Even the most meticulous of car owners may not take the extra time to clean their car's tires while washing their vehicle. Most experts agree, however, that you should make and effort to do so in order to get the most out of your tires.
Why Clean the Tires?
Tires that are not cleaned regularly build up dirt, grease, salt and other contaminants on the road. The longer these contaminants remain on your tires, the more likely your tires are to deteriorate faster.The more often you clean your tires, the more likely you are to be aware of any nails or foreign materials that may lodge in your tires, removing them before they can do real damage.c
Step 1: Materials
Gather the following materials:1. Tire cleaner
2. Garden hose with high-pressure nozzle
3. Bristle brush
4. Towel
NOTE: If you have designer tires, hubcaps or rims, make sure you purchase a tire cleaner and brush that are safe to use and will not harm these expensive components.c
Step 2: Cleaning
1. Take your hose and spray down each tire.2. Spray the tire cleaner onto the tires and follow the instructions for the amount of time you let it set.
3. Scrub the tires with your bristle brush to remove contaminants and the tire cleaner.
4. Rinse the tires with your hose to remove all traces of dirt and tire cleaner.
5. If necessary, reapply your tire cleaner and repeat Steps 3 through 4 until your tires are clean.c
