and sand. Said they looked too far gone. We took our time, did a full wash. He came back around just to say thanks again.
Another guy came in with rust-colored brake dust caked into his rims. It took two full rounds, but we got them clean. “I didn’t think that was possible,” he told us.
What Wheels We Work On
- Alloy
- Steel
- Painted or clear-coated
- Chrome
- Aftermarket rims
Different wheels need different care. Some scratch easy. Some stain. We clean each one the right way.
How Often Should You Get It Done?
Once a month is good if you drive a lot. If you hit dirt roads, even more. Brake dust builds fast. It can bake in if you wait too long.
Can I Wash My Own Wheels?
Sure, but most folks don’t have the right brushes or soap. Using the wrong stuff can scratch them. We see it all the time. That’s why it’s better to let us do it.
