The Ultimate 3-Step Wheel Cleaning
A specialized process
Nothing ruins the look of a freshly washed car faster than dirty, brake-dust-covered rims.
At Northern Lights Car Wash, we understand that wheels require a different level of attention than the rest of your vehicle. That’s why we offer our specialized 3-step wheel cleaning process, available with our Great and Works washes.
As Winnipeg’s most technologically advanced car wash, we use a combination of chemistry and precision equipment to ensure your wheels shine as brightly as your paint.
Why Wheels Need More: The Value of 3-Step Wheel Cleaning
Your wheels are the closest part of your car to the road, meaning they face unique challenges that a standard rinse simply can’t handle.
Dissolving Corrosive Brake Dust
Brake dust isn’t just dirt; it’s a mixture of iron filings, carbon fibers, and adhesive polymers. When you brake, these hot particles blast onto your rims and bond to the surface.
Our 3-step wheel cleaning uses a targeted chemical application to break these bonds, preventing the “pitting” and permanent corrosion that can ruin expensive alloy wheels.
Removing Road Grime and Salt
Because wheels are in constant contact with Winnipeg roads, they take the brunt of road salt and oily grime.
Our multi-stage process ensures that these contaminants are neutralized and removed from the spokes and the barrels of the rims, protecting your wheels’ finish throughout the harsh seasons.
The Process: How 3-Step Wheel Cleaning Works
We don’t just spray your tires; we follow a dedicated sequence to ensure a professional-grade result.
- Step 1: Targeted Chemical Pre-Soak: As you enter the wash, a specialized wheel-cleaning agent is applied directly to the rims. This formula is specifically designed to penetrate and loosen heavy brake dust and road oils.
- Step 2: High-Pressure Blasting: Once the chemicals have had time to work, high-pressure water nozzles target the wheels. This stage blasts away the loosened grime from the intricate areas of the spokes that sponges often miss.
- Step 3: Precision Brush Agitation: Our specialized wheel brushes provide gentle yet effective physical agitation. These brushes are designed to follow the contour of your rims, ensuring that the final layer of stubborn film is removed for a showroom finish.
