Directions:
1. Prepare the Cleaning Area: Ensure you're in a suitable environment for cleaning, such as a driveway with good drainage. Avoid areas where cleaning products might cause damage.
2. Gather Cleaning Supplies: You'll need safety glasses, gloves, a wheel cleaner or dish soap, warm water, a spray bottle, a soft brush (like the SM Arnold 85-799), and a microfiber cloth.
3. Initial Rinse: Wet the wheel and spokes with water to remove loose dirt and debris. This step helps to prevent scratching the surface during scrubbing.
4. Apply Cleaner: Spray the wheel cleaner or a soapy water solution onto the wheel and spokes. Allow it to soak for a few minutes to loosen tough grime.
5. Scrubbing: Use the spoke wheel brush to gently scrub the wheel and spokes. Pay special attention to the areas between the spokes and other hard-to-reach places.
6. Rinse Thoroughly: After scrubbing, rinse the wheel and spokes thoroughly to remove all the soap and loosened dirt.
7. Dry the Wheel: Use a clean microfiber cloth to dry the wheel and spokes. This step helps prevent water spots and removes any remaining dirt.
8. Repeat if Necessary: If the wheel is still dirty, repeat the cleaning process focusing on the stubborn areas.
9. Inspect for Rust: Check for any rust on the spokes. If present, use a suitable rust remover, apply it as per the product instructions, and gently scrub with the brush.
10. Final Rinse and Dry: After rust removal, rinse the wheel again and dry it thoroughly with a microfiber cloth.
