Car Detailing Service
Wheel-Off Detailing
Wheels removed for full barrel, caliper and wheel well cleaning, then protected so brake dust rinses away.
Wheel-Off Detailing in Cornwall, Ontario
A common misconception is that clean-looking wheels are clean wheels. The face is only about a third of the surface, and the barrels behind it hold most of the brake dust and road salt.
What wheel-off detailing covers
We remove each wheel from the vehicle so the inner barrel, caliper, hub and wheel well can be cleaned properly.
Once everything is clean and dry, the faces and barrels get protection so future brake dust rinses off instead of baking on.
When wheels need to come off
- Brake dust stays behind even after a thorough wash of the wheel faces.
- You can see caked salt or grime inside the barrel when you turn the wheel.
- The vehicle is heading into a coating, correction or resale detail and you want it right.
The work, step by step
- One wheel at a time, on proper supports, on level ground.
- Barrels, calipers, hubs and suspension areas cleaned by hand.
- Wheel wells cleaned and dressed, tires cleaned to a satin finish.
- Wheels reinstalled and torqued to the manufacturer specification. Budget two to three hours.
Cornwall pricing
Cost in Cornwall varies with wheel design, how much buildup has accumulated and whether the service is booked on its own or added to a larger detail.
Working with a local team
We live and work in the Cornwall area, so booking, rescheduling and follow-up go through one person rather than a call centre. If something is not right when we finish, we come back and fix it.
