When mentioning the maintenance of the car, the owners often think of the paint and the engine first, and the wheel hub is the most easily overlooked place.

It is this seemingly inconspicuous place that just reveals the owner's taste, so don't ignore the wheel when you are equipped with a car. So how should the hub be maintained? The Aluminum Alloy Wheels Supplier will come to tell you.


When there are stains on the surface of the hub that are difficult to remove, use a professional cleaning agent, which is often able to remove stains gently and effectively, reducing damage to the surface of the aluminum alloy. In addition, there is a metal protective film on the hub itself, so pay special attention to the use of paint brighteners or other abrasive materials. Care should also be taken during driving to avoid scratching the hub caused by scratches. Once scratches or deformations, they should be repaired and repainted as soon as possible.

There are six steps in the specific steps of repairing: the first step, check the scars, if not injured to the inside of the hub, you can simply repair, use the paint dilution, wipe the scar around, remove the dirt; the second step, the deepest part of the scratch It is very difficult to remove the dirt, then you can use a toothpick to completely clean it; the third step: in order to prevent accidentally apply the unrelated part of the paint, it is best to carefully stick the adhesive tape around the scar; the fourth step, finishing The tip of the brush is painted with a lacquer. The lacquer shrinks slightly after drying. It is best to apply a little bulge. The fifth step, after painting, takes about a week to dry completely. After drying, apply the soapy water on the water-resistant paper to smooth the surface. In the sixth step, after rubbing with water-resistant paper, use a mixture to wipe out the light, and then wax.


If you encounter deep scars, the key is to observe whether the metal surface is exposed. For Aluminum Alloy Wheels, if you can't see the metal surface, it will not rust. You can concentrate on the finishing paint. Use a pen tip to pick up the spot and wait until the paint is completely dry. To avoid this phenomenon, the car should be diligently flushing the rim when it is first used. The vehicle that is driven every day should wash the rim at least once a week. After flushing with clean water, brush it with a detergent. Then rinse with plenty of water.


Daily maintenance is also essential. When the temperature of the hub is high, it should be naturally cooled before cleaning. Never use cold water to clean it; otherwise, the aluminum alloy wheel will be damaged and even the brake disc will be deformed. And affect the braking effect. In addition, cleaning the aluminum platform gold hub with a cleaning agent at high temperatures will cause a chemical reaction on the surface of the hub, which will lose its luster and affect the appearance.


When the hub is covered with hard-to-remove tar, if the general cleaning agent does not help, try to remove it with a brush, but do not use a hard brush, especially an iron brush, to avoid damaging the hub surface. Some experts have introduced a remedy for removing tar: that is, using medicinal "active oil" to rub, you can get unexpected results, car owners may wish to give it a try. In addition, when the vehicle is located close to the waterfront, the hub should be cleaned to avoid corrosion of the aluminum surface by salt.
