Cleaning the Wheels
- Regularly clean them with a wheel cleaner. We recommend that you use Ford approved wheel cleaner if available.
- Remove dirt and brake dust with a sponge.
- Remove tar and grease with a bug and tar remover. We recommend that you use Ford approved bug and tar remover if available.
- Thoroughly rinse the wheels with water after cleaning.
If you intend on parking your vehicle for an extended period after cleaning the wheels with a wheel cleaner, drive your vehicle for a few minutes before doing so. This reduces the risk of corrosion of the brake discs, brake pads and linings.
Do not clean the wheels when they are hot.
Note:
Some car washes could damage wheel rims and covers.
Note:
Using non-recommended cleaners, harsh cleaning products, chrome wheel cleaners or abrasive materials could damage wheel rims, covers and bolts.
