What You Ought To Know About Wheel Care

Are you aware of how vital it is to maintain the wheels on your vehicle? Brake dust poses a massive threat to your wheels and, over time, the rest of your car. If you get an exterior detail with Garza Detailing, we'll remove the brake dust accumulating on your wheels.

The Dangers of Brake Dust
Brake dust is the residue of metal shavings and carbon fiber that rub off the brake pad and rotor. Most rims are made of a metallic alloy, making it easy for the dust to build up quickly. Brake dust corrodes wheels, which leads to rusting.

Rust quickly accumulates when you store your car in a moist environment. When wheel rust spreads, the metal becomes brittle and prone to cracking. Once it spreads to structural components, such as the chassis and suspension, your vehicle won't be safe to drive, and you'll lower its resale value.

Typically, wheel wells are the first to rust because they're constantly exposed to water, dirt, and grime flung from the vehicle. Unfortunately, the rusting is easy to overlook in a hidden spot, like the wheel well. You need your wheel well to function because it protects the other drivers on the road.

How Garza Detailing Will Protect Your Wheels
Detailing your wheels at least twice a year is an excellent way to maintain them. Garza Detailing will use iron decon to remove brake dust from the barrels, spokes, and other parts of your wheels. Additionally, we can use a ceramic coating to protect the wheels from cracking and rusting, prolonging their lifespan. You can't get as complete cleaning and protection like that in a drive-through car wash!
