The Dirty Truth About Wheels & Tyres — And Why Cleaning Them Matters

Your tyres do more than roll — they affect how your whole car looks. Discover why clean tyres matter and how Baywash Southside makes it easy to maintain them.

Why You Shouldn’t Ignore Your Wheels and Tyres When Washing Your Car

When you pull into Baywash Southside, your goal is a sparkling finish, crystal-clear windows, and a streak-free shine. But what about your tyres?

Tyres and wheels are often overlooked, yet they’re one of the most important parts of your car — and they deserve more than just a rinse.

🧼 1. Brake Dust Builds Up Fast

Every time you drive, brake dust, road grime, and oil cling to your wheels. Over time, this build-up becomes more than just dirty — it can be corrosive, damaging rims and dulling the finish permanently.

🧽 2. Dirty Tyres Undermine a Clean Car

Even if your paint is gleaming, filthy tyres make your car look unfinished. Think of them like shoes on a suit — they complete the look.

🔍 3. Cleaning Helps Spot Issues Early

Regular washing allows you to inspect your tyres closely — check for cracks, worn tread, or nails. It’s an easy way to stay ahead of maintenance and avoid surprises.

💧 4. We Make It Easy

At Baywash, our self-serve bays include settings specifically for tyres and wheels. Use high-pressure soap and rinse, or bring your favourite tyre cleaner for a DIY detail.

✨ Bonus: Add Tyre Shine

After cleaning, consider applying a tyre shine product from our vending machines. It brings out that deep black look and helps repel future grime.

So next time you’re at Baywash, give your tyres a little love. They work hard — and they’ll help your whole car look better for it.
