How to Clean and Shine Your Tyres Without Damaging Them

Clean wheels and glossy tyres can transform the look of your car — but only if done right. Many car owners use household products or the wrong tools, which can strip the rubber, leave stains, or damage the rims. Here’s how to safely clean and dress your tyres for that professional finish using Detailer BRO tools built for the job.

1. Rinse Off Loose Dirt and Brake Dust

Use a high-pressure hose to blast away mud, brake dust, and road grime from the tyre and rim. This step helps loosen debris and prevents scratching when scrubbing later.

2. Scrub with a Wheel Brush

Use a soft yet sturdy brush like the SwiftWheel Car Wheel Brush or the Midnight Wheel Brush to clean the tyre sidewalls and wheel face. Work in circular motions with a wheel-safe cleaner and rinse thoroughly.

3. Focus on Inner Rims and Hard-to-Reach Areas

Use the LongHair Pro Wheel Brush or the FlexBand Wheel Cleaning Strap to reach behind spokes and deep barrel areas. These tools bend and flex to fit tight spaces without scratching the metal.

4. Dry Before Dressing

Dry the tyres with a dedicated microfiber towel before applying any dressing. This ensures the product adheres properly and prevents sling.

5. Apply Tyre Dressing Evenly

Use the GripFoam Tyre Dressing Sponge to apply an even layer of dressing around the tyre. Avoid applying too much product or letting it touch the tread area. Let it sit for a few minutes before wiping off any excess for a clean, satin or glossy finish (depending on your product).
