How to maintain car wheels

Car wheels are easy to scratch. The reporter found that the scratched wheels are usually due to the owner driving on the sidewalk or parking without maintaining a distance from the edge of the road. Therefore, when driving, we should carefully observe the road conditions and the surrounding terrain to avoid damage to the wheel hub due to negligence. Insiders say that in order to maintain the appearance of the wheel, in addition to taking extra care to prevent accidental damage to the wheel during driving, it is necessary to regularly maintain the wheel.

Generally, the wheel hub should be thoroughly cleaned once a week. Wash away the sand attached to the surface of the hub, brake pad leftovers, and salts that can easily cause damage to the hub. Otherwise, the surface of the alloy will be corroded and damaged. After the cleaning work is completed, the inner and outer surfaces of the wheel hub are treated with anti-acid cleaner. In addition, it is best to wax the wheel every two months so as to extend the service life of the wheel. But be careful not to use paint brightener or other abrasive materials on the wheel. Because this will destroy the wheel surface's protective layer. When the protective paint is damaged, such as when it is scratched by a hard object during driving, the alloy wheel should be repaired as soon as possible and re-painted.

Some professionals told reporters that the owner can install a small mirror to expand the rear view, so as not to scratch the hub when reversing.
