When you operate a pressure washing business and are questioned to clean machinery, show trailers for beer companies and trucks that haven’t seen water or civilization for over a year, you develop techniques to get things cleaned, quick that others can’t.
 
Sometimes its as basic as applying hard labor and hot water, and at other times, its using a combination of high or  low pressure and special chemicals and soaps.
 
The All Clean Service crew in Vancouver, has many times, cleaned an ancient machine which was to head to the paint department and when it was finished, repainting wasn’t needed, Seeing this, the owner or operator, will say, “Can you guys get my wheels clean with those pressure wash machines?”
 
And the answer they get usually surprises them. Whether you use hot or cold water pressure washing, its what you do before you wash them with the machine, that makes the difference. A power wash will remove most of the black or brown colored brake dust from your steel, alloy or painted wheels, but there will always be a residue that wants to stay place. And regular soap just won’t cut it.
 
Local auto parts stores sell a variety of wheel cleaners, and the foamy ones tend to do a better job of cleaning, than a light liquid spray on cleaner, but there’s something you probably already have at home that works as excellent or better.
 
Believe it or not, your liquid diswasher gel or soap is dynamite for cleaning the dust off your once shiny wheels.
 
Place a small in a small bowl and wipe it onto your wheels with a paper towel or an ancient dish brush. Then give it a quick blast with your pressure washer so that there’s no dried residue and you’re done!
