Jul 25, 2024
For car owners, some minor problems will inevitably occur during the use of the car, such as aging of the dashboard, scratches on the car surface, paint loss, etc. Many car owners will think of maintaining and beautifying their car. However, they often ignore the maintenance of the wheel hub. As an important part of the wheel, the wheel hub plays an irreplaceable role. If there is a problem with the wheel hub, the car will have direct safety problems. Today, the editor will teach you how to maintain aluminum alloy wheels. Car owners who don't know how to do it should come and have a look.
1. When the wheel is stained with asphalt that is difficult to remove, if the usual cleaning agent is useless, you can try to remove it with a brush, but avoid using a hard brush, especially an iron brush, to avoid damaging the surface of the wheel. Here, I would like to introduce a folk remedy for removing asphalt from private car owners: that is, choose to apply medicinal "active oil" to achieve unpredictable results. You may wish to try it.
2. When the wheel temperature is higher, it should be allowed to cool naturally before cleaning. Never use cold water to clean it. Otherwise, the aluminum alloy wheel hub will be damaged, and even the brake disc will be deformed, affecting the braking effect. In addition, cleaning the aluminum alloy wheel hub with a cleaning agent at high temperature will cause a chemical reaction on the wheel hub surface, causing it to lose its luster and affect its appearance.
3. If necessary, the wheel can be waxed and maintained after cleaning to keep its luster forever.
4. If the vehicle is located in a humid place, the wheel hub should be cleaned frequently to prevent salt from corroding the aluminum surface.
