Why Your Wheels and Rims Need Special Attention During a Car Wash

When people think about washing their car, they often focus on the body and windows, forgetting one crucial area—the wheels and rims. Your tires are constantly exposed to road grime, brake dust, dirt, and even corrosive materials like salt and tar. Over time, if left untreated, this buildup can lead to damage, discoloration, and even rust.

At Raging Waters Car Wash, we offer a Rim and Wheel Blaster service that targets these problem areas, ensuring your wheels not only look spotless but also stay in great condition for longer.

The Hidden Dirt: Why Wheels & Rims Get Extra Dirty

Your car’s wheels encounter some of the harshest conditions on the road:
🚗 Brake Dust: Every time you press the brakes, tiny metal particles from the brake pads get released and stick to your wheels.
🚗 Road Salt & Tar: In winter or rainy seasons, road salt and tar can accumulate, leading to corrosion if not removed.
🚗 Mud & Dirt: Whether you drive on highways or backroads, dirt and grime cling to the wheels more than any other part of the car.

Ignoring this buildup can result in staining, pitting, and permanent wheel damage over time.

How the Rim & Wheel Blaster Works

Our Rim and Wheel Blaster service is specifically designed to tackle these tough contaminants with high-pressure cleaning and deep-cleaning solutions.

High-Pressure Jets: Break down and blast away brake dust, tar, and grime from even the hardest-to-reach areas.
Safe Cleaning Agents: Loosen stubborn dirt and contaminants without damaging the finish of your rims.
Protective Finishing Touches: Helps prevent future buildup and leaves your wheels looking polished and new.

💡 Tip: If your wheels have chrome, alloy, or matte finishes, regular professional cleaning helps prevent oxidation and keeps them looking sleek.
