Bring Back the Shine Where It Matters Most — Clean, Protected, and Brake-Dust Free
Your wheels are the first part of your vehicle to get dirty — and the last thing most people clean properly. Brake dust, road grime, tar, and corrosive chemicals can eat away at your rims over time, dulling their finish and making your whole car look neglected.
At RoamShine, we treat your wheels like their own detailing job — not just a rinse-and-wipe afterthought. Our professional wheel and rim cleaning service restores shine, removes stuck-on grime, and helps protect your finish for the long haul — right at your location.
Why Proper Wheel Cleaning Matters
Most car washes blast your wheels with soap and call it a day. But real wheel detailing makes a difference.
- Brake dust contains iron, which can etch into clear coat and alloy
- Road grime, tar, and salt can cause corrosion and pitting
- Dirty wheels make your entire vehicle look less cared for
- Regular wheel care extends the life of expensive rims and brake components
Whether your wheels are matte black, chrome, painted, or powder-coated — we clean them with the right methods and products.
What’s Included in Our Wheel & Rim Cleaning
We go beyond the basics with every wheel detail:
- Full face + inner barrel cleaning
- Safe iron remover + brake dust fallout gel
- Agitation with soft wheel brushes (no scratching)
- Lug nut and spoke cleaning
- Tire wall scrub + degrease
- Application of non-sling tire dressing
- Optional wheel sealant or ceramic coating for protection
We clean by hand with detail brushes — not automatic spinning brushes that scratch finishes.
Who This Is Perfect For
- Anyone tired of brown, dusty wheels days after a wash
- Daily drivers with high brake dust output (BMW, Audi, etc.)
- Owners of chrome, polished, or custom wheels that need extra care
- Off-road vehicles or lifted trucks with deep-set rims
- Show cars or vehicles prepping for sale or photography

FAQs – Wheel & Rim Detailing
Do you clean the barrels (inner part)?
Yes — when accessible. We use barrel brushes and degreasers to clean deep inside for a full finish.
Can you clean brake calipers or apply dressing to them?
We clean visible calipers but do not paint or dress them. Ask us about caliper-safe detailing options.
Do you offer wheel ceramic coating?
Yes — ceramic coating helps wheels resist brake dust and makes them easier to clean. It's a great add-on for performance or luxury cars.
Is this safe for aftermarket or painted rims?
Yes — we match products to your rim material and finish to avoid etching, hazing, or discoloration.
