Hi Rachel, congratulations on your new GR86! To keep your aluminum wheels looking great, make sure to clean them regularly with a mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they can cause damage. Also, regularly apply a protective wax or sealant to prevent corrosion.

Hi Rachel, as an owner of a GR86 myself, I can tell you that keeping the wheels clean is key. Use a soft brush to avoid scratching the surface and avoid parking near construction sites that may have debris that can cause damage. Regularly inspect for any signs of corrosion and address them promptly.

Hello Rachel, I recommend investing in a wheel-specific cleaner and using it at least once a month. This will help remove any built-up brake dust and grime. Also, make sure to rinse thoroughly with water to avoid any product residue. Don't forget to regularly check the air pressure in the tires as well.

Hi Rachel, I highly recommend using a wheel protectant to prevent brake dust from bonding to the wheels. This will make cleaning easier and keep them looking like new. Also, avoid using automatic car washes as the harsh chemicals and brushes can damage the wheels.

Hey Rachel, as a car enthusiast, I've found that the best way to maintain the glossy finish of aluminum wheels is to use a wheel polish. This will remove any surface imperfections and bring out the shine. Also, try not to drive on rough roads too often to avoid scratches.
