The wheels on your Ford Ranger are not only functional but also express the character and style of your vehicle. However, over time, brake dust, dirt, and grime can cause rims to lose their sheen.

Fortunately, cleaning the rims of your Ranger can restore their showroom luster and enhance the truck's overall appearance. In this article, we'll guide you through the process of polishing your Ford Ranger's rims to ensure they look their best.

Getting Ready for the Job



Before beginning the polishing process, it's crucial to gather the necessary materials and prepare your Ranger's rims

Basic tools are required, such as

• rim-specific polish
  
• a soft-bristle tire brush
  
• microfiber or cotton towels
  
• tire treatment if desired
  

Select the Proper Polish

Choose a high-quality rim polish suitable for the type of rims on your Ranger, whether they're chrome, aluminum, or alloy.

Safety First

Wear protective goggles and gloves to shield your eyes and hands from the chemicals used in polishing.

Cool Wheels

Ensure the rims on your Ranger are cool to the touch before starting. Polishing hot rims can harm the finish and yield uneven results.

Rim Cleaning



The first step in effective rim polishing is a thorough cleaning to remove debris, brake dust, and other contaminants:

Begin by cleaning the tires and rims of your Ranger with a quality wheel cleaner or a solution of mild soap and water. Use a tire brush or soft-bristled brush to remove brake dust and grime. Pay special attention to tight spaces.

Thoroughly Rinse

Use clean water to rinse your tires and rims, ensuring all cleaning residues are removed.

Completely Dry

Use a clean microfiber or cotton towel to dry your wheels and tires thoroughly. Remaining moisture can dilute the polish and affect its efficacy.
