Why car care is more than just washing

Car care isn't a luxury – it protects your vehicle from the elements, depreciation, and corrosion. Rims and hubcaps deserve special attention, as they are constantly exposed to environmental influences. Regular car care saves on repair costs in the long run and maintains the resale value.

🛠 The 5 steps to effective car care

1. Pre-wash & rim cleaning
  • Use a pH-neutral pre-cleaner.
  • Spray the rims with acid-free rim cleaner.
  • Use special brushes to clean between the spokes.

💡 Tip from nabennerd24: Our rim protection sets and hubcaps are easy to remove – for residue-free cleaning.

2. Hand washing using the two-bucket method

  • A bucket of shampoo, a bucket for rinsing.
  • Use a soft washcloth instead of a sponge (it won't scratch!).
  • Always work from top to bottom.

3. Drying & Detail Work

  • Use microfiber cloths, not a conventional cloth!
  • Carefully dry all crevices, emblems, and hubcaps.

4. Polish rims & hubcaps

  • Apply polish to a soft cloth.
  • Work it in using a circular motion, then polish.
  • Optional: Sealant for long-term protection.
