This instruction includes useful tips and recommendations for keeping your 2001-2006 Sprinter van wheels clean and making them look pristine for years to come.
Every T1N Sprinter Van owner wants to keep the wheels of their car in mint condition for as long as possible. To that end you need to take care of your wheels on a regular basis and do this as carefully as you do with other valuable parts of your vehicle. Bear in mind that road grime traps moisture, which sooner or later can lead to rusting, while brake dust incurred by braking friction can form pits on the finish of your wheels.
To clean your wheels and make them always look like new, you’ll need water and some mild dish soap. Avoid the use of abrasive materials which can scratch or degrade the finish. So be careful when using a bristle brush to clean your tires and forget about scouring pads. Remember and take into account that strong chemicals and steam cleaners can lead to discoloration or corrosion.
Remember, Before starting to clean your Sprinter Van Wheels let them cool down, after driving they heat up. If you spray them with cold water from hose, while hot they will crack!
