  • Keeping white alloys clean?

    I've got white alloys on my DS3 Ice and a know they are going to be a pain in the arse to keep white.

    I just jet washed the car (first clean after just 5 days) and already the dirt is stubbornly refusing to come off in places.

    Any recommendations to keep them clean and stop dirt adhering to them in the 1st place?

    Plenty of products available to choose from to seal your wheels and give protection from brake dust, try looking on sites like autofinesse, cleanyourcar etc. You'll find plenty of choice, just comes down to how much you want spend at the end of the day.

      Sealing them with wheel wax or sealant will help. It won't stop the dirt. But it will make it easier to wash the dirt off.

        Yeah, get a good sealant on as mentioned above

        Could always try some before you commit to a big bottle

          Best way to keep white wheels clean is black paint.

                On my new car, I decontaminated them then applied AngelWax Ti-22 sealant. This was then topped with 2 applications of FK1000p Hi-Temp wax. Should be good for 3-6 months protection.
