when it comes to cleaning your wheels it's really important that you've got the right
tools to not only do the job efficiently but to do it quickly as well and that's
what today's video is all about today we're going to be showing you exactly
how to clean your wheels in five easy steps and we're going to start it off with step number one
kicking it off with step number one what we're going to be doing is giving it a rinse and the
idea behind it is to make sure we get rid of as much loose grit as possible it's really important
that we do that before we start the contact wash stage because the idea is you want to minimalize
any risk of causing any scratches for this task you'll need a bucket of water with ph neutral
shampooing some wheel cleaner or fallout remover wheel woolies a soft brush a tire brush some
towels and some tyre dressing and as an added bonus some quick detailer which i'll explain
later in the video so now the rinsing process of the four wheels has been taken care of it's now
time to put a bit of wheel cleaner on the wheels and for today's video i'm using yum
wheels and what that's going to basically do is break down any iron particles or anything nasty
that shouldn't be in the wheels so we're going to let that dwell for about three to four minutes
so normally i would say just do one wheel at a time and focus on that
because you don't want to start letting bits dry on the other wheels so what we're going to
do is just take it easy one wheel at a time and then we're going to break out the wheel woollies
while the wheel cleaner slash fallout remover is dwelling you can make use of the time by cleaning
the tires with some apc and a vicam brush when it comes to doing the faces of the wheels i like to
use these yum cars soft brushes and they're so soft they're so delicate they're probably the
softest brush i think i've ever used in my life one thing i want to mention about when you do
the wheels is always start top down because what you'll find is a lot of the chemical will actually
seep down to the bottom so that way you're not going to be wasting as much product as if you're
going to be spraying the bottom and then working your way up so that's a top tip it will save you a
little bit i'm not going to say it's going to save you loads and loads of chemical but every little
bit helps these are wheel woollies and what's great about these is the fact they can hold a
lot of chemical a lot of water which means your wheels are constantly going to be lubricated so
yes as you can see these are really thick they can hold a lot of water a lot of chemical but i know
it looks really chunky but you'll be surprised how tight a gap you can actually fit this particular
one in but however if that is too thick you can switch it down to one of these narrow ones and
this is really good as well but if that is still too thick and you've got spokey wheels then go for
one of these now this one is super thin and what's great about these is the fact they come on a
really long stick so when you stick your hands in you're not going to hurt your knuckles or anything
so the long ones are really good for getting down all the tight areas but what about behind
the spokes that's where these come in what i love about these is the fact you can get behind
the spokes without having to sort of use the stick to and scratch any part of the wheels now
it's such a clever idea and it does make your life a lot easier you can simply do it in a matter of
seconds and that's they're just so good as well so you get one medium-sized one and you get one like
super thin one and they're just absolutely perfect and i love them i think they're really really good
another power tip for you right here get yourself some decent quick detailer and spray a fresh
clean cloth slightly and then start by dabbing the wheels as the detailer will act as a rinse aid and
it will also offer a short-term protection plus it will also offer fantastic gloss to your wheels to

with the wheels all protected there's only one thing left
it's the tyre dressing now this is drifter from bear car care
and this happens to be one of my favorite dressings out there and what we're going to
be doing is using it with the yum applicator pad as well and we're just gonna work it in
so there you have it guys this is just a quick and easy way of maintaining your wheels for a regular
wash and if you do it regularly with a decent shampoo you will save yourself money as you
won't need to keep forking out on wheel cleaners all the time and if you want serious long-term
protection then make sure you use something like g-technic c5 wheel armor and coming up
in the next few weeks i will be featuring that product on a number of wheels and we're going to
be taking the wheels off and showing you exactly how to protect them for the harsh winter months
i mean it's great for getting in these tight areas and you can get pretty much anywhere
with these so by having all five of these brushes it's gonna it's gonna be perfect it's gonna say
