Most of the time, your wheels will get dity because of brake dust and road tar. Brake dust comes when the adhesive residue on your brake pads gets wet, which can etch your wheels. On top of that, the metal fillings inside your rakes can become hot, and will even occasionally burn tiny holes int he side of your wheels. Add road tar and other elements to the mix, and your tires can get pretty roughted up just driving down the road.

When you get ready to clean the wheels on your Mercedes, choose the least aggressive way to start with. Begin with regular car wash detergent. If that won’t clean your wheels, move up to a tire cleaner. Try to pick a tire cleaner that isn’t very acidic, as this will affect your wheels’ finish. Choose a tire cleaner that’s pH balanced.
