The Wheel and Tire Detailing Process:

  • Wheel Cleaning: Wheels are cleaned using brushes and tools designed for different types of wheel finishes. This step eliminates dirt, grime, and other contaminants that accumulate on the surface.

  • Tire Cleaning: Tires are scrubbed to remove built-up dirt and old tire dressing. This step prepares the tires for the application of a new tire dressing later in the process.

  • Polishing and Waxing: Depending on the type of wheels, a polishing step may be included to restore shine and remove minor imperfections. Applying wheel wax or sealant provides an extra layer of protection against environmental elements.

  • Tire Dressing Application: Tire dressing is applied to the sidewalls of the tires, not only enhancing their appearance but also providing protection against UV rays and preventing premature cracking.
