Services · Wheels & Trim

Brake dust isn't dirt. It's hot metal, eating your wheels.

Every stop embeds iron shavings into the wheel finish, where they rust and pit if they stay. We dissolve them chemically, clean the barrels and calipers most shops never touch, and bring faded trim back to deep black.

  • Wheels sealed - future brake dust wipes off instead of baking on
  • Tires dressed satin - rich and dark, no greasy shine, no sling up the paint
  • Wheel wells detailed - the black frame that makes the whole car pop
  • Faded trim restored - chalky grey plastic back to even, deep black

The details

Watch the brake dust give up.

The purple streaks are iron dissolving. It's the most satisfying part of the job.

“I thought I needed new wheels. Turns out I needed someone to actually clean these ones. The purple stage blew my mind.”

Questions

Asked before every set.

Why do my wheels never stay clean?

Because brake dust is hot iron that bonds to the finish within days - soap slides right over it. Once the embedded iron is dissolved and the wheel is sealed, new dust sits on top of the sealant instead, and a rinse takes it off.

Is the trim restoration permanent?

Nothing on sun-baked plastic is permanent, so we won't tell you otherwise. Our trim treatment is a restorative coating measured in months to a couple of years depending on sun exposure - not the two-weeks-of-shine spray dressing you've tried from the parts store.

Do you really take the wheels off?

On the Wheels-Off package, yes - it's the only way to properly reach the full barrel and hub, and it's the right time to ceramic coat them. They go back on with a torque wrench to your manufacturer's spec, not an impact gun.

Can you fix curb rash or pitting?

No - that's refinishing, not detailing, and we'd rather tell you straight. What we can do is make the damage the only flaw left on the wheel, and point you to a refinisher we trust if you want it gone completely.
