Why is it that the fancier the wheels, the harder they are to keep clean? Well, let’s not get into the philosophical conundrums of fancy wheel ownership, and just focus on the real world practice of keeping those fancy wheels and rims clean.

Today’s How-To Tuesday article will help you achieve perfectly shined shoes for your Lexus. And yes, we know it’s not a fun DIY task, but it’s one that you really should be able to do on your own. Today’s article should help make the task a little bit easier, and a lot more productive.

Once you purchase all the cleaning supplies, proper wheel cleaning is a relatively easy, inexpensive job that shouldn’t take you more than a half hour to accomplish. Supplies include an assortment of bristle brushes, sponges and applicator pads, wheel cleaner, tire cleaner, and dressing. And if you have a leaf blower, that should help too.

The article will walk you through all the steps, from picking which cleaners and supplies to use, to pre-soaking, to scrubbing, to rinsing, to drying, to polishing and applying the tire dressing. And there’s a few pro tips thrown in to boot.
