Cleaning OEM tinted windows and OEM wheels
Do I need to take any special precautions in cleaning the inside windows or the 698 wheels to avoid damage to the tint or to any coating or special surface on the wheels? Thanks

wheels are clearcoated, so any cleaner you would use on your paint is fine.

There is a product from Chemical Guys called Max Coat Wheel Guard. I put it on my wheels and 6 months later it was still working by keeping dirt off. This stuff is REALLY slick. I did washes every weekend in that time too and thousands of miles. Most of the brake dust would wash off just with the hose. I only hand washed it when I went to car shows to get the very fine, almost invisible layer of stuck dirt.

Thanks.
Would it make sense to use Meguiar's Cleaner+Wax on washed wheels? Or just wax? Or polish?

Ceramic coating would be a good one for wheels... Then wax that. |
