Infiniti QX: Wheels
Wash the wheels when washing the vehicle
to maintain their appearance.
► Clean the inner side of the wheels when
the wheel is changed or the underside
of the vehicle is washed.
► Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents
or corrosion. Such damage may cause
loss of pressure or poor seal at the tire
bead.
► INFINITI recommends that the road
wheels be waxed to protect against
road salt in areas where it is used
during winter.
CAUTION
Do not use abrasive cleaners when washing
the wheels.
Aluminum alloy wheels
Wash regularly with a sponge dampened in a mild soap solution, especially during winter months in areas where road salt is used. Salt could discolor the wheels if not removed.
CAUTION
Follow the directions below to avoid staining
or discoloring the wheels:
► Do not use a cleaner that uses strong
acid or alkali contents to clean the
wheels.
► Do not apply wheel cleaners to the
wheels when they are hot. The wheel
temperature should be the same as ambient temperature.
► Rinse the wheel to completely remove
the cleaner within 15 minutes after the
cleaner is applied.
