General Information
A protective clear or color coating is applied to the surface of original equipment cast aluminum
wheels. A surface degradation condition can begin to develop if this clear coating is damaged or removed. This can happen at some automatic car wash facilities using silicon carbide tipped tire brushes to clean white walls and
tires. Once the protective coating is damaged, exposure to caustic cleaners and/or road salt causes further surface degradation. The procedure details how to strip, clean, and recoat aluminum wheels affected by these conditions.
