Wheel Polishing
+$150
Wheels endure some of the harshest conditions on any vehicle — extreme heat cycles from braking, constant exposure to acidic brake dust, road chemicals, and physical abrasion from curbs and debris. This service uses iron and brake dust remover to dissolve bonded contamination, followed by machine polishing to remove etching, oxidation, and light scratches from the wheel face and spokes. A dedicated wheel sealant is applied at the end to protect the polished surface against future brake dust bonding and make wheel cleaning substantially easier.
When You Need This
Add wheel polishing when alloy or chrome wheels show brake dust staining that does not wash off, light scratch marks from road debris, or a dull, oxidized finish that washing cannot fix. It pairs naturally with paint correction — polished paint alongside dull, stained wheels is immediately noticeable and undermines the overall result. It is also one of the highest-impact upgrades when preparing a vehicle for sale, since wheels are among the first things a buyer evaluates.
What's Involved
- 1.Remove wheels from the vehicle for full access to all faces, spokes, and barrel surfaces — or detail in place for standard packages.
- 2.Apply an iron and brake dust remover to dissolve bonded contamination; allow full dwell time and rinse thoroughly before any polishing.
- 3.Machine polish the wheel face and spokes with a cutting compound to remove oxidation, water spots, and light scratches.
- 4.Follow with a fine finishing polish to maximize reflectivity and eliminate any haze left by the cutting stage.
- 5.Apply a dedicated wheel sealant or ceramic coating to all polished surfaces to protect against brake dust bonding and heat.

Other Upgrades to Consider
Clay Bar Treatment
+$50
A polymer clay bar glides across lubricated paint and physically shears off bonded contaminants — brake dust, rail dust, and industrial fallout — that washing alone cannot remove.
Learn More →Chrome & Metal Polish
+$75
Metal polishing compounds cut through oxidation, water spots, and surface rust on chrome bumpers, exhaust tips, grilles, and bare metal trim to restore a mirror-like reflective finish.
Learn More →Glass Polish
+$125
Cerium oxide compounds dissolve etched mineral deposits and buff out wiper scratches from all glass surfaces, then a hydrophobic treatment is applied to repel water and reduce glare.
