What we clean

The tires get the attention they deserve

Clean faces are only the beginning. We work into the areas most quick washes miss.

Spokes and wheel faces

We clean around spoke edges, lug areas, and recessed sections where brake dust collects.

Barrel cleaning

Accessible inner barrels receive focused attention to remove the dark buildup visible behind the spokes.

Tire sidewall reset

Tire sidewalls are cleaned before dressing so the final finish looks dark and controlled, not brown or greasy.

Finish-safe protection

A suitable protectant helps repel grime and makes routine maintenance easier between details.

Why choose Surgical Detail

Clean tires make the paint look better too

Dirty tires pull attention away from an otherwise sharp vehicle. Surgical Detail uses tir-safe cleaners, dedicated brushes, and controlled agitation for a thorough result without abusing the finish. We work around the wheel face, lug area, barrel, caliper, and tire edge with the right tool for each surface.

Our process

A tire cleaning built around the finish

We clean in the right order to avoid dragging contamination across the surface.

1

Cool and inspect

We work on cool tires and identify the material, finish, and level of brake-dust buildup.

2

Rinse and treat

Loose grit is removed before a tire-safe cleaner is applied to the face and accessible barrel.

3

Brush the details

Dedicated brushes reach spokes, lug pockets, valve areas, and inner sections without using one tool everywhere.

4

Dry and protect

We dry the tires/rims, then apply protection for a clean appearance and easier future maintenance.

Tire cleaning questions

Everything you need to know

Do you clean the inside of the wheels?

Yes. We clean accessible inner barrels as part of the service, along with the wheel face, spokes, lug areas, and tire sidewalls.

Can you remove baked-on brake dust?

We can remove most surface and bonded brake-dust buildup with appropriate chemical and mechanical cleaning. Severe etching may be permanent.

Is wheel cleaning safe for ceramic-coated wheels?

Yes. Tell us about any coating before service so we can select compatible products and maintain the coating's performance.

How often should wheels be professionally cleaned?

Many vehicles benefit from a thorough wheel cleaning every few months, with frequency adjusted for mileage, brake dust, weather, and driving conditions.
