Caring VelgThroughout the rainy season progresses, the cleanliness and condition of wheels (rim) - especially the type of aluminum - certainly more susceptible to interference. Not only meredupnya glow effect, the threat of corrosion and the emergence of spots often can not be avoided.
Throughout the season, details of recommended treatments performed at least once a week. Just wash the wheels with the car shampoo sometimes not much help. Because, indeed rain - especially when mixed with the muddy waste - often leaving spots are quite disturbing.
Most of the aluminum alloy is produced by coating (coated) stainless. However, efforts to clean aluminum alloy wheels with any cleaning fluid, can also be fatal if incorrectly selected types of chemical compounds. Here are suggestions to keep in mind while you clean, caring, and selecting wheel cleaning materials, so that 'the legs' are still intact and kinclong.
- Clean the rim with pressurized water spray and rinse after menyabunnya on all surfaces. Use an old toothbrush to help remove dirt on the edge of the rim and curve. After drying with a soft cloth fabric, a piece alloy wheels need polishing to restore the sparkle.
- Do not easy to decide to rub rim with a chemical that has a high abrasive power (among other compounds such as chrome polish, rubbing compound, ordinary wax polish was made for body paint). When it was done, instead of aluminum alloy will not kinclong, although some spots may be gone with only a few times rub.
- If you have lost a layer velgI stainless, you should clean the surface of the alloy with chemical compounds such as compound or mag wheel polish. Once clean, ideally this type of wheel you seal with a new paint after sanded flat on the surface. This will help block attacks increased corrosion in the rainy season.
- While the wheels are not coated with anti-corrosion material, it is advisable to immediately cover it with a new paint complete with vernisnya layer. This is important because the level korositas attack streets of salt and humidity will be higher in the rain like musin now.
- Clean the inside of the wheel well because it is often missed part of the eye glance. Sediment dirt in this section - especially due to the brake circuit work - usually more corrosive. The dirt on this side are also more difficult to clean because the aluminum alloy is more vulnerable to attack 'crumbs' other metals.
- Side of a better alloy coated stainless paint so that the damage could not easily be monitored can be avoided.
