Rims are subjected to high loads every day. Your car’s brake pads have to brake rotating brake discs at temperatures of up to °C. This creates stubborn brake abrasion that severely damages the rim surfaces. In addition, weather influences such as salt, moisture and stone chips provide constant attacks on the rims. Without regular, proper care, damage will occur to the rim surface.

Unfortunately, rims that have been looked after too little or not at all over the years cannot be brought back into shape quickly. Proper and regular care not only preserves the visual impression, but of course also the value of a rim.

In combination with road dirt, it leaves behind stubborn, difficult-to-remove grey-black deposits, especially on the front wheels. If they are not removed over a long period of time, the brake abrasion literally “eats” into the – usually painted – surface. This creates fine holes in which the metals contained in the brake dust sett
