Care for wheels, tyre sidewalls and glass

Separate cleaning from dressing or coating and respect surface restrictions.

Follow the method

  1. 01

    Clean cool wheels with finish-compatible products and dedicated tools, then rinse before the cleaner dries.

    Why: Wheel finishes differ, and wheel contamination should stay away from paint tools.

  2. 02

    For Tyre Seal, clean and completely dry the tyre sidewall. Pour a small amount onto a dedicated sponge or applicator.

    Why: The retail method is pour-on application to dry sidewalls.

  3. 03

    Spread tyre dressing thinly, keep it off tread and brake surfaces, and wait until fully dry before driving.

    Why: Excess dressing and wet product should not be carried onto areas needing grip.

  4. 04

    Clean glass with a compatible automotive cleaner and dedicated cloths first.

    Why: Routine cleaning may resolve smears without abrasive treatment.

  5. 05

    Use Clarity only when suitable unfilmed exterior glass needs its abrasive stain treatment; follow the exact label method.

    Why: Clarity has material restrictions and can remove existing glass protection.

  6. 06

    Plan any Window Coat or Wheel Coat installation using its complete current procedure and curing requirements.

    Why: Coating installation is a separate operation from ordinary cleaning.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Using Wheel Coat as a wheel cleaner.
  • Putting Tyre Seal on wet tyres, tread or brakes.
  • Using Clarity on mirrors, interior glass or films.
  • Treating Window Coat as a replacement for wipers.

Put it into practice

A practical activity

Sort the tools for wheel cleaning, tyre dressing and glass care without mixing their jobs.

Check your result

Wheels and sidewalls have no excess product; glass is completely clear and wipers remain in service.

Explain it in your own words

Why is a tyre dressing different from wheel coating or glass treatment?
