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.
Authorized dealers have touch-up paint to
match your vehicle’s color. Your vehicle
color code is printed on a sticker on the front,
left-hand side door jamb...
If you plan on storing your vehicle for 30
days or more, read the following
maintenance recommendations to make sure
your vehicle stays in good operating
condition...
