How to Wash & Seal Wheels in One Wash – Pure Magic + Tough As Shell
Wheels are the dirtiest part of any vehicle, constantly exposed to brake dust, road salt, and grime. Most people wash them, but few protect them properly—meaning they get dirty again fast. With Pure Magic Cleaner and Tough As Shell, you can clean and seal your wheels in the same wash for lasting shine and easier maintenance.
The Wheel Wash & Seal System
Pure Magic Cleaner melts away brake dust and grime, while Tough As Shell Ceramic Spray locks in protection against future buildup. Together, they keep your wheels cleaner, longer.
Why Washing Isn’t Enough
Brake dust is corrosive—it eats into wheel finishes if left untreated. Even if you wash regularly, unprotected wheels attract grime fast. By sealing wheels after cleaning, you create a slick barrier that:
- Prevents brake dust from bonding.
- Makes future washes faster and easier.
- Keeps wheels glossier for longer.
Tools & Products You’ll Need
- Pure Magic Cleaner – dissolves brake dust and grime.
- Wheel Brushes – for lug nuts, barrels, and spokes.
- Microfiber Towels – for wiping and drying.
- Tough As Shell Ceramic Spray – seals and protects wheels.
Step-by-Step: Wash & Seal Wheels
- Rinse Wheels: Use a hose or pressure washer to remove loose dirt.
- Apply Pure Magic Cleaner: Spray directly onto wheels, ensuring full coverage. Let dwell 1–2 minutes.
- Agitate: Use wheel brushes to loosen stubborn grime.
- Rinse Clean: Thoroughly rinse to remove all residue.

- Apply Tough As Shell: Mist onto wheels and wipe with microfiber for a slick, sealed finish.
Benefits of Sealed Wheels
- Cleaner wheels for longer periods of time.

Maintaining Wheel Protection
Wheel protection is easy to maintain:
