Aluminum alloy wheels
Wash regularly with a sponge dampened in a mild soap solution, especially during winter months in areas where road salt is used. Salt could discolor the wheels if not removed.
CAUTION
Follow the directions below to avoid staining or discoloring the wheels:
• Do not use a cleaner that uses
strong acid or alkali contents to
clean the wheels.
• Do not apply wheel cleaners to the
wheels when they are hot. The
wheel temperature should be the
same as ambient temperature.
• Rinse the wheel to completely remove
the cleaner within 15 minutes
after the cleaner is applied.
