Alloy wheels deep cleaned properly. Brake dust removed from all 4 wheels, looking sharp again instead of that grey neglected look.
### Got Grey Wheels Instead of Silver?
That's **brake dust** - the fine metal particles from your brake pads mixing with road grime and baking onto your alloys every time you brake.
Hosing them doesn't touch it. Neither does the car wash. You need **proper wheel cleaner and a bit of elbow grease** to actually dissolve and remove it.
Most people can't be bothered. Fair enough - it's boring work crouched by each wheel. That's where I come in.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Front wheels get way dirtier than rears because they do 70% of the braking. If fronts are black and rears are only grey, that's normal - not a brake problem.

What to Expect

Give it a minute to work on dissolving the brake dust. ### Step 2: Brush & Agitate Work the cleaner into all the spokes and faces with wheel brushes. This is where the dirt actually comes off - not just surface spraying. ### Step 3: Rinse & Dry Pressure rinse to blast off all the loosened muck, quick wipe dry so they don't water-spot. Done.

Good to Know
> 🚗 **Getting car detailed?** If you're having the interior valeted or exterior polished, wheels get done as part of that. This service is for people who just want the wheels sorted without a full detail. **Really bad wheels?** Some alloys are pitted from years of corrosion or have kerb damage. Cleaning helps but won't fix corrosion or scuffs - that's refurbishment territory (different job, different cost). **Want to keep them clean?** After I've done the hard work getting them clean, maintain them yourself with a quick spray and rinse every couple of weeks. Stops the brake dust building up again.
Frequently Asked Questions about Alloy wheel deep clean in Teignmouth
What's involved in a proper alloy wheel clean?
I use proper wheel cleaner that dissolves brake dust (the grey gunk that sticks to alloys), agitate it with a wheel brush to get into all the spokes, then rinse thoroughly. It's more than just hosing them - brake dust is baked on from heat and needs proper cleaning.
Can you get really dirty wheels clean?
Usually yes. If they've not been cleaned for months or years, there'll be thick brake dust buildup. I can get most of it off but really neglected wheels might need a second go or specialist treatment. I'll tell you honestly what's achievable.
Will cleaning damage my wheels?
Not if done properly. I use pH-neutral wheel cleaner that's safe for alloys, not harsh acid cleaners that can etch the surface. Soft brushes, not wire brushes. Your wheels get cleaned safely, not stripped.
How often should alloy wheels be cleaned?
Ideally monthly, realistically when they start looking grey instead of silver. Brake dust is corrosive over time so regular cleaning helps them last. But I'm not here to lecture - just getting them clean when you want them done.
Can you do it at my house?
Yes - I just need water access (outside tap) and somewhere for the dirty water to drain. Your drive is perfect. Brings your car up looking smart without you having to do the boring bit.
