Wheels-off detailing is one of the best ways to finish off the look of a car. No matter how much you try to clean inside the barrel of your wheels, there will still be road tar and metal fallout in the drum. A wheels-off detail removes the wheels from the car and then we fully decontaminate the wheels and polish them if needed. A wheels off detail also has the advantage of been able to give all parts of the wheel arch a deep clean including your suspension, lining material, brakes etc.
After a wheels-off detail we wax all parts of the wheel as standard, for customers wanting the ultimate protection, your wheels can then be ceramic coated if you would like
Our wheels-off detailing service is the best way to fully clean your wheels and arches, having pristine wheel drums and brakes etc really polishes off the look of your car
We start by securely lifting the vehicle using the correct jacking points and supporting it on axle stands to ensure complete stability. The wheels are carefully removed, allowing access to both the wheels themselves and the inner arches.
With the wheels off, we begin a full decontamination process. A specialist wheel cleaner breaks down brake dust, road grime, and stubborn contamination, while precision detailing brushes are used to reach deep into the barrel and behind the spokes. Iron fallout removers and tar removers are applied to dissolve bonded contaminants before the wheels are rinsed and dried.
The inside of the wheel barrel is often neglected during standard washes, but with the wheels off, we give this area a full deep clean. The tyres are also scrubbed to remove old dressings and built-up grime, ensuring they are completely fresh before conditioning.
Once fully cleaned and dried, we apply a high-temperature-resistant ceramic coating or sealant to the wheels, protecting them from brake dust buildup and making future cleaning much easier. This protective layer enhances the finish while creating a barrier against dirt and contaminants.
With the wheels removed, we take the opportunity to deep clean the inner arches, suspension components, and brake calipers. A degreaser is used to break down built-up dirt, followed by a targeted clean to restore these hidden areas to a like-new condition.
Once everything is cleaned, protected, and inspected, the wheels are carefully refitted and torqued to the manufacturer’s specifications. The tyres are dressed to enhance their appearance, and a final wipe-down ensures the perfect finish.
Our wheels-off detailing service provides a level of cleanliness and protection that standard washing simply can’t achieve. Ideal for enthusiasts, show cars, or anyone looking to maintain their vehicle to the highest standard, this process ensures that every inch of the wheel and surrounding components is given the care and attention it deserves.
