Lincoln Aviator: Vehicle Care / Cleaning the Wheels
- Regularly clean them with a wheel
cleaner. We recommend that you use
Ford approved wheel cleaner if available.
- Remove dirt and brake dust with a
sponge.
- Remove tar and grease with a bug and
tar remover. We recommend that you use
Ford approved bug and tar remover if
available.
- Thoroughly rinse the wheels with water
after cleaning.
If you intend on parking your vehicle for an
extended period after cleaning the wheels
with a wheel cleaner, drive your vehicle for
a few minutes before doing so. This reduces
the risk of corrosion of the brake discs, brake
pads and linings.
Do not clean the wheels when they are hot.
Note: Some car washes could damage
wheel rims and covers.
Note: Using non-recommended cleaners,
harsh cleaning products, chrome wheel
cleaners or abrasive materials could
damage wheel rims and covers.
