Main Menu Table Of Contents Wiper Blades, Wheels Wheels Clean the wheels as you would the rest of the exterior. Wash them with the same solution, and rinse them thoroughly. Aluminum alloy wheels have a protective clear-coat that keeps the aluminum from corroding and tarnishing. Cleaning the wheels with harsh chemicals (including some commercial wheel cleaners) or a stiff brush can damage the clear-coat. To clean the wheels, use a mild detergent and a soft brush or sponge. BLADE REINFORCEMENT 3. Examine the new wiper blades. If they have no plastic or metal reinforcement along the back edge, remove the metal reinforcement strips from the old wiper blade, and install them in the slots along the edge of the new blade. 4. Slide the new blade into the wiper arm. Make sure it is engaged in the slot along its full length. 5. Lower the wiper arm. Maintenance 359 2008 RDX
