Care

Keep your wheels looking their best with proper cleaning and finish care.

Regular cleaning and correct maintenance help preserve your wheel’s appearance, protect the finish, and extend the life of your investment.

Daily & regular cleaning

Regular cleaning

Routine cleaning prevents brake dust and grime build-up that can stain and damage your wheels.

Mild products

Use pH-balanced, non-acidic cleaners to protect the finish and maintain your wheels.

Dry thoroughly

Dry with a soft microfiber towel to prevent water spots and keep the finish clean.

Avoid damage

Avoid harsh tools, automatic washes and chemicals that can harm your wheels.

Avoid these

Strong acidic or alkaline cleaners

Aggressive chemicals can stain, dull or damage the wheel finish over time.

Chemical wheel cleaners

If a product is not suitable for coated alloy wheels, avoid using it on MH OFFROAD wheels.

Abrasive brushes or hard tools

Steel wool, hard brushes and rough pads can scratch the surface and remove coating protection.

High-pressure washing too close

Do not direct a pressure washer too closely at the finish, valve or wheel edge for extended periods.

Finish care tips

Matte / satin finish

Clean with mild soap and water only. Avoid glossy wax and polish unless the product specifically suits matte finishes.

Gloss black / painted

Use gentle cleaner and a soft cloth. Regular cleaning helps maintain a deep, even shine.

Machined / face finish

Keep clean to maintain the machined contrast. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the clear coat.

Bronze / gunmetal

Use pH-neutral products and rinse well after cleaning to help prevent residue and water spots.
