Keeping the Volvo Wheels Supreme 101

Anthony Fontanelle
October 16, 2007

Here are a few tips to keep Volvo wheels in tip-top condition: First, never allow alloy wheels to undergo steam cleaning. The devices used in this process exude extreme heat that the protective coating on the wheels and their surfaces cannot endure, resulting to their dullness. Secondly, it is best to practice caution when visiting car washes because some use harsh acid cleaners for the wheels’ soil removal. Lastly, one should ensure the safety of the wheel coating by not getting rid of soils through the use of abrasive cleaners, steel wool pads or polishing agents. However, when all else fails, the Volvo Brake Dust Shields will prove to be of great help.

The Volvo Brake Dust Shields are the aluminum plate capturing all the brake dust blown from the brake disc to stop it from remaining on the rims. They neither get in the way of the car's braking system nor affect its cooling or overheating. Each Volvo Brake Dust Shield is made from the most durable materials that were gathered and tested according to the exacting standards of Volvo. Every Volvo brake part is a product that has undergone careful thought and strict deliberation in order to generate excellent road performance for every car owner. The Volvo Brake Dust Shields are the finest investments that one can put on the wheels. They offer perfect protection especially on the front wheels where brake dust generation occurs most often. Rear wheels also generate brake dust so it is better to equip them with dust shields as well.

Probably the wisest and most practical thing that a driver can do for his car wheels is to keep them protected and clean all the time. So if one hopes to flaunt his car wheels, one must make sure that they are hooked up only with brake dust shields by Volvo.
