How do you clean car wheels?
I noticed my car wheels are starting to get rusty. I want to keep my car in good condition, but I don't have a lot of hands-on experience with cleaning metal and I don't know how to get rid of rust. How do I clean car wheels?

“Good for you for wanting to keep your car in shape! The easiest way to clean your car wheels is to take your car to a car wash.
When going through an automatic car wash, large brushes and strong water sprays will clean your wheels. They also use soap and cleaner to remove any built up dirt.
If you don’t have access to an automatic car wash, a manual car wash or hose will work. Any jet setting or sprayer will apply enough force to keep your wheels clean.
Since they are starting to get rusty, you want to be sure that you are drying your wheels immediately after washing. You can also apply a wheel cleaner, rust remover, or rust stopper to prevent any further
rust damage
. If you want to make sure your car stays in good shape, it might be good to take a look at your current insurance policy to ensure that you have all the coverage you need. One easy way to do this is by using the
