The wheels were first cleaned with a solution of clean water combined with a mild degreaser using plastic bristle scrub brushes along with light abrasive scouring pads, followed by a rinsing using clean water and cotton rags. Once the wheels were dry, OnAim preceded by wiping down the wheel bodies and center bases with mineral spirits. Each wheel as well as the center bases were given 3 coats of a cold wax treatment applied using clean cotton rags and natural bristle brushes. This wax coating functions as a protective layer to minimize potential water or environmental damage. After all 3 coats were applied, the wheels were buffed til shine using soft clean rags.
