The instructor who teaches is Richard Tipper, one of the influencers who is currently having a big influence on cars.

That is "how to make the wheel as beautiful as a professional". I'm also interested in this.

Then I would like to see it.

How to wash the wheel

  • It is advisable to wash the wheels before washing the entire car. Because the wheels are often the dirtiest part of the car. Therefore, when washing this wheel, it is better to prepare a bucket different from washing the whole car.
  • It's better to buy a "wheel brush" made of microfiber instead of a hard brush material. To avoid scratches, the brush handle should be made of plastic instead of metal.

Is it okay to say something here? ?? ??

No, I think that the wheel brush demon hand Jr, who I think is indispensable for cleaning the wheels of my car, is exactly this "handle is plastic and microfiber", isn't it? ~! !!

Features of the wheel brush itself recommended by Tipper! !! Somehow, I feel recognized (simple).

Oh, I'm sorry, I'll continue ^^

  • In addition, a cleaner gel for nonionic surfactant is also required. I never use acidic cleaners for wheel cleaning. Especially for Porsche with PCCB. This is because the disc hub is anodized (anodized), so an acidic cleaner will damage the surface.
  • This cleaner works very well (although it can smell). It is made to change color, so when you use it, you can feel that it works well due to the change in color. It can be seen that most of them turn purple and react to the iron in the brake dust.
  • The best way to clean the wheels is to remove them from the car and clean them. But if that's difficult, spray a nonionic surfactant onto a cold wheel. Avoid spraying on brake discs and brake pads as much as possible.
  • After spraying, allow some time for it to work on every corner of the wheel.
  • Then came the wheel brush. There are various sizes, so use a size that is easy to use according to the part of the wheel to be washed. Use a brush to spread the cleaner you just applied over the entire wheel, paying attention to the valves and lug nuts.
  • Don't forget the inside of the wheel for a perfect finish. If you have a Porsche Carrera GT, in that case it is difficult to put the wheel brush on the back side because the caliper is just behind the wheel, but by turning the wheel 1/4 at a time, little by little You will also be able to wash the back part.
  • Finally, wash everything clean. However, do not use a high-pressure washer to apply high-pressure water from nearby. It is enough to wash it off gently.
  • Some people use products that make tires glossy, but there is one caveat. For those who keep their cars covered, it's best not to use this tire polish. Because the inside of the cover gets dirty ...

That's how Richard Tipper cleaned the wheels.

When I read this, I thought that I had a wheel coating, so in this washing method, I felt that it was clean without using a "nonionic surfactant cleaner". I wonder.

It is no exaggeration to say that wheel cleaning has become the most "favorite place to wash" after having the wheel coating, although it used to be the most "tired if you don't get enthusiastic" ^^
