Wheel Cleaning

When it come to wheels there are thousands of differing types. We see them all from the economy ones on everyday cars through to the bespoke ones costing thousands of pounds a time, it is important to know that when you take your car to be valeted that they will not use the wrong types of cleaners and acids resulting in major damage being done to them. I have come across people who have made this mistake in the past and it can be very costly indeed.

The worst case was when a valeter ran out of his usual acid and decided to use sulphuric acid from a car battery lying about in his unit, as you can image it stripped the alloy in seconds and the valeter concerned was not insured and simply changed his mobile phone and disappeared into the mist of time. On another occasion a Porsche owner had custom made gold plated centre inserts on his alloys and a chap used an incorrect acid and removed the gold plating, not a happy customer as you can imagine. "In life you get what you pay for".
