2023 Ford E-350 Cleaning the Wheels

CLEANING THE WHEELS

The easiest way to clean vehicle rims and tires is to use a pressure washer. If you don‘t have a pressure washer, you can use a hose to rinse the rims and tires. You can also use a power washer, but it‘s not as effective as a pressure washer. If you‘re cleaning the rims and tires by hand, you can use a brush and soapy water to scrub the rims and tires.

1. Regularly clean them with a wheel cleaner. We recommend that you use a Ford-approved wheel cleaner if available.
2. Remove dirt and break dust with a sponge.
3. Remove tar and grease with a bug and tar remover. We recommend that you use Ford-approved bug and tar remover if available.
4. Thoroughly rinse the wheels with water after cleaning.

If you intend on parking your vehicle for an extended period after cleaning the wheels with a wheel cleaner, drive your vehicle for a few minutes before doing so. This reduces the risk of corrosion of the brake discs, brake pads and linings.
Do not clean the wheels when they are hot.

Note: Some car washes could damage wheel rims and covers.
Note: Using non-recommended cleaners, harsh cleaning products, chrome wheel cleaners or abrasive materials could damage wheel rims and covers.
