Every time you take your car for a drive, brake dust is generated. This is a type of dirt that is a mixture of carbon fibres and adhesive, which comes off when the metal shaving and brake pad starts operating. This dirt is categorised as highly corrosive because it is generated from the heat and if it is not removed timely, can cause pitting and wheel corrosion. Also, road grimes can similarly harm your car wheels.
This is why, if you own a car, you need to take your car for a proper car wheel cleaning regularly. Also, it is suggested to get your car wheels professionally cleaned before cleaning the rest of your vehicle. This is because; while cleaning your car there is a chance that the brake dust and dirty water can end up blotching the car, which will again require cleaning.
