I took my VX-8's and tires off for the winter yesterday and was wondering if I could just take them up to the 1 dollar DIY carwash place and power wash them?. Only thing I am worried about is the wash being to strong and ruining the clear coat on them. Do any of you power wash them?How do you guys clean/prepare your wheels for winter?What's the best way?Thanks in advance. Oh yeah, one more thing, should I pump an extra 5psi into the tires for storage?Thanks.

 

This guy I used to work with used a power washer on his cheap knock off rims (thing they were Konigs) and the clear coat chipped right off. Just to be on the safe side, I would probably just take soap and a sponge and use the elbow grease

 

Yeah, I am afraid that might happen. I'll just take some water and soap and wash them with a rag or something. Thanks for the advice

 

the only thing i clean with pressure washing is the engine bay..

 

I do it all the time. Those sprayers aren;'t pushing out much psi, so I wouldn't be too worried. What kinda wheels? Jst don't get the nozzle right next to the rim. Spray some siple green, use a tooth brush for the corners, and spray it off from say 2 feet away./
