Volkswagen Touran Service Manual: Light Alloy Wheels, Care and Maintenance
To maintain the decorative appearance of light alloy wheels
for a long time, regular care is necessary. |
In particular, road salt and dust from brake abrasion must
be thoroughly washed off every two weeks. Otherwise, the paint
of the light alloy wheel will be attacked. |
The following are appropriate cleaning agents: |
Water or water and soft soap |
Water and vinegar essence |
Light alloy wheel cleaning agents without acids or harsh
solvents |
Do not exceed the soaking time of the cleaning agent. |
The shorter the specified soaking time is, the stronger and
more aggressive the cleaning solution is. |
Fix paint damage as soon as possible. Refer to
→ Chapter "Light Alloy Wheels, Preparing". |
Removing Adhesive Residue from Glued Balance Weights on
Light Alloy Rims |
Harsh solvents and acids attack the paint on light alloy
wheels and the surface of the wheel becomes matte and milky.
These agents therefore must not be used. |
To remove adhesive residue on light alloy wheels, use light
alloy cleansers or benzene-based cleanser. Do not exceed the
soaking time of the cleaning agent. |
After cleaning or removing adhesive residue on the tires,
they must be rinsed again with water. |
