Cleaning steel wheels
Stubborn brake dust can be removed with an industrial cleaner. Clean steel wheels regularly with a
separate sponge.
Repair any paint damage on steel wheels before rust begins to form.
Cleaning alloy wheels
Every 2 weeks: Wash road salt and brake dust off alloy wheels, and clean the wheels with an acid-
free detergent. Every 3 months: Volkswagen recommends applying a hard wax compound to the
wheels.
If road salt and brake dust are not removed regularly, they can corrode the metal.
Use an acid-free detergent specifically designed for light alloy wheels. Do not use car polish or other
abrasive products.
If the protective coating is damaged, for example by stone impact, repair the damaged area right
away.
