The product offers great flexibility and can be adapted to different levels of dirt through various dilutions:
- For deep cleaning of particularly stubborn dirt, dilute the product in a ratio of 1:3 (one part product for three parts water).
- To deal with dirt typical of the winter season, the recommended dilution is 1:5.
- For lighter dirt, typical of summer, use a dilution of 1:10.
Apply the product by spraying it directly onto the rim and tread of the tyre, making sure the surface is cold, and leave to act for 2-5 minutes without it drying.
Extend the application also to the wheel arch for a complete cleaning of the area.
After letting the product act, you can intervene mechanically to facilitate the removal of the most stubborn dirt.
Then proceed with a thorough rinse.
If the dirt persists, you can repeat the operation using a brush or brush to reach the most hidden and difficult parts. The combination of the mechanical action and the product formula produces a lubricating foam that encloses dirt, making it easier to eliminate during rinsing. The product can also be dispensed in the form of foam using a device such as the Nebula Foam hand pump. Even if the product is not designed to be used without mechanical action, the use of a pressure washer can allow, in cases of not too resistant dirt, to proceed without direct intervention. When finished, your rims will be completely clean and free of tire polish residue, ready for a safe hand wash.
If after using "Wheel and Tire Cleaner" you still notice deposits, especially in the gaps of the rims, it could be ferrous contamination rather than road dirt. In these cases, the use of a specific decontaminant such as "Iron Remover" is recommended to easily remove such residues.
