Shop wheel and tyre care products for cars, vans and trucks. Find cleaners, brushes, wheel protection and tyre dressings at WaxO’lux.
Each part of the wheel needs different care, from the inner barrel to the tyre sidewall. Brake dust collects between the spokes and around the wheel nuts, while road grime and old dressing build up on the sidewall. Choose the cleaners, brushes and finishing products that suit the wheels and tyres on your truck, van or car.
A suitable wheel cleaner loosens brake dust and road grime. Choose your brush according to where the dirt collects. A flat wheel brush fits through tight gaps between spokes. For a deep wheel barrel, look for a brush that reaches all the way to the back edge.
If the sidewall still looks brown or patchy after rinsing, a tyre cleaner helps loosen build-up and old dressing. Use a firm tyre brush to scrub away dirt around raised lettering and in the grooves. Once the sidewall is clean and dry, apply a thin coat of tyre dressing to restore a deep black, satin finish.
When washing a tractor unit and trailer, start by looking at the wheels you find hardest to clean. A brush that fits between the spokes on the front wheels may be too short to reach the back of a deeper wheel on another axle. Use a separate brush for the tyre sidewalls to keep grit from the rubber off the wheel finish.
Choose your pack size based on how often you wash. A spray bottle is handy for your own vehicle. If you regularly wash several trucks, use a larger container to refill your spray bottle. Keep a separate applicator pad for spreading tyre dressing evenly across wide sidewalls.
