Who
wouldn’t want to maintain the cleanliness of the tires of their cars?
Unfortunately, tires do get dirty especially when the rainy season comes
in Tampa. But we need to clean tires, nonetheless, as this is essential
to maintain them and to prevent the onset of wear and tear. Here are
five tips on how you can easily clean tires and make them look as good
as new.
1. Shampoo your new tires
Dozens
of cleaning products are found in the market. They often come in
powdered form. When dissolved in water, they transform into a frothy
shampoo-like solution that effectively rids tires of dirt and debris.
2. Use sprays.
Application
of cleaning solutions can either be done using a cloth or a spray. The
spray is the more convenient option between the two, though. With
sprays, you do not have to spend time pouring cleaning solutions on
cloth before applying it on the tires. You directly apply cleaning
solutions on new tires through the sprays.
3. Explore stiff brushes
If
your tire has old dressing made from petroleum or silicone, you may
need to use a very stiff brush to clean it. Some people just dig their
fingernails into the current dressing, but this is not hygienic, of
course. Spray a light amount of tire cleaner or all purpose cleaner on
the tire and scrub with a short bristle brush. Scrub in a circular
motion until the existing dressing balls up and begins to loosen.
4. Make use of microfibers
Microfiber
was originally designed for cleaning, long before retailers demanded
plush versions for the purposes of polishing and removing wax. You will
be amazed with microfiber’s performance as a cleaner. Use microfiber
when scrubbing your new tires. The amount of junk removed by the
microfiber from your tires will surprise you.
5. Apply tire wax
Preventing
dirt from sticking onto your new tires is the best way of making them
clean. Apply tire wax on your new tires so they won’t be easily affected
by dirt. Tire wax acts as tire protectors. With tire protectors, you
can rest assured that half of the dirt never goes to your tire.
Do
not let the rainy season of Tampa rip you off your right to drive with
clean wheels all across town. Clean your tires regularly to maintain
them in their optimum performance.
