Exterior cleaning only, fully mobile. From AED 29 · 20-30 min · saves about 60 litres per wash Wheels are the hardest-working, most-neglected part of any car, and clean wheels lift the whole vehicle. Our Wheel and Rim Cleaning uses a dedicated, finish-safe cleaner and a set of soft brushes to clear brake dust and road grime from the faces, spokes and barrels. From AED 29, it is a fast add-on or a stand-alone fix for grimy alloys. Brake dust is not just dirt. It is a mix of fine metallic particles and high-temperature residue that, in the UAE heat, can bake onto the rim and start to bond with the finish if it sits for weeks. Our cleaner is formulated to be safe on the common wheel finishes here, painted, machined, clear-coated and polished alloys, so it lifts that residue without stripping the lacquer. It is sprayed on, given a short dwell to break the grip, then agitated rather than left to dry in the sun. The brushwork is where wheels are actually cleaned. Different brushes reach different areas: a soft face brush for the visible spokes, a long, flexible barrel brush for the hidden inner rim where the worst dust hides, and detail brushes for lug recesses and valve stems. Doing the barrels matters because that trapped dust is what throws grime back onto the face and lower body within days. Each wheel is then rinsed with minimal water and dried so no cleaner or mineral residue is left to spot. Tyres and arches get attention in the same visit. The sidewalls are scrubbed to remove the brown oxidised film that dulls black rubber, and the wheel arch lips are wiped of the caked road spray that collects there. A light, non-greasy tyre dressing finishes the tyre with a clean satin look rather than the sticky, sling-prone gloss that flicks onto your paint on the first drive. The result is a wheel that looks maintained, not just wet. This service earns its place in UAE conditions specifically. Fine desert dust mixes with brake residue into a stubborn grey film, high summer temperatures accelerate how quickly it bonds, and cars doing motorway miles on the E11 or E311 pick up heavy deposits fast. Left too long, that build-up becomes genuinely hard to remove and can permanently mar a polished lip. A regular wheel clean is cheap insurance against corrosion staining and pitting on an expensive set of alloys. What it will not do is repair damage. Kerb rash, gouges, corrosion that has already bitten into the metal, and peeling lacquer are refinishing jobs, not cleaning ones, and we will tell you honestly if that is what your wheels need. Cleaning restores how a sound wheel looks; it cannot bring back finish that has already failed. For sound alloys, though, this is the quickest way to make a whole car look cared for. ## What is included - Finish-safe wheel cleaner sprayed and dwelled on all four wheels - Soft face brushes for spokes and visible rim surfaces - Flexible barrel brush for the hidden inner rim - Detail brushes for lug recesses and valve stems - Tyre sidewalls scrubbed to remove oxidised brown film - Wheel arch lips wiped of caked road spray - Light, sling-free satin tyre dressing applied - Minimal-water rinse and spot-free dry per wheel ## Best for - Cars with heavy brake dust from motorway commuting - Owners of polished or painted alloys wanting them protected - Anyone adding a wheel clean to a body wash - Performance and sports cars that produce more brake residue ## Environmental impact Wheels are usually where a hose wash wastes the most water, blasting arches and barrels for minutes at a time. Our brush-led method rinses with minimal water and still reaches the hidden inner rim, saving roughly 60 litres against a hose-based wheel clean. The pH-safe cleaner is biodegradable, and because we lift residue rather than pressure-blast it around your bay, there is no metallic slurry running off into the drains. ## FAQ **How much does wheel and rim cleaning cost in Abu Dhabi?** It starts from AED 29 for a standard set of four wheels, with larger or heavily-soiled wheels priced accordingly. You can book it on its own or add it to any body wash, and you always see the price before confirming. **Will your wheel cleaner damage my alloys?** No. We use a finish-safe cleaner suited to painted, machined, clear-coated and polished alloys, applied with a short dwell and agitated, never left to bake dry. It lifts brake dust without stripping lacquer. We match the method to your specific wheel finish. **Do you clean the inside of the rim as well?** Yes. A long, flexible barrel brush reaches the hidden inner rim where the heaviest brake dust collects and hides. Cleaning the barrels is what stops that trapped grime being thrown back onto the wheel face and lower body within a few days of driving. **Can you fix kerb rash or corrosion on my rims?** No. Kerb rash, gouges, active corrosion and peeling lacquer are refinishing jobs, not cleaning. We will tell you honestly if that is what your wheels need. Our service restores how sound wheels look, but cannot repair a finish that has already failed. **Is a tyre dressing included?** Yes. We finish with a light, non-greasy satin dressing that cleans up the sidewalls without the sticky gloss that slings onto your paint on the first drive. It looks natural and keeps the black rubber from fading to grey as quickly. ## Cities - Wheel and Rim Cleaning in Abu Dhabi: https://washbox.ae/services/wheel-and-rim-cleaning/abu-dhabi - Wheel and Rim Cleaning in Dubai: https://washbox.ae/services/wheel-and-rim-cleaning/dubai
