Aluminium wheels
1. Remove dirt using a sponge while sprinkling water on the wheel.
2. Use neutral detergent on any dirt that cannot be removed easily with water.
Rinse off the neutral detergent after washing the wheel.

Caution
► Do not use a brush or other hard implement on the wheels.
Doing so could scratch the wheels.

Doing so could cause the coating on the wheels to peel or become discoloured or
stained.

as soon as possible.
